Objective
The International Conference on Quality, Reliability, Infocom Technology and Business
Operations is the leading international platform to disseminate information on most
recent and relevant advancement in research, theories and practices in the areas, not
restricted to, quality, reliability, Infocom technology and business operations. This
conference has always been hosted by Department of Operational Research, University
of Delhi along with Society for Reliability Engineering Quality and Operations
Management (SREQOM) in collaboration with Lulea University of Technology,
Sweden and has been attended by around 500 participants from over 15 countries each
time.
This theme on “Quality, Reliability, Infocom Technology and Business Operations”
aims at linking researcher’s and practitioner’s from different branches of industrial
engineering and management from around the world. This theme has been widely
recognized and is most appropriate in the present and upcoming times. The sustainable
development and continuous improvement as a result of technological applications and
organizational innovation (i.e. products/services, and process management) with
emphasis on Quality, Reliability and Infocom Technology will be the focal point.
This conference also focuses on interdisciplinary research to contribute, on both
theoretical and practical levels, to analyse the potential of multidimensional relations
and interactions of Education, Research and Technology with economy and society. One
of the major areas of emphasis in academia in recent years has been interdisciplinary
research, a trend that promises new insights and innovations rooted in cross-disciplinary
collaboration.
The Conference will not only take stock of trends and developments at the turn of the
millennium, but will also provide future directions. Besides, it will help in sharing of
experience and exchange of ideas, which will foster National/International
collaboration.
The past ICQRIT conferences were held in the year 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2012,
2015, 2017 and 2018 and this conference is 10th in its version. It’s being held since 2000
at INSA/Delhi University. Proceedings of these conferences have been published by
Springer, Narosa, and Macmillan etc. The conference has earned name for itself in India
and abroad creating a network which has fostered research collaborations.
