This book is based on the papers presented at the International
Conference 'Quality Improvement through Statistical Methods' in
Cochin, India during December 28-31, 1996. The Conference was
hosted by the Cochin University of Science and Technology, Cochin,
India; and sponsored by the Institute for Improvement in Quality
and Productivity (IIQP) at the University of Waterloo, Canada, the
Statistics in Industry Committee of the International Statistical
Institute (lSI) and by the Indian Statistical Institute. There has
been an increased interest in Quality Improvement (QI) activities
in many organizations during the last several years since the
airing of the NBC television program, "If Japan can ... why can't
we?" Implementation of QI meth ods requires statistical thinking
and the utilization of statistical tools, thus there has been a
renewed interest in statistical methods applicable to industry and
technology. This revitalized enthusiasm has created worldwide
discussions on Industrial Statistics Research and QI ideas at
several international conferences in recent years. The purpose of
this conference was to provide a forum for presenting and ex
changing ideas in Statistical Methods and for enhancing the
transference of such technologies to quality improvement efforts in
various sectors. It also provided an opportunity for interaction
between industrial practitioners and academia. It was intended that
the exchange of experiences and ideas would foster new
international collaborations in research and other technology
transfers.
