This is a professional's book! It covers quality control at the level that you need -- whether a novice in the field or an experienced professional. It does an excellent job of interrelating all of the aspects of quality control, while letting you focus on the topic at hand; you never feel that you are "out of place" in the process. This book is so good that we are going to use it as the reference/source for our training programs that cover not only quality control but quality control's relationship with other aspects of operations management and program management. I have even incorporated it into an undergraduate course I teach on quality management and productivity. There's something in it for every technical professional in the workplace today.

Besterfield made a true tour de force respect the edition and contain of Quality Control. It provides you of abundant and concise information, explicit and deatiled around the last innovations and advances in this field.

More than a tool, this book is a must for you; in your daily job, as consult text, as fundamental reference for students and an invaluable supporting guide for teachers and professionals.

One of the most remarkable texts written in years. A monumental issue without any doubt. Go for it and you will be absolutely rewarded.

If you only buy one book on the application of statistics and probability to the creation of control charts (SPC) and acceptance sampling, this is it. Dale wrote the original first text on SPC back when the only literature on the subject was found in periodicals and research papers. It took him over 3000 manhours to write this concise text and it's bank of clear, understandable problems. The text earned him the title of full Professor at Southern Illinois University and a national reputation as it was used by Ford Motor Company and others for internal training. After teaching from it for almost 20 years I can assure you there is no better book on the subject in the field. (And, yes, I know Dale personally, but have had virtually no contact with him since his retirement many years ago).

Textbook was as described. Great price and shipping was very speedy. I use Amazon for the purchase of my College textbooks mainly for the savings on the cost.

ok book arrived on time, but not so happy about condition though; worse than expected for a "used good book"
