About ASQ San Diego – Section 703
History:
ASQ traces its beginnings to the end of World War II, as quality experts and manufacturers sought ways to sustain the many quality-improvement techniques used during wartime. ASQ has played a crucial role in upholding these standards from the past while, at the same time, championing continued innovation in the field of quality.
By the end of the 1970s, the principles of quality had greatly influenced manufacturing and other industrial processes, by
focusing attention on how products and services could define and meet technical specifications. An overwhelming number of
businesses typically established a quality-control department, to ensure specifications were met.

ASQ's mission is to facilitate continuous improvement and increased customer satisfaction by identifying, communicating, and
promoting the use of quality principles, concepts, technology; and thereby become recognized throughout the world as the
