In 2014, the ASA Quality and Productivity (Q&P) Section’s Quality and Productivity Research Conference will combine with the ASA’s Section on Physical and Engineering Sciences Spring Research Conference to create a Joint Research Conference (JRC) with the theme “Statistics and Quality in a Data Rich World.” The 2014 JRC will be held June 24–26 at the University of Washington. The goal of the conference is to stimulate interdisciplinary research among statisticians, scientists, and engineers in quality and productivity, industrial needs, and the physical and engineering sciences. Statistical issues and research approaches drawn from collaborative research will be highlighted.
The conference will honor Douglas Hawkins from the University of Minnesota. Conference registration includes a tour and reception at the Future of Flight Aviation Center and a tour of Boeing’s Commercial Jet Assembly Plant in Everett, Washington (the world’s largest building).
For a small additional registration fee, a short course on Bayesian statistical process control taught by Panagiotis Tsiamyrtzis will be offered before the conference on June 23.
