Let me start out by saying I am NOT a Quality Engineer. No - that is the specialty of my First Born (blog daughter that is) Machelle of Quality Weenie.
BUT - I do work in manufacturing and have had some experience in Quality and Quality Control.
Bear with me now - I have a very valid point in all this.
There is something called CIP - Continuous Improvement Process. In a nutshell - that is the process of constantly improving. Simple isn't it.
What my experience has been is basic. You have to accomplish something. You brainstorm to come up with the best possible plan. You have to start somewhere.
After you devise the plan, you implement it. Well, surprise surprise. It isn't perfect. It needs tweaking. So you tweak. You IMPROVE it.
And then you keep on working at it. It's like a living, breathing process. Always evolving. Not always good - but always TRYING!!!
OK - now, in the news I hear about the 9/11 Commision giving the government a failing grade on their efforts to thwart terrorism on our home soil.
Yeah - it's not good enough. Yet. We've got a long way to go. But given the rights we have, and trying to make as many people happy as possible - this is NOT an easy task.
So - I'm just wondering, if silly little salesgirl Tammi can get the whole concept of CIP - why can't the Commission??? Did they reall think it would be perfect "right out the box?"
I hate grandstand politics.
Posted by Tammi at December 7, 2005 05:35 AMHold on, I'll clear it all up for you:
Tammi has common sense and intelligence, and in contrast, the Commission sucks.
Wasn't that easy? ;)
Posted by: pam at December 7, 2005 06:28 AMI've been thinking that all along.
You implement something, it's a start, then you see where you need to improve.
Guess they need more Quality people in government.
