Choice Review
This is an excellent reference book for quality practitioners, providing quick reference and stand-alone topics in alphabetical order. In this second edition (1st ed., 2000), several sections have been expanded, and new topics such as reliability applications and Simplex Optimization have been included. Detailed computational steps are incorporated throughout the work along with very helpful presentations on how to use quality techniques and tools. For anyone interested in executing statistical quality methods, Crossley (Quality Management Associates, Inc.) provides 48 topics from accelerated reliability testing to zone format control charts. These subjects are housed in one of seven major categories including "Descriptive Methods," "Statistical Process Control," "Special Applications," "Process Improvement," "Reliability," "Comparative Data Analysis," and "Acceptance Sampling Plans." Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional library collections. D. J. Gougeon University of Scranton
