SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ASQ, the American Society for Quality will present an intensive two-day training on Integrated Quality Management at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City, June 10-11, 2015. The workshop will familiarize participants with the latest tools and techniques for monitoring and managing best practices in the workplace, and will assist attendees in developing a draft action plan to apply to their operations. The ASQ presentations will be held in conjunction with UBM Canon at their East Coast trade shows taking place at the same venue, June 9-11. The co-located exhibition and conference includes MD&M East, Atlantic Design & Manufacturing, EastPack, ATX East, PLASTEC East, HBA Global, and Quality Expo. In addition, running for two days, June 9-10, is Pharmapack North America.

The ASQ presentations will be held in conjunction with UBM Canon at their East Coast trade shows taking place at the same venue, June 9-11.

These quality management trainings in New York come after a successful ASQ workshop held earlier this year at UBM Canon's large West event in Anaheim, California in February. In addition, another two-day ASQ workshop will take place in conjunction with the UBM Canon trade event in Toronto, Ontario, June 16-18, a week after the New York event. Those who complete any of these two-day courses will receive 1.40 CEUs (Continuing Education Units).

"Our audience is eager to continue trainings with ASQ. Quality is a huge interest area for all our engineers, not just those with 'quality' in their title," said Pamela L. Moore, SVP, Content & Strategy, UBM Canon.

ASQ, as an organization that calls itself the global voice for quality, promotes quality broadly across all industries.

"Partnering with UBM Canon just makes sense for ASQ as quality is a vital aspect of the manufacturing industry," added Annemieke Hytinen, PMP, CMQ/OE Manager, Manufacturing Market & Business Development Manager, ASQ. "ASQ is the leading authority on quality in all fields, organizations and industries."

One-day ASQ quality workshops will be offered at the UBM Canon trade events May 6-7, 2015 in Boston, October 13-14, 2015 in Houston, and November 18-19, 2015 in Orlando.
