Quality Control for Dummies Kindle Edition

It's ok as far as books go.I doubt that the topic has much mass appeal.As a primer it is a good place to start.However, it is dated.In terms of metrology, there are several additional advnces in quality controlpast what is covered in this book.The current standard (for NASA) is Z540.3.... this has not been fully realised wihtin NASA - and, general ignored within the industry.An earlier version - Z540.1 - is accepted and achievable.This book goes up thru ISO900 and a bit of 17025.As a basic staring point, this book covers basic concepts.The details and functional equations for uncertainty analysis are not covered.it is more anectdotal as to why quality control should exist - than a practical application manual.

Quality Control is a complicated topic, this book did not make it any easier. After all the online search gave more detailed and better presented information.The book goes into details where it seems obvious but other complicated topics are considered easy to follow and no additional information is provided.Normally a big fan of the dummies Serie but not this one.

This book provided a lot of helpful information for a novice to Quality Control. It presented the information in a way that was easy to digest, and put in terms I could understand a newcomer to the industry. The only thing that got me confused was some of the statistical process guides were riddled with nomenclature and processes that kept me feeling like there was a class I should have taken just before buying this book.Overall it's a good referance to have at your desk, and an asset to anyone just getting into QC work that needs help with terminology and general scope of practice.

As someone that has spent countless hours scouring the internet for information on this for a new position at work, this is the BEST book I have found that covers everything. I've always been a fan of the For Dummies books and this one did not disappoint. If you have no idea where to begin in this area, then this book is for you.

Obvious generalization.

I really liked that book. If you are a newbie to quality and not sure if quality is the route you would like to go, this book will help you to understand the basics of quality and how to get started.I read the book chapter by chapter to get a good overview of all discussed metrics and tools. Liked the links to other topics as it helps to research it in case you are not sure about this method, tool...One improvement I would like to suggest is that each chapter contains a test section. The questions would provide the reader feedback if his/her understanding of the chapter is in sync with the author's one.

I bought this book to get a better understanding of a 5S quality system and I have learned much more than just 5S. If you are interested in any of the quality concepts, this is the book for you. Because it is part of the Dummies series, it is easy to understand and full of great information. Super book, super information, all at a super price!

good book

Love this book, my new goto material for brief snappy explanations.

A good guide book. Well packaged.

This is actually my recommended book from College on a Quality Management Systems subject I'm doing.It's very well laid out, simple and cuts to the chase, no bull.Coming from someone who doesn't know much about quality and it's systems, I like it.Deals with Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen, KanBan, etc...

Great product
