Quality Control Manager

[dalea60]

Have a new person moving into the QC Manager position for our in-house Section VIII Div 1 code shop. The person has no experience in this area. What tools, classes or other learning methods are available for him? Anyone know of some good sources? Is there something that would help define what the position should entail?

Thanks,
Dale

Code West produces some fine courses on ASME VIII and IX.

If your in Canada (alberta mostly) CASTI offers alot of great courses.

Go to asme.org. ASME has many great Code training classes for a decent price.

dalea60,
Suggest you should be asking yourself whether the person is the right one seleceted for the exhalted position in the Company if he does not have experience/competency in your Companies area of engineering.

Thanks for the help. I'd looked through the ASME courses but didn't see anything specifically for QC. There are a couple of courses that I've recommended that he attend.

I hadn't thought about the National Board.

What is Code West?

It's not up to me or the person moving into the position about who should be in the position.

Thanks,
Dale

scary; you need someone some how with experience, what you have is a a trainee who wishes or you wish the trainee will do the job but he/she will get you in trouble and possible kill a few.
just my thinking, don't take it personal,

Sounds like Neposism to me.

msquared48,
You could be right!! Either Nepotism or must be a member of the right "lodge".
