Meeting 10/28/05               “Problem Solving and Decision Making” Seminar

INCOSE is sponsoring this event and is inviting members of the following societies to attend at membership price: AFCEA, AIChE, ASEM, ASME, HPS, PMI, NMA, and SWE.

Date:      Friday, October 28, 2005

Presenter:  Jim Junker and Ed “Whiz” Urbanawiz.

Description:         Jim and Whiz have talked to us previously this year, and they have a more specific program for engineers.  The focus of the presentation will be on use of Six Sigma tools and methodologies for engineers in solving performance problems associated with processes.  Processes are repeated tasks we perform for the purpose of meeting a customer need.  Discussion highlights include:

1)       Focusing on a problem statement & objective

2)       Establishing the Voice of the Customer,

3)       Methodologies to identify in-process actions that adversely affect performance of the final product / deliverable

4)       Control methods to maintain performance gains.

There will also be discussion of performance management techniques (behavior modification) in addressing people performance issues & managing change.  Certificate of attendance will be given.

May 18           The Russian’s are Coming

Description:   There will be a Russian delegation in town for the Russian Inspection Program during the week of May 16.  This is an annual inspection, organized through NNSA, where the Russian delegation inspects the SRS reactors to make sure no plutonium is being processed.  A similar delegation is sent from here to Russia as well.  ANS has invited us to join them and the Russian delegation (and possibly other societies)  in a joint dinner meeting on Wednesday, May 18.  During the meeting, each society would give a 5-10 minute presentation on who they are and what they do, which would be shown in English as well as Russian.  NNSA will also give a presentation about the Russian Inspection Program.  ANS is trying to get the Russian delegation to make a small presentation as well.  In the past, they try to sit 2 Russians + 1 translator at each table, so there is good mixing between us & them. 

 May 11           University of Alabama – Huntsville (UAH) is coming to Dinner

There will be no formal presentation, but you will have a chance to talk with Dr. Farrington and Dr. Utley about what UAH has to offer, network with classmates, or just meet the professors for the first time.

This is a joint activity with the American Society of Engineering Management (ASEM)
