Process Quality Control

A hands-on, solutions-oriented guide, Process Quality Control, Third Edition, by Ellis R, Ott, Edward G. Schilling, and Dean V. Neubauer, gives you a systematic approach to gathering and analyzing data for troubleshooting manufacturing processes. This classic emphasizes short term and long term variability, particularly with regard to process capability and performance. The third edition gives you many new analytical methods, insights into their application, and case studies. These techniques include tolerance intervals, a test for the comparison of long term and short term variation, simplified attribute sample size determination, and an updated discussion of sampling. You'll also find an expanded discussion of control charts, including trend charts, manual adjustment charts, and short run charts. While the emphasis is on process control, you'll also find significant material on analysis of means.
