Book Description
Based on Dr. W. Edwards Deming's philosophy for the improvement of quality, productivity, and competitive position, this book is perfect for production, management science, statistics, and industrial engineering professionals. The book features enumerative and analytical statistical studies, showing the difference between fixed populations and processes; methods for improving a stable process with a known capability; techniques for analyzing and interpreting control chart patterns; and modern inspection policies, specifically Deming's kp rules, instead of traditional sampling plans. It also includes quality improvement stories, examples, and mini-case studies that convert complex topics into easy-to-understand material.
