"Profitability is the Key to Value. If You've Got it, Flaunt It. If You Don't Have It, Get It (business strategy). If You Can't Get It, Get Out (capital strategy)."

--- Bill Fruhan, Professor of Finance, Harvard Business School, author of: Financial Strategy: Studies in the Creation, Transfer, and Destruction of Shareholder Value.

American Society for Quality                                                                                                  http://www.asq.org/                                                                                     

The American Society for Quality (ASQ) has been the leading quality improvement organization in the United States for more than 50 years. Its members have initiated most of the quality methods used throughout the world, including statistical process control, quality cost measurement and control, total quality management, failure analysis, and zero defects. ASQ was incorporated as the American Society for Quality Control in 1946 as the result of the merger of several local quality societies that had formed after wartime statistical quality control classes. The classes were held to improve and maintain the quality of defense materials during World War II. To meet the needs of a changing marketplace, the organization changed its name to the American Society for Quality in 1997
