EZ SPC - Statistical Process Control Demystified

by Ralph V. Celone, Ronald L. Buckley

This book is a how-to manual for implementing a Statistical Process Control program for any type of business. It takes the unnecessarily complicated, sometimes-intimidating Statistical Process Control concept – thoroughly dissects and demystifies it while making it very easy to understand with a minimum of effort. While Statistical Process Control was originally created for manufacturing, this book contains many examples of how SPC can and should be applied in virtually any business to dramatically eliminate waste, improve quality and profits.The book also dispenses with much of the little used theoretical concepts of statistics that can bog down and increase costs of a quality improvement or Six Sigma program and presents SPC in a “meat & potatoes” approach designed to allow anyone to be able to master the basics of Statistical Process Control regardless of their level of education.This book is the product of the author’s many years of experience learning about and teaching Statistical Process Control and his desire to share his knowledge in the hope that he can help others avoid some of the common mistakes usually made.

Excellent source of information

Great start for individuals just beginning to work with statistical process control. Very light rear and quick read without getting bogged down on the technical terminology.

This book is aptly named. I have only been working with SPC for about 6 months now. I have learned a lot by doing....EZ SPC would have prepared me better. As a CI person I have been wondering how SPC could be applied in non-equipment operations. This book showed a good example with the call center. I cannot wait to see the downloads the author mentions.
