The Quality and Productivity (Q&P) section has put together an exciting program for the Joint Statistical Meetings this year. First, Q&P is co-sponsoring the introductory overview lecture “The Industrial Internet and Cyber-Physical Systems: An Opportunity for Statisticians in the Era of Big Data and Data Science.” The lecture features three speakers from industry, government, and academia: Bill Ruh, vice president of General Electric; Sokwoo Rhee, White House Presidential Innovation Fellow; and Michael Rappa, executive director of the Institute for Advanced Analytics of North Carolina State University.
There is also an invited session, “Bridging the Gap Between Academia and Industry in Quality and Productivity” that will cover collaboration in areas such as field failure prediction for repairable systems, industrial Internet, chemical kinetic models, and statistical guidelines for ship to control.
Other Q&P-sponsored sessions will cover topics in quality control, SPC, reliability, DOE, and more.
Finally, Q&P is sponsoring the following six roundtable events:
- Sensitivity Testing: Theory and Practice, led by Barry Neyer of Excelitas Technologies
- Pitfalls of Accelerated Testing, led by Brian Weaver and Scott Vander Wiel of Los Alamos National Laboratory
- Using Split-Plot Designs for Efficient Experimentation, led by Brooks Henderson of Stat-Ease Inc.
- Achieving Process Excellence Using Design of Experiments, led by Daksha Chokshi of Aerojet Rocketdyne
- Using Statistical Engineering to Attack Large, Complex, Unstructured Problems, led by Roger Hoerl of Union College
- The Use of Bayesian Methods in Reliability Data Analyses and Modeling, led by William Q. Meeker of Iowa State University
