1

We were pleased with the high attendance to our regular membership meeting at Shula’s Hotel on February 10

th , 2015. Close to 50 members attended the dinner

and presentation that evening. Our speaker was Duke Okes who also conducted the two-day seminar on “Root Cause Analysis” during the day on Tuesday and Wednesday at the same hotel. The topic of the evening presentation was “Foundations of Process Management and Improvement and the Basic QC Tools.” Duke made a good point about the importance of the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle and its relationship in any im-provement process with the seven basic QC tools: cause-and-effect diagram, check sheet, control charts, histogram, Pareto chart, scatter diagram, and flowchart. It was an informative, interesting, and refresher presentation for any quality profes-sional. Our appreciation goes to Duke for a well delivered topic. Congratulations to Gary Chilson for winning the door prize an Oster toaster. Our next meeting will be held jointly with Section 1515 of Greater Palm Beach and it will be at the Tropical Acres Steakhouse in Fort Lauderdale on the second Tuesday of March 2015. Hope to see you there. Eduardo M. Suárez ASQ 1510 Section Chair Email: [email protected]

Recertifying?

As you retain your RU’s remember to check that the Recertification Journal Applica-tion form you use is the current version when submitting your recertification pack-age.

If you use a form that has an out of date fee, ASQ National in Milwaukee will not update your certification until their current fee is paid. Your local Section does not set or collect the fees, the fees are collected when the approved recertification package is processed in Milwaukee.

If you use an outdated form and do not remit the full recertification fee to National, your recertification will be delayed.

You can download the current form from http://asq.org/cert/recertification.

If your membership is not current but you still select the "member" fee, the applica-tion will not be processed and your recertification will be held.

In that case, please consider renewing your membership - you'll get the lower member rates for recertifying, and many other benefits as well!"

If you have any questions regarding re-certification, please contact Jim Carbone CQA, CQE, CBA, CMQ/OE, ASQ Southeast Florida Section 1510 Recertification Chair: [email protected] or (954) 817-9797.

ASQ RECERTIFICATION GUIDELINES

Have three years passed so quickly that you’re ready to recertify your ASQ Certifications? Some points to consider that will make the process quick and easy for everyone:

1. Provide corroborating documents for the recertification units (RUs) that you claim in your journal application.

2. Make sure that the RUs claimed were earned BEFORE the expiration of your certifi-cation – if not, they will apply to the next certification but not the current certification.

3. If you’re synchronizing two or more certifications, be sure to have enough RUs accumu-lated for the shortest period, i.e., the certification that expires latest (that you’re “pulling in” to the same date as the first of the certifications that are expiring).

4. SIGN THE ETHICS STATEMENT on the Recertification Journal application! This is critical – without your signature, the application will not be processed.

5. Enclose payment, made out to “ASQ” not to Section 1510, not to any person. If you wish to make payment by credit card, sign the credit card section AND ALSO BE SURE TO SIGN THE ETHICS STATEMENT – there are TWO different signatures for two differ-ent purposes.

6. Please DO NOT send your application by private carrier (DHL, UPS, FedEx, etc.) – pri-vate carriers cannot deliver to Post Office boxes.

7. Please DO NOT send your application by Certified Mail or by Express Mail. Certainly these deliver to PO Boxes, but they require in-person signature for receipt which may delay your application. If you feel you must have delivery confirmation, pay the much smaller cost (less than a dollar) and get delivery confirmation through the post office.

CALL OR EMAIL Jim Carbone, CQA, CQE, CBA, CMQ/OE, ASQ

Southeast Florida Section 1510 Recertification Chair if you have any questions: [email protected] or (954) 817-9797.

1. Send your Recertification Journal Packages in either of TWO OPTIONS:

a. Hardcopy – mail to: James Carbone, PO Box 4343, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33338-4343

b. Electronic – email PDF scan of ALL DOCUMENTATION to [email protected]

For Section 1515 Recertification:

EMAIL Judy Gottesman, CSQE, ASQ at [email protected] Southeast Florida Section 1515 Recertification Chair if you have any questions: [email protected]

1. Send your Recertification Journal Packages in either of TWO OPTIONS: a. Hardcopy – mail to: Judy Gottesman, C/O NCCI, 901 Peninsula Corporate Circle, Boca Raton, FL 33487

b. Electronic – email PDF scan of ALL DOCUMENTATION to juci.com

IMPORTANT: You MUST sign the “Applicant Signature and Date” affirming your adherence to the ASQ Code of Ethics and the accuracy of your application along with applicable rules
