Establishment of open network system for information exchange on quality management and quality control

We are in the Internet-era. We can get various information through Internet, today. The Quality Control Forum (FQC) have been operated on NIFTY-Serve, which is one of the largest network-providers in Japan, since 1988. It was early year of the network era on Japan. AU activity of FQC is member's voluntary. FQC's main theme has been Quality Management and Quality Control. Many members in various business fields make information exchange from wide range of viewpoint on the network. Information obtained through FQC has been very useful for member people to perform their work and to promote quality activity in their organization. There are even some members who deployed such information on organization's own local network. We will discuss about FQC's activity, and remaining task to develop procedures to make use of mass-storage information.
