Driven  by a new business environment including globalized economy, business automation,  and business and technology innovations, the service sector keeps growing and  now accounts for more than 50 percent of the labor force in the developed  economies. It reaches as high as 80 percent in the United States and the United  Kingdom. With the shift in economic focus from manufacturing to service,  industrial and academic research facilities may need to apply more scientific  rigor to the practices of service, such as discovering better methods to use  statistics and mathematical optimization to increase quality, productivity, and  efficiency to meet the challenges. This talk will focus on the development of  statistical quality techniques, and discuss several technical challenges and  recent extensions to the service engineering research area.
