As such, Amand Page has reached a significant level of professional recognition, indicating a proficiency in and a comprehension of quality auditing tools and techniques. Individuals who earn this certification are allowed to use “ASQ CQA” on their business cards and professional correspondence.
“ASQ provides certification as a way to provide formal recognition to professionals who have demonstrated an understanding of, and a commitment to, quality techniques and practices in their job and career,” explains Peter Andres, ASQ president. “This is a great accomplishment and, although not a formal registration or licensure, it represents a high level of peer recognition.”
In order to sit for the CQA examination, an individual must have eight years of on-the-job experience in one or more of the areas of the CQA body of knowledge, and three of those years must be in a decision-making position. CQAs apply a variety of auditing techniques in examining and evaluating products, processes, and quality systems against specific standards. CQAs also plan, develop, communicate, and execute an audit within a defined scope, applying management skills to teams and projects, use appropriate tools and methodologies to verify, document, and communicate audit results, and evaluate the effectiveness of corrective actions.
Since 1968, when the first ASQ certification examination was given, more than 163,000 individuals have taken the path to reaching their goal of becoming ASQ-Certified in their field or profession, including many of who have attained more than one designation.

Learning About Drug Product Distribution
Emily Hough, PDA
Being at PDA for a little more than two years has given me multiple opportunities to learn about the challenges in production and delivery of drug products. But, when I was told there was another occasion to discover even more about the complexities of drug product transport and storage, I jumped at the chance and signed up for the PDA New England (NEPDA) Chapter event.
The meeting featured a facility tour of Masy Systems, Inc. and a dinner meeting with two speakers on the topic of shipping logistics. Masy provides validation and calibration services and controlled storage for biopharmaceuticals, pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
