Previous minutes’ action items unresolved (Gail K- Secretary):
Action: Rod has begun conducting a 3 part workshop on Tools for Continuous Improvement and Effective Planning” at our ASQ membership meetings which will total a half day workshop when complete. Can that count toward the half day workshop goal on our QMP goals?
Status: Denise said that it wouldn’t count toward the goal because it is part of the membership meeting so that it is already accounted for, so we just need another workshop or factory tour. See notes below about Anheuser Busch tour below.
