About this title

Synopsis

Practical Understanding of Capability by Implementing Statistical Process Control covers the full range of control charts (X and S charts, S and R charts, Variable and Attribute charts, and Individuals charts) and capability studies. Unlike most statistics and process control texts, which were written for college courses, author James Abbott designed his book specifically for use on the shop floor. Traditionally, all of the statistical tools are introduced and their uses explained. Mr. Abbott discusses the situations companies are likely to encounter and then explains which tool to use, and how to use it, for each situation. His conversational style is a welcome relief from other technical handbooks. Practice questions (and answers) are scattered throughout the book for readers to practice their new skills. A complete appendix provides the constants, formulas, and charts necessary for all phases of SPC.
