Joint Meeting - ASQ and SNAME
A message
to SNAME members from Doron Zilbershtein, Chair, Southeast Section
Waiting
for the Right Q –
Charting a New Course for Quality in the Maritime Industry
We are happy to announce
a new initiative that aims to establish a unique relationship between two well-known
societies, in their own industries: The American Society for Quality (ASQ) and
the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME).
The initiative was conceived
in light of an identified need in the marine industry to enhance the knowledge
in the field of Quality, as well as part of ASQ’s section 1510 to expand
its scope of services into the maritime industry, a sector that is currently
underserved by this organization.
The initiative will start
with a pilot program at the section level and will be led by a team consisting
of members representing both societies. Click here
for more.
