N2  - "The American Society for Quality (ASQ) monitors news items reported in the press. What types of stories to we find? Food safety and toy recalls, health care, the automotive industry, and various product glitches dominate. Indeed, quality—or lack of quality—is a vital issue in everyone's life. That's why this book is relevant and important for today's students and future business leaders, as well as those already in the work-force. Understanding the principles of quality and performance excellence is absolutely essential for new graduates to succeed in today's high competitive business world. 

It is difficult for students to learn about these principles on their own, because there are so many different approaches to the topic. Although these approaches are similar, each has its own jargon and acronyms, which makes trying to penetrate the subject for the first time a difficult experience. Furthermore, most books about quality are not written with the needs and experiences of students in mind." --Preface
