Resource: Baldrige Resource Library Available
In the middle of last year, the Baldrige Performance Excellence website launched a Baldrige Resource Library, containing over 1,000 articles and videos on organizational improvement, quality tools, and all aspects of the Baldrige criteria. ASQ was a major resource contributor and partner in launching this service.
This is another resource available for quality professionals, and we at ASQ 0502 wanted to make sure our members were aware of it.
