We invite you to submit papers for presentation to the 49th Fall Technical Conference. The Fall Technical Conference has long been a forum for both statistics and quality. The goal of this conference is to engage researchers and practitioners in a dialogue that leads to more effective use of statistics to improve quality.
Achieving higher quality levels is a requirement in today’s dynamic global economy. Successful organizations deliver quality products and/or services. These organizations must focus not only on improving existing products and processes but also on the development of new products and processes. Establishing clear quantitative quality measures enables us to improve and achieve quality. Effective use of statistics permits the interpretation of data to improve and achieve quality. The conference will serve to bring innovations in statistical methodologies and quality tools to the forefront. Papers submitted to this conference typically include novel developments in the area of quality or applications of more established approaches in an innovative way.
The conference will be held in St. Louis, a city with many attractions. They include a cruise on the mighty Mississippi, a ride to the top of the Gateway Arch for a bird’s eye view of St. Louis, or seeking Lady Luck on a riverboat casino.
If you’re interested in presenting an applied or expository paper in any of three parallel sessions (Statistics, Quality Control or Tutorial/Case Studies) contact any of the committee members listed below, preferably by e-mail. Work should be strongly justified by application to a problem in engineering, manufacturing, process/chemical industry, physical sciences, or a service industry. The mathematical level of the papers may range from basic to that of the Journal of Quality Technology or Technometrics.
Submission deadline is March 7, 2005.
