The Journal of Quality Technology (JQT) has created a new Case Studies department and is actively seeking submissions from engineers and statisticians.  Case studies may focus on new techniques or existing methods applied in an interesting context. Submissions should provide instructive examples, illustrated with data so that readers can reproduce the results. Papers must be written in the specific format described on the case study instructions page.
