Abstract

ABSTRACTIndustrial problems have stimulated an enormous amount of valuable statistical research, from the t-test to advanced statistical tools for quality. Industry continues to generate challenging problems for statistical design, modeling, and analysis. Useful articles are published in our journals, often stimulated by industrial applications. Nonetheless, there is concern that research in industrial statistics is falling well short of its potential for providing interesting problems, that some of the most exciting problems are not getting space in our journals, and that few statisticians working in industry are publishing research. This article endeavors to map out the current state of research in industrial statistics, to describe major issues that need to be addressed, and to discuss whether the research is on target to meet those challenges.
