ASQ Central Arkansas Section Earns Top Honors
The
Central Arkansas Section
of
ASQ—the
world’s largest network of quality resources and experts—has
earned the 2009-10 Quality Management Process
Gold Excellence
Award,
one of the highest honors a Section can earn in the Society. Only 25
of 251 ASQ Sections and 3 of 22 ASQ Divisions earned this award for
the 2009-10 year.
The Central Arkansas Section will be honored at ASQ’s 65th World Conference on Quality and Improvement May 14, 2011 in Pittsburgh, Pa. Members of the ASQ Board of Directors will present the award to the Section.
The Quality Management Process (QMP) Gold Excellence Award is awarded to Sections/Divisions that have proven their commitment and ability to serving local ASQ members and the community. QMP is a management model and planning tool that assists Sections/Divisions in their planning and implementation of programs and services that will meet the needs of current and future ASQ members. The model is based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle of continuous improvement and is proven to aid the Sections/Divisions in delivering superior value to their members.
In order to earn the Gold Excellence Award, Sections/Divisions must meet certain criteria which include creating a business plan and budget. The Section must then achieve ASQ’s objectives in member retention, loyalty and satisfaction.
