Juran Award
Joseph M Juran
Joseph M Juran was deeply involved in management and particularly the management of quality.
The purpose of this award is to recognise persons who have contributed in an outstanding way to the application of effective quality management in Australia.
Joseph M Juran was deeply involved in management and particularly the management of quality, before a lot of us knew what quality was. He became closely involved with the Australian Organisation for Quality back in AOQ’s formative years when it was known as the Australian Organisation for Quality Control in the late 1960’s. Dr Juran made several visits to Australia, running successful seminars under the banner of AOQC. Through this and other means he made an outstanding contribution to the development of AOQC and the stimulation of many Australian organisations to come to grips with what Quality really means and how to achieve it.
You can see, therefore, that the application of Joseph Juran’s name to this award provides a yardstick against which can be measured truly outstanding efforts in quality management. On the one hand, those who achieve this award deserve it. On the other hand, they are honoured by being associated in this way with the name Juran.

Shilkin Award
Joe Shilkin
Joe Shilkin was one of the pioneers of the Australian Organisation for Quality in Victoria.
Joe Shilkin was one of the pioneers of the Australian Organisation for Quality in Victoria. He wrote and lectured about quality. For example, he was one of the lecturers for the inaugural Graduate Diploma in Quality at RMIT in 1977, when RMIT was still an IT and not a University. (Institute of Technology, not Information Technology.)
It is therefore quite appropriate that this award is named after Joe, as its two-fold purpose is:
To recognise persons who have made a notable contribution to Australian quality practice through publication of an original paper on quality or related topics.
To encourage AOQ member’s careers in quality, to develop their written communications skills and to disseminate their knowledge of quality technology for the benefit of others.
