    Revision History...

    mustangod, Color me confused then 'cause I thought I addressed the original question. I was a Configuration Manager for several years, now I'm back in Quality (I always return to QE).

    Revision History...

    Check out: Mil-Std-973 ANSI/EIA-649 ISO10007 I have worked on programs where drawings were released skipping a rev letter - but it was only when there was an error on an engineering change or when a developmental drawing had changes with hardware in existance (hardware was bult with redlined...

I told my boss that I had made a...

    Incoming QC on screws

    A sample of 3? For what lot size? Mil-Std-105E was cancelled as part of the Perry Initiative (paperwork reduction & getting rid of military standards in favor of industry standards - another of those bright ideas by Congress - we still get contracts referencing MIL-Q-9858 or MIL-I-45208 even...

    Test Sheet For Anti Static Flooring

    Are you going to record attributes (pass/fail) or variables (value measurements) data results? Unless I had a specific requirement for one or the other, I would probably modify an existing form such as the one for testing ESD straps, assign it a new form number for revision control & get it...

    Products that prick your conscience

    Just to be contrary, what if you also told Orville & Wilbur that the same machine could deliver medical supplies that could save a nation or an organ to a transplant patient (or vice-versa)? Or they could keep simply making bikes...Which one would you have chosen? Is there any invention in...

    Are We, As Engineers, Willing to Admit Mistakes?

    Didn't a famous inventor once say something the effect of he didn't have invention failures, he merely ruled out stuff that didn't work? I'm someone here has the exact quote but I'm too tired to look it up after a 15 hour day today. Sometimes "mistakes" end up being a good thing -...

    Are We, As Engineers, Willing to Admit Mistakes?

    I can admit I made a mistake & I'll clean up my messes - of course, I prefer to clean them up quietly. BTW, if anyone here ever tells my hubby I admitted to making a mistake - I'll deny it. [noevil]

    Career suggestions for stagnating ME in Alaska

    monique, if you just graduated a few years ago, I'll make an assumption (perhaps erroneous, but what the hay, I'll make the WAG anyway!) that you are fairly young & haven't started a family yet. Check out roadwhore.com if you have relatively few ties & think you might be interested in working...

    Should I move?

    ctopher, I have a sister in LA & several siblings in San Jose. I lived in SJ one year & couldn't wait to get back to Texas. If you want four seasons, you don't want DFW. We have two seasons in Texas: summer & February. If you are used to CA traffic & smog, driving DFW will seem like a clean...
