Exemplar Global, Improvement, RABQSA

Sunday Summary – 3 Nov., ’13

Leave a comment

And a fine Sunday it is. Last week was a one-audit week on the west coast; a reCertification audit. They did some excellent work! Always a pleasure to go there as they are good, smart folks who have really embraced the ISO 9001 model and adapted it well to a biomedical field.

Here’s the recap of last week’s posts:

  • Monday – The RABQSA is changing its name to “Exemplar Global” so we explored the implications and considerations for that move.
  • Then there was a “How To’sday” about something called the Hawthorne effect. Essentially how change for change’s sake can increase short-term productivity – if the change actually improves the process – so much the better.
  • And Friday we took a breather and posted a slideshow of [more] bird images from the trip out to Oakland, California. Why not, right?

Here’s another one, just for kicks – a surfer dude near SFO:

Next week will bring me to two local audits, will be nice to be home for a full week for a change.

I do hope your weekend was a relaxing one –  we’ll talk soon!

Thanks –Sal
