Upon graduation, she joined the fast-paced U.S. semiconductor MNC Texas Instruments S’pore (TIS) - the first company to win the Singapore Quality Award (SQA) - where she was to receive intensive and extensive training in Quality Management, both locally as well as overseas. One of her most significant contributions was strategizing the entire Statistical Process Control movement, a KEY competitive initiative, as the Plant’s SPC Program Manager. In this role, she trained the engineers and served as an Internal Statistical Consultant to the community of over 100 engineers in the 3000-strong factory. Rising rapidly up the managerial ranks, she held several key Management positions, both in Operations as well in Quality. She was the Total Quality Culture (TQC) Manager when she left in 1990, to set up TQM Consultancy (www.tqmconsultancy.com). Since then, she has dedicated her time to assist industry in their quest for Quality supremacy through the application of 6-sigma and other Award-winning Quality methodologies - Policy Deployment (Hoshin Planning) & Daily Management, Productivity drivers, QC 7 Tools, PDCA Problem-solving, SPC, Design of Experiments and FMEA. Yes, Chor Hoong was conducting training in these foundation disciplines of 6-sigma, well BEFORE they were packaged into 6-sigma. Hence, for 2 decades, Chor Hoong has helped many big MNCs attain quantum leaps in quality improvement and cost reduction … she can proudly count II-VI Sgp, HP, Agilent Technologies, Apple, Compaq, Matsushita, NEC, Philips, SONY, Sumitomo Bakelite, STMicroelectronics, STATS, Hitachi Nippon Steel, SSMC, Nippon Paint, Amtek Engineering, Murata Electronics, Becton Dickinson and AlliedSignal Aerospace amongst her customers … Her U.S. training in the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award framework and therefore also in the Singapore Quality Award criteria, positions her well to assist companies in their quest for this most coveted and prestigious Award! Chor Hoong’s strength in her work with industry lies in her skilful ability to incorporate, interweave and synergize the various quality disciplines, hard skills and soft skills (mindset changes) tactical and strategic, to achieve the required high-level objectives … Harnessing this strength, Chor Hoong has done some significant pioneering work here in Business Process Reengineering, one of her fortes, having consulted with Ascendas, Apple, Compaq, HP, Mt Elizabeth and East Shore Hospitals, HDB and PSA. Her appointments by James Cook University (JCU), Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and Nottingham Trent University to deliver the Total Quality modules for their respective Master Degree Programs, are definitely endorsements and recognition of her expertise in the Quality disciplines. From 2008 through 2012, she was also engaged by UniSIM for its adult undergrad programs, where she taught TQM, Quantitative Methods and Business Statistics. haring her extensive experience on the subject with industry, she published her first book, The 8 Habits of Quality People, in 2004. This publication is NOT in any way associated with the famed “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey, nor with Franklin Covey Co. The book is foreworded by the distinguished Dr Ahmad Magad, ex-MP for Punggol – Pasir Ris GRC. The bilingual writer has since published two other books: 8 Romances and 网球场上的恋情.
