Quality Engineering is a quarterly peer-reviewed scientific journal focusing on quality control and quality assurance management through use of physical technology, standards information, and statistical tools. The journal is published by Taylor & Francis on behalf of the American Society for Quality (ASQ). The editor-in-chief is Marcus Perry of the University of Alabama. Previous editors-in-chief have been Frank Caplan (1989-2004), David M. Lyth (2005-2006), James R. Simpson (2007-2008), G. Geoffrey Vining (2009-2010), Connie M. Borror (2011-2012), Peter A. Parker (2013-2015), and Murat Caner Testik (2016-2018).
The journal has published several special issues over the years:
- Special Issue on Statistical Quality Control in Healthcare (Volume 20, Number 4, October–December 2008)
- Special Issue on the First Stu Hunter Research Conference (Volume 26, Number 1, January–March 2014)
- Special Issue on the Second Stu Hunter Research Conference (Volume 27, Number 1, January–March 2015)
- Special Issue on Reliability (Volume 27, Number 3, July–September 2015)
- Special Issue on the Third Stu Hunter Research Conference (Volume 28, Number 1, January–March 2016)
In 2017, the American Society for Quality published a compilation of Søren Bisgaard's articles that appeared over the years in several of the Society's journals.[ citation needed ] Bisgaard, who died in 2009, was an extremely productive and insightful scholar of modern industrial statistics and quality engineering. He was a professor of Technology Management at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Professor of Business and Industrial Statistics at the University of Amsterdam.[ citation needed ]
Many of these articles had previously appeared in the Quality Quandaries column of Quality Engineering. The book is divided into four parts, as follows:
- Design and Analysis of Experiments
- Time Series Analysis
- The Quality Profession, and
- Healthcare Engineering.
