Description
Contents
Easy to read....logically developed.....common sense....wide audience appeal
This comprehensive primer on the elementary SPC methods of Drs. Shewhart and Deming is written in simple terms, requiring no advanced mathematical background. You'll learn not only how to use shewhart control charts, but why they work and when to use or when not to use them. The authors explain shewhart's methods of data analysis using "rational subgroups" as opposed to subgrouping data only in time order. An introduction to advanced topics will help you distinguish processes that do not fit the elementary model. Rather that introducing a hodgepodge of techniques, the harts show in a comprehensive manner how process improvement tools can work together most effectively.
