Mathematical Sciences: International Research Conference on Reliability; to be held June 19-22, 1991 in Columbia, Missouri

可靠性和质量是密切相关的概念， 随着产品质量的提高。 在这个高科技时代 行业，技术的发展，以确保一致的 材料的性能、质量和可靠性 相当大的兴趣。 由于其规模之大， 所涉及的开支和尽早作出决定的压力 正确的是，有必要设计适当的统计数据， 这些技术可以使实验者 甚至在实验结束之前就能做出统计决定。 因此，可靠性和质量已被证明是研究领域 与国家需求有关。 这笔赠款将部分支持可靠性会议 在密苏里州大学的演讲 参与者将 包括学术界、工业界和 政府领域。 这些工程师和 统计人员应证明对未来发展有益 急需的流程改进方法。

Reliability and Quality are closely related concepts dealing with improvement of product quality. In this age of high-tech industry, the development of technology to ensure consistent performance, quality and reliability of materials are of considerable interest. Because of the magnitude of the expenditures involved and the pressure to make early decisions correctly, it has been necessary to devise suitable statistical techniques that would enable the experimenter to make valid statistical decisions even before the experiment is terminated. Thus reliability and quality have proven to be areas of research related to national need. This grant will partially support a conference on Reliability at the University of Missouri in June, 1991. Participants will include representatives from the academic, the industrial and the governmental spheres. The interaction of these engineers and statisticians should prove to be beneficial for future development of much needed process improvements methodology.
