Dr. David Lyth, in his Parkview Campus office, reviews
articles as the new editor of the quarterly Quality Engineering
Dr. David Lyth has been named the editor of Quality Engineering (QE), a quarterly journal devoted to articles dealing with actual quality problems and their solutions.
Lyth replaces Frank Kaplan, 84, who established the journal. His new responsibilities include previewing approximately 15 articles per month to determine those that are sent to the editorial review board.
“The message (of an article) should be what the problem was, how it was solved, and what the results were,” he said. “It’s a very practitioner-oriented journal.”
QE is co-published by American Society for Quality Control (ASQ) and Marcel Dekker.
Each issue contains about a dozen articles and two columns, one on standards and another by the editor-in-chief
Lyth, who joined the IME faculty in 1987 after earning a Ph.D. in production and operations management at Michigan State University, was promoted to professor in 1998. He has been on the editorial board for QE since its inception.
ASQ publishes four journals dealing with quality: Quality Management Journal, Quality Engineering, Journal of Quality Technology, and Technometrics.
