Six SIGMA and Beyond

by D. H. Stamatis

Six SIGMA and Beyond Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In this volume of the Six Sigma and Beyond series, quality engineering expert D.H. Stamatis focuses on how Statistical Process Control (SPC) relates to Six Sigma. He emphasizes the "why we do" and "how to do" SPC in many different environments. The book provides readers with an overview of SPC in easy-to-follow, easy-to-understand terms. The author reviews and explains traditional SPC tools and how they relate to Six Sigma and goes on to cover the use of advanced techniques. In addition, he addresses issues that concern service SPC and short run processes, explores the issue of capability for both the short run and the long run, and discusses topics in measurement.

Book News Annotation:

Introduces the statistical process control (SPC) methodology for collecting data, arranging data in a chart or graph form, and interpreting the data to reduce variations in the process. The author reviews descriptive statistics and normal distribution, then explains how to develop control charts and variable charts. A special application of SPC for processes that produce limited output, small production runs, or small batches is presented. The second half of the book discusses measurement error analysis, overviews the machine acceptance process, and explores the use of SPC in non-manufacturing organizations.
