A true short hand about Quality in processes,
By
This review is from: Beating Your Competition Through Quality (Paperback)
Writting this book some 17 years ago, the author makes great advice to managers and decision makers in companies (States and around the globe) using Japan's then success in manufacturing quality products.
The author uses his solid background in statistical science to allert readers about the importance of statistics to businesses and companies. I regard the recommendations (while a touch vague and, now, slipping out of date) as valid for today's era; companies' directors from evolving countries will have an insight reading the book written in easy language, and will also learn about how quality should be viewed. Finally, I recommend it as a pre-reading to anyone who is about to study an optimization or robust design/quality engineering course at a post graduate level: It will make the academic context look simpler and easier to grasp on.
