The Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Quality and Reliability Engineering Research

该奖项为罗格斯大学和亚利桑那州立大学联合建立质量和可靠性工程研究的工业/大学合作研究中心的规划会议提供资金。该中心将有两个地点，第一个是罗格斯大学的工业工程系，第二个是亚利桑那州立大学的工业和管理系统工程系(IMSE)。它将得到地方/国家行业、罗格斯大学、亚利桑那州立大学以及政府和州政府机构的支持。该中心的使命是研究和开发评估系统性能的模型，并提高商业产品和军用系统的质量和可靠性。该中心的目标是在质量和可靠性领域提供及时、高质量和具有成本效益的研究、开发、培训、研讨会和研讨会以及分析。该中心具有成功的必要要素：1)随着竞争的加剧和对产品质量和客户感知的可靠性的重视，需要进行研究，以奠定坚实的基础，以支持商业产品和军事系统的质量和可靠性的提高；2)地方和国家行业对质量和可靠性工程领域的浓厚兴趣；3)中心利用罗格斯大学工业工程系和亚利桑那州立大学工业和管理系统工程系系在质量和可靠性工程和概率建模方面的现有优势，4)该中心为小公司和大型组织的分支机构提供具有成本效益的研究和开发机会；5)该中心为工业工程研究生提供质量和可靠性工程领域的曝光和培训。本次规划会议将研究建立质量与可靠性工程产学合作研究中心的可行性。拟议中心的目标是研究和开发评估系统性能的模型，并提高商业和军用产品的质量和可靠性。目前，已有四家公司表示有兴趣支持拟议的研究活动。计划于1996年1月举行一次规划会议，以便与受邀公司一起制定更好的研究计划。这项工作得到了设计、制造和工业创新部门运筹学和生产系统项目主任Pius Egbelu博士的协调。

EEC-9526413 Elsayed This award provides funding for a planning meeting to establish an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Quality and Reliability Engineering Research jointly between Rutgers University and Arizona State University. The Center will have two locations, the first is the Industrial Engineering Department of Rutgers University and the second is the Department of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering (IMSE) of Arizona State University. It will supported by local/national industries, Rutgers University, Arizona State University, and government and state agencies. The mission of the Center is to conduct research and develop models of evaluating system performance and improve quality and reliability of commercial products and military systems. The Center's goal is to provide timely, high-quality and cost-effective research, development, training, seminars and workshops, and analysis in the quality and reliability areas. The Center has the necessary elements for success: 1) With increasing competition and emphasis on the quality of products and reliability perceived by the customers, there is need for research that will lead to a strong foundation to support improved quality and reliability of commercial products and military systems, 2) There is a strong interest from local and national industry in the quality and reliability engineering areas, 3) The Center utilizes the existing strength in quality and reliability engineering and probabilistic modeling of the faculty of the Department of Industrial Engineering at Rutgers University and the faculty of the Department of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering at Arizona State University, 4) The Center provides cost effective research and development opportunities for small companies and subdivisions of large organizations, and 5) The Center provides exposure and training for graduate industrial engineering students in the area of quality and reliability engineering. This planning meeting will study the feasibility in establishing an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center on Quality and Reliability Engineering. The goal of the proposed Center is to conduct research and develop models for evaluating system performance and improve quality and reliability of commercial and military productq. Currently, four companies have expressed interests in supporting the proposed research activities. A planning meeting has been planned in January 1996 to develop a better research plan with invited companies. This effort has been coordinated with Dr. Pius Egbelu, Program Director of the Operations Research and Production Systems Program in the Division of Design, Manufacture, and Industrial Innovation.
