What is ASQ?

ASQ is a society of individual and organizational members dedicated to the ongoing development, advancement, and promotion of quality concepts, principles, and techniques. ASQ has products, services, and—most of all—information to help people in all walks of life grapple with perplexing issues like total quality management, benchmarking, productivity, and more.

ASQ was founded in 1946 with the merger of several local quality societies scattered across the United States. Since then, ASQ has grown to more than 104,000 members worldwide. Most of the quality methods now used throughout the world—including statistical process control, quality cost measurement and control, total quality management, and zero defects—were initiated by ASQ members. By ordering your quality resources from ASQ, you are selecting materials from the creators and authors of the theories and tools.
