"There were lots of generous people who helped us top our goal," Naselius said. "Some organizations donated 150 to 200 percent of their goals. There were also extra fund raisers that the bowling tournament helped us raised $1,000." Fund donations are due by Friday, but Naselius said contributions will still be accepted afterward.

Air Jeran F. Bingham Force Quality Office In the world of quality assurance there are some people who have been instrumental in developing ideas and philosophies that now govern the level of quality for almost everything produced in the world's industrial community. A few years after World War II, the teachings and ideas of one of these people. W. Edward Deming, were adopted by the Japanese and the results were astounding. The Japanese went from being a laughable entity in the world of production to one of the world's leaders in the quality of what they produce. The rest of the world, including the United States, has been hard pressed in recent years to catch up with the quality of products coming out of J apan. This is especially apparent in automotive and electronic products. In the late 1980s some Air Force factions, including Hill AFB, attempted to adopt Dealing's approach to quality. At Hill, his name became a watchword, his ideas were taught, cards with his "14 points" appeared on many desks and in Droductinn Deming' s books were read and video tapes of him giving lectures were viewed. In the world of duality at HHI th base began to try to "build in quality" instead of trvinr in quality." This resulted in the elimination of many hands-oinspection type jobs. Production employees were emachieve the desired level of powered to quality without an insnertrir over their shoulder or checking then-worduring or after it. was accomplished. There were many other efforts n wnrz-hino- k to implement Deming's 14 points and one point was touted each,month With changes in leadership that normally occur in any large industrial complex such as Hill AFB, philosophies also evolve It became apparent that some of Deming's 14 points were not practical or workable at Hill. Other ideas came into vogue, such as the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award and Quality Air Force Assessment criteria. In addition, it was determined that some quality constraints imposed on contractors were generating excessive costs. This has resulted in eliminating quality standards that have been used for several decades. Contractors are now given some latitude in the quality program they employ to assure delivery of conforming products. Many contractors are adopting quality programs that conform to International Standards for Quality. HHI is also considering adopting the same I standards for quality programs. A proposed Inspector General Assessment Guide indicates the Ogden Air Logistics Center will be evaluated on the criteria that correlates with the I 0 standards.., So where is this taking Hill AFB? It becomes apparent that one thing is assured: there will always be change. HHI employees must remain flexible d and enough to see the benefits that can be derived from qual. ity programs. Where would the Japanese be if they were not willing to listen to Deming and implement what he taught? Hill employees should take responsibility for their actions and maintain the integrity -required to always do their $5j - .." , - .'
