MGA-SC Hosts ASQ-Palmetto Section Meeting

By: Natalee Small - Greer

On June 14, 2011, MGA-SC location hosted an on-site meeting and tour for the ASQ (American Society for Quality) Palmetto Section. This organization brings together many professionals who are involved with South Carolina businesses. The meeting is held monthly to discuss a range of topics that relate to quality and how it can be impacted or improved on a day to day basis.             

MGA was honored to host this year’s End of the Season Meeting. We had a great turn out that included over 40 people from the area. Following a sit down dinner and refreshments, a tour of the test laboratory was conducted which included various test demonstrations. Mark Nowakowski and Philip Carpentier, MGA test engineers, led the tour and answered many questions. The test demonstrations included a Head Injury Criteria (HIC) test, Door Slam Life Cycle, and a Seat Back Airbag Deployment.      Quality assurance is extremely important to manufacturing plants to ensure they are producing good products. When issues arise that affect the integrity of the product, in depth testing is key to determining the issue. MGA makes it a priority to guarantee that appropriate measures are taken to conduct the testing properly.         

We would like to thank the ASQ committee as well as all who attended for allowing us to discuss and demonstrate our capabilities at our South Carolina lab. For more information regarding the Palmetto section of ASQ, please visit their website at: www.palmettoasq.org.
