Quality engineering is a fairly old area that is facing new challenges in research, education and practice.
There has always been a gap between quality engineering research and application. On one hand, it often takes a long time for research results to be widely spread to application. On the other hand, there are many extremely difficult practical problems that research has hardly provided any good solutions to.
There is a similar gap between quality engineering education and practice. On one hand, poor understanding of quality engineering methods and quality management principles is widespread in industry. On the other hand, quality engineering programs are not rapid enough to adapt to technological advances and ever-changing market requirements.
It is a huge challenge for quality engineering educators and researchers to close these gaps. More and closer collaboration between academics and industry is probably the best way to meet this challenge, which also implies opportunities.
In this seminar, practical experience in this area will be shared.
