The American Statistician (volume 62, number 2, page 183)Designed for a practitioner with no exposure to fundamental statistical ideas, this book describes the core concepts and implementation strategies for statistical process control (SPC).
Restricting itself to the very core of SPC, and doing a thorough treatment of these concepts and charts, the book will be a good starting point for practitioners.
A small number of exercises are included in each chapter to help the reader reproduce the results demonstrated and practice the concepts.
Overall, the book will be a comfortable read for those new to statistical idea and statistical process control but will need to be supplemented with other materials once the reader has gained an understanding of the basics.
