Armand Feigenbaum- Laying the foundations of modern quality control

The name Armand V. Feigenbaum and the term "total quality control" are virtually synonymous. In 1986, when the ASQ board of directors elected Feigenbaum an Honorary member, it acknowledged a career of more than 35 years in the quality field. During that career, the precepts of total quality control were carefully laid out and tirelessly promulgated in the United States and around the world.
Feigenbaum's ideas are contained in his now famous book Total Quality Control, first published in 1951 under the title Quality Control: Principles, Practice, and Administration, and based on his earlier articles and program installations in the field. The book has been translated into more than a score of languages, including Japanese, Chinese, French, and Spanish.
