Special issue on Statistical Engineering

The journal Quality Engineering has published two special issues on statistical engineering. You can find:

• the 2022 special issue here https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/lqen20/34/4 
• the 2012 special issue here https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/lqen20/24/2

ISEA signed a Journal Affiliation Agreement with Taylor & Francis for Quality Engineering

Quality Engineering, an official journal of the American Society for Quality (ASQ,) aims to promote a rich exchange among the quality engineering community by publishing papers that describe new engineering methods ready for immediate industrial application or examples of techniques uniquely employed.

As an affiliate, ISEA may make recommendations for the Editor-in-Chief.  

A special print and online subscription rate of US$18/£13/€15 is available for members of the International Statistical Engineering Association (ISEA). Contact +44 (0)20 7017 5543 or societies@tandf.co.uk to subscribe.  A personal subscription includes content published in the year of purchase
