Description
This new edition offers the most comprehensive coverage of statistical quality control (also known as statistical process control). Recognizing that quality improvement requires more than just control charts, this new edition also updates previous information, revises the introduction and control chart topics, and provides new chapters on CUSUM/EWMA procedures and acceptance sampling.
