Mission
The mission of the Quality and Productivity Research Conference
is to improve the quality of products and services and the
productivity of industries by stimulating the research and
development of better statistical methods, and to identify new
application areas where statistics can have a significant impact.
Background
In 1984, AT&T Bell Laboratories organized the first Quality and Productivity
Research Conference (QPRC), known as the Mohonk Conference. This first
conference, and others that followed, stimulated development of modern
methods for product and process design, manufacturing, and other business
processes. The conference is sponsored by the Quality and Productivity
Section of the American Statistical Association (ASA). It includes a pre-conference
full day tutorial, plenary/invited/contributed/tutorial sessions, and special
events.
