Large and small, local or international, all companies share the need to occasionally look deep within their operating methods in the wake of non-conformance in order to learn from their mistakes. World-class organizations recognize that solid root cause analysis and timeliness in correcting their processes are vitally important to their ability to compete effectively and meet their customer’s high expectations.

Denise Robitaille and I worked together for the past several years as ANSI representatives on the new ISO 10014 international standard, now in “DIS” stage. We met recently in Washington DC during the US TAG to TC 176 meeting and I arranged to interview her for this Podcast as a follow up to our last program about customer complaints. Her books are excellent and published by Paton Press. Click on this link for further information:http://www.patonpress.com.
