2006 Joint Research Conference on Statistics in Quality, Industry and Technology

Conference Mission

The mission of the Quality and Productivity Research Conference is to improve the quality of products and services and the productivity of industries by stimulating the research and development of better statistical methods, and to identify new application areas where statistics can have a significant impact.

The conference emphasizes research and development of statistical an management methods driven by important applications and includes topics such as case studies, communication, and management.  The primary customers are industrial, quality and healthcare-related statisticians; academicians interest in quality improvement and related applications; quality professionals and quality managers; and statistics, management, and engineering students.  The conference is sponsored by the Quality and Productivity Section of the American Statistical Association.

The purpose of the Spring Research Conference on Statistics in Industry and Technology is to promote research in statistical methods that address problems in industry and technology. This focus is to be interpreted broadly to cover a wide range of application areas including manufacturing and information sciences. The conference is intended to stimulate interactions among statisticians, researchers in the application areas, and industrial practitioners. It will provide a forum where participants can describe current research, identify important problems and areas of application, and formulate future research directions.

An agreement has been made between the Quality and Productivity Research Conference, sponsored by the Quality and Productivity Section of ASA, and the Spring Research Conference, sponsored by the Physical and Engineering Sciences Section of ASA, to hold joint conferences every 3-5 years.
