Greetings everyone!  My name is Frank Murdock and I am currently the Professional Development Value Stream Chair.  I have been a member of the Lean Enterprise Division since 2008 and have served as Voice of the Customer Chair, Membership Chair and I am also a past chair of the division.  In addition to my duties in the division, I am currently Segment Facilitator of the Design, Control and Improvement Segment and a member of the Technical Communities Council Advisory Group.  I am also a part of the ASQ Quality Body of Knowledge (QBOK) Peer Group since the Lean Body of Knowledge falls under the Professional Development Value Stream.

I retired from Ford Motor Company in 2001 after spending 28 years working in engineering.  In 1986 I was fortunate to begin to work with Dr. W. Edwards Deming while he was consulting with Ford and assisted in running his 4-day seminars.  In 1988 we introduced what we called Process Improvement which was a methodology similar to what later became known as Six Sigma.  In 1990 we began incorporating Theory of Constraints and preliminary concepts of which would later be called Lean - looking at bottlenecks and flow, providing Just-in-Time replenishment and pulling instead of pushing products through the process.  This eventually was formalized by 1995 into what was known as the Ford Production System modeled after the Toyota Production System.  

Since 2003 I have been working as an independent consultant, applying Lean and Quality principles to help organizations improve in a variety of industries including aerospace, banking, electronics, oil & gas, commercial construction, healthcare and non-profits.  I live in Ann Arbor Michigan where the skies are sometimes blue, but in the fall, everything in this town turns maize and blue!

Greeting fellow lean friends.  My name is Jobby Johnson and I am a past chair of the lean Enterprise Forum and then founding chair of the Division.  I am on the nominating committee and if interested in leadership role or helping on a committee let me know and I will try and plug you in where you want to go and where the division needs you.

I am business process improvement advisor for CVS Health which is a fancy name for Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.  Also I am Certified Six Sigma Black belt for 17 years and Certified manager of  Quality/Organizational Excellence for 19 years.  I was chair of the Nebraska section and a Lean Edgerton examiner. Love working in volunteer led organizations like ASQ and also in toastmasters as founding president of Missouri City Toasters Club and achieved my Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) which is the highest level a member can achieve. 

Jobby, Thanks for all you do for Lean education and for starting the Division and serving as our LED Chair in our early history.
