Statistical Process Control in Manufacturing Practice (Manufacturing Engineering and Materials Processing)

Emphasizing the importance of understanding and reducing process variation to achieve quality manufacturing performance, this work establishes how statistical process control (SPC) provides powerful tools for measuring and regulating manufacturing processes. It presents information derived from time-tested applications of SPC techniques at on-site process situations in manufacturing. It is designed to assist manufacturing organizations in explaining and implementing successful SPC programmes.
