Why Quality In Manufacturing?

Thanks to globalization and rapid advances in technology, today’s manufacturing environment is increasingly competitive. Manufacturers need to stay focused on finding new ways to design, produce, sell and deliver products. Look for information targeted to medical devices, food safety, pharma, lean, and supplier quality.

ASQ helps organizations by:

• Providing business solutions to improve bottom-line results.
• Improving operational processes.
• Identifying problems and solutions quickly and systematically.
• Reducing waste and cycle time.
• Equipping companies with effective supply chain management methods.

Free "Real World of Engineering" Webinar for Kids and Parents

A projected shortage of 70,000 engineers by 2010 is troubling enough. Pair that with a new ASQ/Harris Interactive survey that shows 85% of kids don’t want to enter the engineering field, and this creates a big problem for manufacturers. In an effort to change this career trend, ASQ created a webinar to show kids and parents what you can do as an engineer. It's cooler than you know! Watch it now!
