What do you see in the future for the Quality profession?
The traditional quality practitioner will go away as Operations reabsorbs
the product quality measurement and management functions. The individual
leading the quality assurance program today will find him/herself
implementing the same tools and techniques in non-production areas of the
company from Finance/Accounting to Human Relations.
What have you found most rewarding as a member of ASQ and why?
The interaction and networking with other quality professionals and learning
from those who have already "been there and done that."
