9TH PQA CYCLE CONCLUDED

The 9th PQA Forum was held last 09 March 2007 at the Garden Ballroom, EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City as the 9th PQA Cycle's culminating activity.

The Center for Industrial Competitiveness of the Department of Trade and Industry, in cooperation with the PQA Foundation, Inc. and the PQA Award Administrators, successfully conducted the Forum to conclude the 9th cycle of the PQA and invite organizations to join the bandwagon and adopt the PQA Criteria for performance excellence as the 10th cycle of the PQA opens. Attended by nearly 200 participants from various organizations in both public and private sectors, the Forum has once again, provided the venue for the most recent PQA recipients to inspire and foster organizational excellence among our local companies and government organizations.

The 2006 PQA recipients led by First Sumiden Circuits, Inc. (FSCI), recipient of the PQA Recognition for Mastery in Quality Management, showcased their exceptional performance practices together with the recipients of PQA Recognition for Commitment to Quality Management, Johnson & Johnson (Philippines), Inc. and National Transmission Corporation (Transco). These role model organizations, like previous PQA recipients in manufacturing, service, education, and public sector have shared their journeys to excellence with the nation.
