This in-depth introduction to SPC examines the technical aspects of the practices and procedures that are used to apply the quality management system in manufacturing. 

 

• Provides a description and history of SPC along with an analysis of how it is applied to control quality costs, productivity, product improvement, and work efficiency.
• Includes a new chapter on the 'Tools of Quality' that provides a complete explanation of the seven basic tools.
• Presents an improved discussion on the nature of control charts and a complete rewrite of most of the text to better facilitate an understanding of current trends in quality management.
• Covers unusual but important topics such as, humanistic concepts, DOE (design of experiments), and the probability rules and distributions needed for acceptance sampling.
• Takes special care throughout to fully explain how to read and interpret the various control charts used in the implementation of SPC.
