What is the Quality Alliance?
Quality Alliance
Who we are:
The MPQA Quality Alliance was established in 2017 to support the growth of the photonics and quantum industries of Montana, as well as those organizations supporting these industries. Through the development and implementation of Quality principles and methods, Montana-based companies can achieve superior products and services that differentiate themselves. The Quality Alliance supports these efforts through regular presentations and discussions, as well as a growing library of training materials and tools for improving quality.
As a group, we include company owners, consultants, managers, engineers, and other quality specialists. Together we have many decades of experience and are proud of helping each other and local industries attain better quality.
Our Vision:
We envision Montana as a recognized world leader in the photonics industry.
Our Values:
We are a collaborative and open network, committed to learning, with a bias for action and measurable outcomes. We respect the confidentiality of participating members and their employers.
Membership:
We welcome any person or organization interested in the development and implementation of Quality Processes and willing to share knowledge. To contact us email: quality@mpqa.org
Excellent Quality Processes lead to stellar industry reputation, growth in sales, reduced costs, and more… Imagine a calm workday. There are no fires to put out. You can focus on design or strategic planning.
