Overview: This article is a case of Jerry Blawat who thought that firing fires was hard work, until he took over the quality department. During his first 10 years in this capacity, Blawat served as a pilot for the Air Operations Division of Aero Union Corp., a leading company in the aerial firefighting industry. Later he took the charge of quality department. Quality management in a highly regulated industry presents scores of unique challenges, the most obvious and formidable of which is simply the scope and number of those regulations. In addition to the document control, procedure writing, process control, inspection and testing, and tooling responsibilities common to any quality manager in manufacturing, Blawat must also juggle FAA regulatory compliance, compliance to military standards MIL-I- 45208 and MIL-Q-9858A when building a system for a foreign government, and U.S. State Department export regulations for selling defense-sensitive products overseas.
