Date: Wednesday, 14 April 2021
Time: 4:00 PM (Malaysian Standard Time)
Speaker: Prof. Min Xie, Chair Professor of Industrial Engineering, City University of Hong Kong

Overview:

In today’s competitive world, quality and reliability are of increasing importance to both manufacturer and consumer. There are many new research and application problems that have to be dealt with as systems have become more complex. In this talk, we will start with some industrial quality and reliability problems that are studied in our research, and discuss some engineering and managerial decision issues which are the ultimate objective in doing research. Some future and challenging issues in research and applications in quality and reliability engineering and management will also be discussed. Finally, we will also share some experience in publishing the results in reputable international journals.
