Australian Organisation
for Quality (AOQ) is a not for profit national body
with incorporated bodies in each State. It was formed
in 1968 and pioneered efforts to gain acceptance of
quality within Australian Industry as a pre-requisite
for international competitiveness. The primary means
was to initiate Quality Management training and
education and to provide a forum for quality
practitioners.
QUALCON®
is the annual National Conference of AOQ Inc. It
assembles speakers of the highest calibre from Australia
and throughout the world. Members have the opportunity
to learn from the very best about the latest
developments in quality practice while sharing and
learning from the experience of like minded people. The
conference will focus on practical and hands on
experience with topics including Innovation, Total
Quality Management, Business Excellence, Community
Sectors, Best Practice, Governance and the quality
principles.
The theme
for the conference is
"Winning in the global economy through collaboration,
innovation and excellence".
Qualcon 2011
will run from
16 - 19
October 2011
and
is an exciting opportunity for all Australians and our
neighbours in the Asia Pacific region. It will bring
large numbers of delegates to this State due to our
reputation as holding the best Qualcon Conferences,
particularly resulting from the last Adelaide Qualcon in
2008. We will be maintaining the South Australian
reputation for event excellence
This year,
AOQ is conducting a Teams in Excellence Awards process
to recognise the people, teams and organisations who
implement Continual Improvement strategies like Kaizen,
Quality Circles, Lean, Corrective and Preventive
Actions, Product and Process Risk Reduction, Theory of
Constraints, BPR, Process Mapping, TPM and Six Sigma™.
It is based on a number of world-wide recognised Teams
Awards from Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Europe and USA
from whom the ASQ which AQO is associated, has been used
to design the Australian Teams in Excellence Awards
Criteria.
This event
supports the primary education and training activities
of AOQ and is designed to be attractive to Members and
Non-members alike to ensure maximum community benefit
from participation. The conference promises to provide
an exciting and valuable three days to all quality and
business professionals. The conference will include a
conference dinner which will be combined with the AOQ
Juran and Shilkin awards presentations for personal
recognition.
