Description

Provides the student with a comprehensive understanding and knowledge of the use of statistical methods and techniques for monitoring and controlling processes.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

Use and apply the basic problem solving techniques of quality to analyse data.

Apply qualitative tools for problems solving, prioritising problems and improving processes.

"In this new edition, the author continues to explain how to combine the many statistical methods explored in the book in order to optimize quality control and improvement. The book has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the latest research and practices in statistical methods and quality control, and new features include: Updated coverage of control charts, with newly added tools. The latest research on the monitoring of linear profiles and other types of profiles Sections on generalized likelihood ratio charts and the effects of parameter estimation on the properties of CUSUM and EWMA procedures"--

The business, commercial and public-sector world has changed dramatically since John Oakland wrote the first edition of Statistical Process Control - a practical guide in the mid-eighties. Then people were rediscovering statistical methods of 'quality control' and the book responded to an often desperate need to find out about the techniques and use them on data. Pressure over time from organizations supplying directly to the consumer, typically in the automotive and high technology sectors, forced those in charge of the supplying production and service operations to think more about preventing problems than how to find and fix them. Subsequent editions retained the 'took kit' approach of the first but included some of the 'philosophy' behind the techniques and their use. The theme which runs throughout the 7th edition is still processes - that require understanding, have variation, must be properly controlled, have a capability, and need improvement - the five sections of this new edition. SPC never has been and never will be simply a 'took kit' and in this book the authors provide, not only the instructional guide for the tools, but communicate the management practices which have become so vital to success in organizations throughout the world. The book is supported by the authors' extensive and latest consulting work within thousands of organisations worldwide. Fully updated to include real-life case studies, new research based on client work from an array of industries, and integration with the latest computer methods and Minitab software, the book also retains its valued textbook quality through clear learning objectives and end of chapter discussion questions. It can still serve as a textbook for both student and practicing engineers, scientists, technologists, managers and for anyone wishing to understand or implement modern statistical process control techniques.

2013 Statistical Quality Control John Wiley & Sons
ISBN 1118322576 ISBN-13 9781118322574

This Edition continues to explore the modern practice of statistical quality control, providing comprehensive coverage of the subject from basic principles to state-of-the-art concepts and applications. The objective is to give the reader a thorough grounding in the principles of statistical quality control and a basis for applying those principles in a wide variety of both product and nonproduct situations. Divided into four parts, it contains numerous changes, including a more detailed discussion of the basic SPC problem-solving tools and two new case studies, expanded treatment on variable control charts with new examples, a chapter devoted entirely to cumulative-sum control charts and exponentially-weighted, moving-average control charts, and a new section on process improvement with designed experiments.
