SPC
Simplified: Practical Steps to Quality (Robert T. Amsden, Howard E. Butler, Davida M. Amsden)
ISBN: 0527763403
This best-seller is now newly updated to reflect the changing environment in manufacturing
organizations - including the changing roles of operators or line workers, the use of
cross-functional teams to solve problems and the shift away from quality control departments and
toward total quality management systems.
The formula that works so well for SPC Simplified has been untouched - it's still a hands-on manual
with practice problems in each module. Written in clear language, it simplifies the essentials for
monitoring, analyzing, and improving quality.
No mathematical background is needed.
You'll learn how to set up and use variable control
charts and attribute control charts, and how to analyze frequency histograms, machine and process
capability. New sections cover such problem-solving tools as checksheets, flow charts, and scatter
diagrams. The final module examines how the tools of SPC are used in organizations committed to TQM
and continuous improvement.

SPC,
third edition: Practical Understanding of Capability by Implementing Statistical Process Control
(James C. Abbott)
ISBN: 1887355030
Statistical Process Control, or SPC, is one of the most misunderstood and underused tools in modern
business practice.
SPC: Practical Understanding of Capability by
Implementing Statistical Process Control, third edition debunks the myth that SPC is only for
engineers or technical managers. In fact, SPC is the proper set of tools for any operation where a
product is created using a continuously repeated process. This is true for both manufacturing and
service industries (sometimes the "product" is actually a service to people.) Author James
Abbott uses everyday language to explain WHAT makes SPC work, WHY it will work for every situation,
and HOW it fits into the overall decision-making process.
This third edition of SPC is the result of years of
feedback and refinement. An expanded appendix provides complete glossaries of terms, constants,
formulas, and a practice question and answer section.

Statistical
Analysis Simplified: The Easy-to-Understand Guide to SPC and Data Analysis (H. James Harrington,
Glen D. Hoffherr, Robert P. Reid)
ISBN: 0079137296
To consistently improve quality, it is important to first minimize variation.
Statistical Process Control (SPC) is the driving force.
Along with defining and detailing SPC, Statistical Analysis Simplified discusses ways to use
measurement, numbers, and data to make better business decisions.
Filled with self-tests, exercises, games, formulas, and
simulations, this book presents today's complex methodologies in a practical and entertaining style.
With its clear and accessible descriptions, statistics become easy to grasp and use to make better
decisions.

Multivariate
Statistical Process Control with Industrial Application (Robert Lee Mason, John C. Young)
ISBN: 0898714966
This applied, self-contained text provides detailed coverage of the practical aspects of
multivariate statistical process control (MVSPC) based on the application of Hotelling's T2
statistic. MVSPC is the application of multivariate statistical techniques to improve the quality
and productivity of an industrial process. The authors, leading researchers in this area who have
developed major software for this type of charting procedure, provide valuable insight into the T2
statistic. Intentionally including only a minimal amount of theory, they lead readers through the
construction and monitoring phases of the T2 control statistic using numerous industrial examples
taken primarily from the chemical and power industries. These examples are applied to the
construction of historical data sets to serve as a point of reference for the control procedure and
are also applied to the monitoring phase, where emphasis is placed on signal location and
interpretation in terms of the process variables.
Specifically devoted to the T2 methodology, Multivariate Statistical Process Control with Industrial
Applications is the only book available that concisely and thoroughly presents such topics as how to
construct a historical data set; how to check the necessary assumptions used with this procedure;
how to chart the T2 statistic; how to interpret its signals; how to use the chart in the presence of
autocorrelated data; and how to apply the procedure to batch processes. The book comes with a CD-ROM
containing a 90-day demonstration version of the QualStatT multivariate SPC software specifically
designed for the application of T2 control procedures. The CD-ROM is compatible with Windows 95,
Windows 98, Windows Me Millennium Edition, and Windows NT operating systems.

Evolutionary
Operation : A Statistical Method for Process Improvement (Wiley Publication in Applied Statistics)
(George E. Box, Norman R. Draper)
ISBN: 0471255513
This book is about the philosophy and practice of Evolutionary Operation (called EVOP for short), a
simple but powerful statistical tool with wide application in industry.
Experience has long shown that statistical methods,
sometimes quite sophisticated in character, can be of great value in improving the efficiency of
laboratory and pilot-plant investigations made by specially trained chemists and engineers.
What originally motivated the introduction of EVOP,
however, was the idea that the widespread and daily use of simple statistical design and analysis
during routine production by process operatives themselves could reap enormous additional rewards.

Understanding Statistical
Process Control (Donald J. Wheeler, David S. Chambers)
ISBN: 0945320132
This internationally acclaimed textbook is widely used for teaching continual improvement. W.
Edwards Deming wrote in his foreword, "It is fitting to add my deep appreciation for the
mathematical achievements of Dr. Wheeler. His understanding of theory, and its application, is
guided by mathematical knowledge." This was voted one of the top ten books on quality by
Quality Professionals.

The pocket statistician - a
practical guide to quality improvement (Shirley Coleman, Tony Greenfield, Roger Jones, Clare Morris,
Ian Puzey), ISBN 034067721x
Statistical
process control and the use of designed experimentation in industry have led to some remarkable
successes in recent years. Many of these have been well-publicized, as has the contribution of
statistical method to the development of industrial supremacy in the Pacific Rim nations.
Nevertheless, statisticians are often heard to bewail the fact that these methods are not so widely
used as they might be. The purpose of this text is therefore to provide a practical guide to the use
of statistics in industry. Rather than expounding the underlying theory, the authors have provided
insight into what methods can do and how they do it. A data disk is included so that the analyses
can be practiced immediately.
