We discuss the role of Quality Engineering (QE), including reliability, logistics, industrial and operations research statistics-based engineering methods, in the improvement of health care systems dealing with the Covid-19 Pandemic. In particular, we employ QE methods in the analysis of four important systems: Opening of the Economy, Locking Down of the Economy, Re-Opening of Schools, and Vaccine Rollout. QE statistics-based methodologies are effective in designing, implementing, streamlining and making Covid-19 related systems operations easier to manage and control. Our previous research dealt with statistical modeling and analysis of Covid-19 topics. Our current research deals with the application of QE, including reliability, logistics, industrial, and operations research statistics-based engineering methods, to the design, development and improvement of health care systems dealing with the Covid-19 Pandemic. Both of said approaches are complementary, and reinforce each other. You can find this paper in:
