Quality Engineering editors Willis Jensen and Byran Smucker have created a new column, dedicated to practitioners of industrial statistics, in the journal.
The column, titled “Open Challenges in Industrial Statistics,” is peer-reviewed and edited by Jensen and Smucker.
To encourage stronger collaboration between academia and industry, this column will do the following:
- Create opportunities for collaboration and innovation between academia and industry partners within the framework of a peer-reviewed journal
- Recognize that the work to create a well-defined problem is just as valuable as the work to create a solution
- Tap into the power of crowdsourcing and more rapid publication of new ideas
Once problems have been published, all are invited to submit a solution. The most sufficient solutions will be published in subsequent issues.
The column is open access.
Learn more about the column or submit a problem statement.
