About this symposium

For all companies worldwide, the quest for high quality products and services has clearly become a key point for business competitiveness. Among the numerous approaches used for improving the quality, the Statistical Process Control (SPC) plays a particularly important role.

All around the world, there are many researchers who are developing new SPC methods, trying to implement them into real industrial situations and publishing the results into international peer-refereed journals. But, surprisingly, for these researchers, there were no periodic meetings dedicated to this topic only.

Based on this finding, the International Symposium on Statistical Process Control - ISSPC'2009 was held at Nantes, France, in July 2009 (http://isspc2009.free.fr). At the closing session, the participants decided to make it biennial and the ISSPC'2011 will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
