Economic Control of Quality of Manufactured Product

Along with "Statistical Method from the Viewpoint of Quality Control", Shewhart et.al. laid the groundwork for Statistical Process Control (SPC). Neither book is an easy read, even for the mathematically proficient, but worthy of chewing on until you get what Dr Shewhart is describing. Having read it in undergraduate studies, it was really a blessing to find it available through Amazon. Highly recommended for any engineer in manufacturing.

Author Dr. Shewhart Is the Father of SPC!

from my opinion , shewhart he is the father of quality , forget Deming and others , and this book will make you believe about that .This book is real science

After paging through this book, I was supprised to find that it still is one of the best books on quality control.

Great product, great price, fast shipping

You're asking if this book met my expectations? I was lonely, downtrodden, dejected, and suicidal. Basically, at the end of my rope. My woman left me, my best friend cheated me, and my favorite dish ran off with some spoon-ho from the wrong side of the tracks. I was ready to shoot myself a hot load of brown Mexican smack and just leave it all behind when I got the idea to buy and read "Economic Control of Quality of Manufactured Product."Boy, did this book ever change my life for the better. All the meaningful quality control and practical statistical knowledge I had been lacking came to me in a flash as I turned the pages. I went back to work, became Employee of the Month, my woman came back, my best friend apologized, and guess what I'm eating a sandwich off of right now? That's right: my favorite dish! And I've given up heroin as a crutch for my problems, too.I know old Walt is dead and heavily decomposed in some grave somewhere, and so shaking his hand right now wouldn't be as fun as I'd like it to be, and probably some of the parts would fall off, but I still get the urge to break out the old shovel every now and then and make his acquaintance.Boy oh boy, I sure hope they made his casket right! Wouldn't that be ironic if they didn't?

I've read this important book 3 times - the first time it was a little fuzzy and hard to beat my way through. The second time, it was much clearer (especially since I had the opportunity to hear Dr. Don Wheeler's thoughts on Shewhart and Control Charts). The third time, I read it because a client asked me to write a "book report" on it (he didn't have the time!). That's when I realized Walter Shewhart had a very dry, very droll sense of humor! The first 300 pages provide you with his development of control charts. Reading carefully, I realized that a lot of what I had been taught about control charts was bunk. For example, you may hear that "the data has to be normally distributed to use a control chart." Horse-hockey! Shewhart clarifies that his charts work regardless of the underlying data distribution. This is a book that will always have a place on my quality shelf!

Understanding the historical background for the development of quality management

Fue un placer tener en mis manos este libro, referencia de mis trabajo en Calidad. Es una reedicción, ya me habría gustado fuera el original. De todos modos hay que considerar la fecha en que se escribió, e interpretar.

Meet my expectations.
