Che
Congratulations. This is after the fact, but:
What a beautiful day
and
Such a nice story
The modifier "a" is necessary in both phrases.

I just can't understand
sometimes people use such a ..... what a ..... quite a..
and sometimes these words without a
so I can't understand when I have to use -a and when don't have to...

Nope, I’m not much into soccer, I’m afraid, and what’s more, I’m a complete ignoramus where this sport is concerned. I occasionally try to let myself into the mood of the game when there’s an international encounter on TV, but it just doesn't spark a passion in me – I can’t remember having ever watched a whole match. |

Hi Che
You must omit "a" only in case when a noun is plural or non-countable as in:
Ex.What beautiful pictures!
Ex.These are such interesting books!
Ex.Did you ever see such weather? |

In addition (to add to your knowledge of corporate buzzwords -- look these up online):
TQM = Total Quality Management
---------
Process flowchart = A "map" of colored arrows/triangles used to visually show the steps in a process.
Example: Process for making a peanut butter & jelly sandwich:
Get out the bread --> open the bread package --> take out two slices of the bread --> get out a knife --> etc.
---------
Queue = waiting line (or a process by which people are kept in line/waiting). Pronounced "Q" (the letter).
CQI = Continuous Quality Improvement (same, really, as TQM)
Marginal Cost = the cost of producing one more product
Marginal Revenue = the revenue from selling one more product
Marginal Profit = MR - MC
the big accounting equation:
Assets = Liabilities + Owners' Equity (A = L + OE)
