PQ Systems through it’s Quality eline newsletter brings us another quality quiz.
For this month’s quiz, you get a chance to win a copy of the newly-released collection of Quality Quiz Classics. Submit your response by August 27 to be entered in the drawing.
Anna Gramm is learning to make charts for Deer Dairy Farms, a small firm that produces ice cream. In evaluating the quality of the finished product, the company is insistent on consistency among all the ice cream that is shipped. For chocolate-chip-cookie-dough ice cream, for example, inspectors examine content for the number of chocolate chips and the amount of cookie dough in sample containers of the product. In addition, inspectors must evaluate creaminess factors and melt temperature for each sampled container, and must examine the container label to be sure that it accurately indicates contents, that it is applied straight, and that the printing is correct. This proofreading task was added to their task list after a shipment went out that proclaimed the name of the dairy as “Dear Diary,†so the firm is sensitive about its image.
Winners of last month’s quiz and who each gets a copy of the Quality Quiz Classics DVD are:
Tony Armijo (Presbyterian Healthcare)
Lynn Billings (Petro-Canada)
Jonathan Downey (Schivo Precision, Ireland)
Ian Newsom (Lion Nathan, Australia)
Robert Todd (Fruit of the Loom).
Congratulations!
