4.0 out of 5 stars
A sound introductory text,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fundamentals of Quality Control and Improvement (2nd Edition) (Textbook Binding)
This book could serve as the text for an introductory course in Quality Management and Control at the junior or senior level. If an engineering or business undergraduate can afford only one course in Quality, then this would be a suitable text for that course. The level of mathematics can be well managed by students not particularly good at analytical skills.
