• Metrology Handbook
  MQD in cooperation with ASQ's Quality Press is sponsoring a Metrology Handbook. This Handbook is intended to provide:

  1. General information that applies to metrology regardless of discipline
  2. Key information and data to review for some metrology disciplines that the reader may be ""stale"" in, and
  3. A source of information that helps point to what metrology knowledge is needed for a discipline the reader knows little or nothing about.
     The Metrology Handbook is scheduled for release April 2004

The Measurement Quality Division (MQD) supports, assists and guides ASQ members and others in the measurement field in the application of both established and innovative tools of measurement and quality. The goal is to improve measurement-based decisions in laboratory, calibration, manufacturing, and management processes at all levels of accuracy.

The MQD supports standards development, disseminates measurement and quality-related information, offers technical support, provides education, sponsors research, fosters professional interaction in the measurement of quality and the quality of measurement, and emphasizes the importance of measurements in the quality proces.
