Duncan Aviation Team Members Earn Internationally Recognized Certification

Duncan Aviation announced that three of its team members have successfully completed the requirements to earn the American Society for Quality – Certified Calibration Technician (ASQ-CCT) designation. The ASQ-CCT is given to individuals who have at least five years of calibrations work experience and demonstrate an understanding of, and commitment to, quality practices in the field of calibrations.

In December of 2014, James Hood, quality manager; Todd Lieske, technical manager; and Dale Nitzel, master technician, passed the rigorous three-hour ASQ certification exam testing them on their proficiency in and comprehension of calibration principles and practices.

The Duncan Aviation calibrations lab is audited annually to ensure the proper procedures, equipment and employee knowledge is maintained at the highest level of quality standards. Having team members with the ASQ-CCT designation demonstrates that technical competency.

The ASQ is a global community of professionals that share tools, ideas, and expertise in the pursuit of quality improvements. The ASQ-CCT is a formal peer recognition demonstrating proficiency and comprehension in the field of calibrations. Currently there are five certified calibrations technicians in the ASQ-Nebraska chapter. Three of them are employed at Duncan Aviation.
