4.0 out of 5 stars A MUST read book for Practicing Engineers, November 15, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Measuring Process Capability: Techniques and Calculations for Quality and Manufacturing Engineers (Hardcover)
This book significantly bridges the gap between the knowledge of Process Capability Study and the actual practical situations. The book is written in such a way that is easy for any working adult to gain quick insight to this important topic without much of the mathematical burden. It is extremely rewarding to use it as a working guide as well as reference to more difficult topics in real situations. I recommend this book to all Engineering undergrads in particular.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Cookbook for SPC Practitioner, June 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Measuring Process Capability: Techniques and Calculations for Quality and Manufacturing Engineers (Hardcover)
I think this quite a cookbook for any SPC practitioner. It helps me to handle the daily problems that I may encounter; I can take less effort. However, this book is quite difficult for beginners in SPC. I highly recommend quality and process related engineers to buy one for resolving their problems.

I'm quite impress with the amount of information that I have at my finger tips. I'm ordering 5 more and have introduced the book at one of my manufacturing sites and it is a must read for them.
