5.0 out of 5 stars A Qaulity Control Engineer's desk reference, November 16, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Statistical Quality Control (Mcgraw Hill Series in Industrial Engineering and Management Science) (Hardcover)

It has not been easy to find a book on Quality Control which covers all the basics and depth on this subject. This is ONE book which I strongly recommend to all readers who wish to analyse the different methods in Statistical Quality Control. Many readers, will be surprised, just like me on the depth of the material. The organisation and presentation of the material is first class. Although this book is usable in college level teaching in this subject, but I find it much more meaningful as a practicing guide. The writers have demonstrated their wealth of knowledge in this book. I guarded it as a MUST read book for practioner in SQC.

5.0 out of 5 stars Undisputably the best for practitioners in this field!, August 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Statistical Quality Control (McGraw-Hill Series in Industrial Engineering and Management) (Hardcover)

This book has been around for about half a century, yet it is still the very best among just about as many similar titles in SQC. It is full of statistical and practical insights into all that a quality practitioner needs to know about the subject. I used the book as a student, and am still using it as a professor, and as an Academician of the International Academy for Quality.

This review is from: Statistical Quality Control (McGraw-Hill Series in Industrial Engineering and Management) (Hardcover)

Used this as a textbook in a college course in quality assurance. It is THE book on SPC, and other statistical issues in quality assurance and control. Well illustrated with lots of examples. Great problem sets. For many years, the recognized standard college text in SPC, and having used it as that, I see why. Recommended.
