ABOUT ANQ
Asia has emerged as the plant of the world. The quality of products and services produced in Asia have evolved outstandingly and go beyond the quality standards of the world.
ANQ has been established in order to promote the rapid evolution of Asia's own quality management. It is founded on Asian values like harmony in diversity, constancy of purpose and austerity. ANQ has been formed through the vision of its chairperson, Prof. Noriaki Kano, and has membership from 12 countries including Japan, China and Korea.
Welcome
Asia is an old continent with a new economy, based on the dynamism evident over the last ten years. It is home to more than half the population of the world. There are many regions and segments of the economy that have not been able to keep pace. It is therefore important to exchange ideas and experiences among all quality-related professionals, researchers, practitioners and students, so that all sections of society and segments of economy get the required importance for uniform and accelerated growth. ANQ provides a platform to share, learn and widely spread this knowledge. The 2nd ANQ Congress and the 18th Asia Quality Symposium being held at New Delhi will provide an excellent networking opportunity to all the participants to work for the prosperity of Asia.
