Best Poster Competition

The 2023 INFORMS Conference on Quality, Statistics, and Reliability (ICQSR) invites poster presentations in all areas of quality, statistics, and reliability. The Best Poster Award Competition will be held at the session to recognize excellence among the high-quality posters. This award program brings prestige to the QSR Section as well as to the recipients of this honor.

On behalf of the organizing committee, we would like to invite researchers, practitioners, and students to share their projects presented as poster displays. All topics related to quality, statistics, and reliability are welcome. The poster can be about original research, new developments, novel concepts, state-of-the-art reviews/surveys, case study, implementation, software, etc.
