Section 0707 virtual meetings have been previously held on WebEx. The platform will be switching to Zoom, which has similar features. Meeting links will still be sent out via email. Be sure you’ve opted in to section 0707 communication on your account on asq.org to receive the meeting invitation emails.
At the October meeting, the discussion topic was Ishikawa (Fishbone) Diagrams, a type of cause and effect diagram. Common areas of focus include:
Human Factors or People
Methods or Processes
Environment
Measurement
Materials
Machines/Tools and Maintenance
Discussion included how leadership, policy, and biases play a role as causes. Have you ever used an Ishikawa Diagram to prevent a problem rather than react to a problem?
