Intro Post

Who am I and why am I blogging about Quality?

Reasonable questions if you're going to spend any time reading what I have to say.

I am a food quality professional. I have worked in Quality Control/Assurance for over 13 years. I have worked at factories that produced major a baking ingredient and at a factory that produced a very minor chemical additive for food products. I have worked in a meat & poultry facility and in bakeries. I have worked in Six Sigma enviornments and in ISO 9000 factories. I have seen really great HACCP plans and some plans that were in need of major refinement and focus. I won't say that I've seen it all (I've been fortunate enough to have avoided working through an actual recall), but I've seen quite a lot.

I am writing about Quality in the hopes of stirring discussions & debates about ideas, issues, & trends in the industry. I hope that you enjoy what I have to say and I hope that you'll contribute your thoughts in the comments section.

Enjoy & Think Quality!
