"As a comprehensive statistics reference book for qualityimprovement, it certainly is one of the best booksavailable."
--Technometrics
This new edition continues to provide the most current,proven statistical methods for quality control and qualityimprovement
The use of quantitative methods offers numerous benefits in thefields of industry and business, both through identifying existingtrouble spots and alerting management and technical personnel topotential problems. Statistical Methods for Quality Improvement,Third Edition guides readers through a broad range of tools andtechniques that make it possible to quickly identify and resolveboth current and potential trouble spots within almost anymanufacturing or nonmanufacturing process. The book providesdetailed coverage of the application of control charts, while alsoexploring critical topics such as regression, design ofexperiments, and Taguchi methods.
In this new edition, the author continues to explain how tocombine the many statistical methods explored in the book in orderto optimize quality control and improvement. The book has beenthoroughly revised and updated to reflect the latest research andpractices in statistical methods and quality control, and newfeatures include:
