Energy leader:
Quality the key
By MICHAEL CRAWFORD
Reporter
Managers of the future must
learn to deal with the increased ag
gressiveness of foreign businesses,
said Thomas Murrin, president of
the Energy and Advanced Technol
ogy Group of Westinghouse.
Murrin spoke to a management
class Friday.
“We must find ways to pool our
talents and energies throughout our
country in order to ward off the
challenges of world competition that
threatens our well-being as individ
ual businesses, as industries and in
deed as a strong and tree nation,”
Murrin said.
“For generations, Americans have
taken for granted that our country
enjoys a kind of divine dispensation
or immunity from many of the prob
lems and major failures which have
af flicted other nations,” Murrin said.
“As we entered the decade of the
eighties, we found our country
poised on the brink of a major in
dustrial and economic crisis.”
This crisis was partly due to the
low emphasis on quality control and
research and development funds, he
said.
Quality is the keystone to produc
tivity improvement, market penetra
tion, customer satisfaction and even
tual profitability, he said.
“The United States can no longer
pretend to be an economic island,”
lie said. “We have seen how a crisis
in the Middle Fast can create finan-
now compete with Americanim|«
try perfectly, including our In
market in the United States."
Murrin s.iid a strong defense^
provides certain benefits to tkoj
ian population. “We have m
throughout our history nowtedi
logical advances in the defenses}
tor have led to significant spit^
benefits for our commercialsedj;
he said.
Murrin said if the UnitedSiaiej

Murrin said this type of a
don would increase the flexibii

"It lias taken Americanindm
long time to understand the si
cance of real quality, produi

strategies,” he said.
American quality was once

“When we go on tour, the local

everyone plans for us and they treat
us like kings.”
Each year during the Christmas

Fe train hurtled into a train hauling
freight in pre-dawn darkness Sun
day south of Fort Worth, killing a
brakeman and seriously injuring the
Santa Fe engineer.
The collision involved more than
a hundred cars, some tankers, but
authorities said there was no appar
ent danger of chemical spillage or
ofe
threat of evacuation.
“Although there were some
tanker cars on board,” said Larry
Todd, spokesman for the Depart
ment of Public Safety. “They were
checked, and it was determined that
there was no threat to the public.
They were hauling some sort of a vi-

He said the train broadsided the
other at a railroad crossing, hut in
vestigators had not determined why
the collision took place.
“We have a big pileup,” said Tom
