Tim Davis: Appreciation of Jim Morrison’s '57 paper "The study of variability in engineering design"

Tim Davis has a PhD in statistics from the University of Birmingham, UK, and is an honorary professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Warwick, UK. He was formerly the Director of Quality for the truck division of the Ford Motor Company and a Henry Ford Technical Fellow for Quality Engineering. He is a fellow of the ASA and a chartered Fellow of both the Royal Statistical Society and the Institution of Mechanical Engineering, London, UK. In this talk Tim explores the concept of parameter design applied to the production of glass beads in the manufacture of metal-encapsulated transistors. The main motivation is to complete the parameter design study hinted at in Jim Morrison’s seminal paper on transmitted variation published in 1957, which was an early example of discussing the idea of transmitted variation in engineering design. Although the 1957 paper is not recent, its approach to engineering design is modern, and was an influential paper in the development of statistical engineering.
