The main research over the last years has been within the application of random sample
function analysis (SFA) to computer based information technology for performance
measuring, monitoring and quality technology and effective management methodology.
Created up to now: principles of quality monitoring and versions for real time
information technology, random sample function crossing theory for computer-aided
estimation and prediction of quality and reliability; principles for harmonization
quality, reliability, and effective management systems, implementation state-of-the-art
process control, technology management methodology and updated metrological confirmation
system; state-of-the-practice education and education quality assurance; integration of
research, education and training..
Future research: development of SFA and related stochastical methodology for
six-sigma management, cross functional analysis, benchmarking and QFD methodology;
strategy for development of integral quality, reliability, safety, environmental
management system and principles for harmonization performance measuring and uncertainty
estimation methodology.

Total Quality Culture is a strategy of my personal life and
professional activities, where the Continuous Improvement principle implemented
according to ''Murphy laws'' which totally conform to my hobby - fishing and
understanding that .... today is yesterday's tomorrow.
