Sammer Technologies Employees Receive ASQ-Certified Quality Inspector

Milwaukee, WI, October 27, 2008 — The Certification Board of the American Society for Quality is pleased to announce that Patrick Tang, Mike Giglio and Nishant Patel have completed the requirements to be named an ASQ-Certified Quality Inspectors (ASQ CQI). As such, Patrick Tang, Mike Giglio and Nishant Patel have reached a significant level of professional recognition, indicating a proficiency in and a comprehension of quality inspection tools and techniques. Individuals who earn this certification are allowed to use “ASQ CQI” 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 Roberto Saco, President, American Society for Quality. “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 CQI examination, an inspector must have two years of on-the-job experience in quality inspection or a related field. Successful candidates for the certification are expected to be able to apply geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) techniques, read blueprints and other design schematics, evaluate products in relation to their specifications, and perform various procedures related to inspecting products and measuring process performance.

Since 1968, when the first ASQ certification examination was given, more than 160,000 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.
