Synopsis
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.

The business and public sectors have evolved significantly since the first edition of this practical guide in the mid-eighties, when statistical methods for quality control were being rediscovered. The book addressed an urgent need for understanding and applying these techniques to data. Over time, organizations, especially in automotive and high-tech industries, shifted focus from problem-solving to preventing issues. Subsequent editions maintained the original 'toolkit' approach while incorporating the underlying philosophy of these techniques. The 7th edition emphasizes processes that require understanding, exhibit variation, must be controlled, possess capability, and need improvement--structured into five key sections. This edition transcends being merely a toolkit, offering instructional guidance alongside essential management practices crucial for success in today's organizations. Supported by the authors' extensive consulting experience across thousands of global organizations, it includes updated real-life case studies, new research, and integration with advanced computer methods and Minitab software. Retaining its textbook quality, it features clear learning objectives and end-of-chapter discussion questions, making it suitable for students and professionals alike who wish to grasp or implement modern statistical process control techniques.
