1. Online Quality Learning Community (OQLC): Food Quality Safety And Security Management Systems (FQSSMS) • Dr. John W. Sinn, Professor • jwsinn@bgnet.bgsu.edu • Quality Systems Specialization, College of Technology, BGSU • www.bgsu.edu/colleges/technology/qs • Wednesday October 13, 2004 • Topics • 1. Quality Systems, Online Quality Learning Community (OQLC) • 2. Courseware, assessment relationships • CIFSNR, IFSNQSTT foundations…….. • Food Quality Safety And Security Management Systems • OQLC, FQSSMS, IFSNQSTT challenges and opportunities

2. Quality Systems, Online Quality Learning Community (OQLC) What does OQLC mean instructionally? • Non-traditional recruitment for 3+1 associate transfer • Two courses per year, total 35 hours minimum, at BGSU • Technical leaders collaborating, improving, growing • Manufacturing, non-manufacturing, project, research • Electronic infrastructure, Blackboard delivery system • Portfolio systems assess, reflect core knowledge • ISO/QS core knowledge, quality functions, applied • American Society for Quality (ASQ) highly integrated • QS minor, proposed QS Certificate, totally web-based Becoming Online Quality Learning Community (OQLC)

3. Quality Systems, Online Quality Learning Community (OQLC) • QS Core, OQLC curriculum in place, fully online • QS 326: Data-based Improvement • QS 327: Process Documentation Systems • QS 426: Quality Change Services • QS 427: Synchronous Quality Planning • Advanced Technology Education (ATE) degree as base • Use existing five course core from ATE • Mature, fully online systems • Additional courses in the works…….lean, others • Lean sequence complementing QS, three new courses • QS assessment seminar, technical research project • These may be added as QS 3+1 completion grows, adds students

4. Courseware, Assessment Relationships • Seven sets define core knowledge as the courseware • Primer: overviews system, core knowledge, start point • Cultural: broad change, leadership, transformation • Data: six sigma problem solving, decision-making • Documentation: problem solving, kaizen, lean, ISO • Service: data, documentation in service functions • Information: communications, information technology • Synchronous: product launch, robust analysis, capstone • Manufacturing and non-manufacturing emphasis • MS Word Office Suite, CD format, going to MS Project • Online use design, optimum flexibility, e-commerce • Communication based on broader infrastructure

5. Courseware, Assessment Relationships Toolkits help teams build project portfolio for assessment 1. Student Teams Form, Get Started, Do Project 2. Use Tool Information, Do Project Applications 3. First Tool Done, Build On Format In Applications 6. Six Tools, Two Phases, Evolve Team Portfolio 5. Assess, Improve, Grow Knowledge 4. Assess First Tool, Review As Portfolio

6. Courseware, Assessment Relationships • Courseware facilitates, guides development of portfolio: • Team oriented, collective work, based on individual work • Grow knowledge, over course, project deliverables • Improved iteratively, instructor assessment, feedback • Courseware has quality system infrastructure, discipline • Portfolio accumulatively built around courseware tools • Tools completed as assignments, assessed, evolve portfolio • Tools, as courseware, conclude with applications: • Interpret, reflect tool content, project work, applications • Synthesizes team communication, management, systems • Tables do data, documentation, compiled work, team • Done in electronic shell to show, assess best practices

7. CIFSNR, IFSNQSTT Foundations …… Consortium for Innovative Food Science and Nutrition Research Institute of Food Science and Nutrition, Quality Systems, and Technology Transfer Mission………committed to development and application of original research opportunities in food and nutrition through collaborative efforts and technology transfer between Bowling Green State University; local, regional, state, and national businesses and organizations; and industries. Initiated as CIFSNR about two years ago, evolving as IFSNQSTT with expanded base of support on and off campus, including Quality Systems as important element.

8. CIFSNR, IFSNQSTT Foundations …… Collaborative Outreach, Applied Research • Food Companies • National Food Safety Bodies • State Funding Programs • Collaborative opportunities, • other Centers, Institutes • Research • Teaching • Service INDUSTRY • Food Science & Technology • Quality Systems • Food Safety & Security • Food Process Engineering • Nutrition • Nutraceuticals • Functional Foods • Biomass, Energy Conversion GOVERNMENT IFSNQSTT UNIVERSITY

9. CIFSNR, IFSNQSTT Foundations …… Federal Government: USDA, NSF, FDA, NIH, HHS • Other Institutions: • University of Toledo (Engineering, • Molecular Biology, Pharmacy, etc.) • Medical College of Ohio, MCO • Wayne State University • Owens Community College • The Ohio State University (Food • Science, Ag/Food Engineering) Regional Food Industry Organizations: • CIFT • MAFMA • MAFPA • AIF • IFT IFSNQSTT Institute of Food Science and Nutrition, Quality Systems, and Technology Transfer BGSU BGSU Intra-Collaboration: • Colleges of: Seed Institute: F&N Faculty, Hirzel CC, TECH and AIF • Education and Human D. • Arts and Sciences • Health and Human Serv. • Business • Technology • Continuing Education • Academic Programs: • BS Food Science • MS Food Science & Tech • Ph.D. Interdisciplinary FSHN Food Industries Centers for Inter- and Intra-collaborative studies: • Hirzel Canning Company • Nestle • Nabisco • Heinz • Con-Agra/Hunt’s • Fremont Co. • Start-up and small companies • etc. • Center of Photochemical Sciences (BGSU) • Center for Biomolecular Sciences (BGSU) • Center for Material Sciences (BGSU) • CAPPS (Inter) • CIFT (Inter) • etc. State Government Initiatives: Third Frontier, BioPharming, Value-added Agricultural Production

10. Food Quality Safety And Security Management System (FQSSMS) • FQSSMS grew out of CIFSNR, IFSNQSTT foundations • Scope is to apply quality system tools, as defined in ISO 9000 and related standards, to food industry • Collaboration of QS students, faculty and Hirzel Canning Company, begun spring, 2004 • Developing model system for transfer, validation • Teams of graduate and undergraduate students organized as FQSSMS baselines, improvement opportunities • QS 326, 426, 427, 527, 626, 702 • Preliminary analyses done last spring, summer, evolving

11. Food Quality Safety And Security Management System (FQSSMS) • FQSSMS work at Hirzel continues • Currently one undergraduate student doing Hirzel co-op, fundamental documentation oriented toward FQSSMS • Striving to have doctoral fellow in place, to begin review of literature, engage in broader research • Drafted a proposal for consideration, to place in review process this fall, for spring approval • Proposed request is to bring preliminary FQSSMS model to level appropriate for federal funding consideration • Continue research, development, transfer, validate

12. OQLC, FQSSMS, IFSNQSTT Opportunities And Challenges Many challenges and opportunities remain………… • Determining appropriate curriculum to grow relationships • Blended Food Science, Quality Systems • Graduate and undergraduate levels, still in tentative stages • Growing infrastructure for OQLC • Communicating ideas, soliciting advisory committee • Seeking startup funds, initial grants via IFSNQSTT • Doing prototypical projects, FQSSMS, co-op’s • Economic development • Applied research • Innovative education and training
