As interest in QFD continues to grows in North America, Europe, Asia, and the Pacific Rim, the need to share ideas and experiences is more critical than ever. The Symposium has become an ideal opportunity for presenters and participants alike to exchange thoughts with individuals from industries and locations they would not ordinarily be exposed to. Projects need not be completed to the final stage; interim successes can be just as valuable to others facing similar situations. What excites attendees most are: *success stories *applications of QFD in new industries *advanced applications (beyond the first matrix) *unique problems and solutions *new or supporting techniques. Interested participants should submit their name, company, address, phone, fax, and E mail along with a 100-word abstract of their topic and conclusions along with a biography and full contact information of the principal author to: Glenn Mazur QFD Institute 1140 Morehead Court Ann Arbor, MI 48103 USA Telephone: +1 (313) 995-0847 Fax: +1 (313) 995-3810 E Mail: QFDI@qfdi.org Our Transactions have been voted the highest in terms of performance and importance to participants, so the following deadlines are critical to all presentations being included. *Abstract Deadline: JANUARY 31, 1996 *Acceptance Notification: February 19, 1996 *Initial Draft Due (required): April 1, 1996 *Final Paper Due: May 1, 1996 ========================================================================= Glenn Mazur Executive Director,QFD Institute 1140 Morehead Ct.
