The tools and technique used in Statistical Process Control (SPC) have been used around the world to monitor variation in processes and identify opportunities to make real sustained improvements.

The majority of engineers and scientists have had some limited exposure to this important technique and this book has been written with the authors 30 years experience in practical statistical process control and is aimed squarely at practising engineers and scientists rather than statisticians and mathematicians.

Practical Statistical Process Control takes a graphical approach using a software tool called Minitab.

The author concentrates on each step of using the technique with explanations along the way of each decision point.

Readers will find this guide both practical and useful, with copious screenshots of the software in use and clear precise explanations.

The emphasis is on understanding process variation including the importance of gage reproducibility and repeatability. Also covered is the construction of control charts.

Key points:

* Provides tools and techniques for practical business and process improvement.

* Introduces screenshots and explanations for each step of statistical process control, control charts and using the right type.

* A worked example using Minitab example data, again explained step by step with advice from the author at each step.

This book will be extremely useful to engineers and scientists who want to solve quality, process and manufacturing problems quickly and easily.
