2013 ASQ World Conference on Quality and Improvement

I will be speaking at 9:15-10:15am on May 7 on behalf of the Institute for Continual Quality Improvement (ICQI).  This is one of several ICQI sessions that are being held jointly with the 2013 ASQ World Conference on Quality and Improvement and are sponsored by ASQ's Quality Management and Statistics Divisions.  The title of my talk is "Acceptance Sampling:  Facts & Fantasies".  

The 2013 theme to the conference is "Managing Change to Improve Quality and Performance".  According to the conference brochure:

"The accessibility, volume, and variety of information that is available today far exceeds that of any other time in history.  This fact, coupled with the ever-increasing influence of the global marketplace, has brought about many changes to today's businesses.  It has changed how we work, increased the number of places where we're able to work, and expanded the number of people we're able to work with.  This evolution has changed the dynamic between businesses and their customers, increased the amount of work we are able to do, and created new opportunities and new challenges.

Change is ever-present, unpredictable, and occurring at an ever-increasing pace.  In the face of this change, the 2013 World Conference on Quality and Improvement offers both respite and guidance in the navigation of today's changing world.  The conference offers a forum of ideas and an international network of thought leaders, experts, and peers eager to share the proven results achieved through quality.  ASQ invites you to share in its efforts to demonstrate the impact that quality can have on our ability to navigate today's changing world."
