Summary

Summary

This book was primarily written for the quality control and statistical quality control course areas on the junior, senior and graduate levels in Industrial Engineering, Engineering Management, and Management departments. It provides a broad treatment of quality control by expanding on the traditional statistical process control content to include process definition, design, and improvement -- as well as control. It encourages a holistic view of a production system and its customers.

The materials have been developed with both academic requirements and professional practice in mind. They allow an instructor to build a significant hands-on design project element into what sometimes turns into a descriptive initiative-by-initiative or tool-by-tool approach to instruction.
