If you have been frustrated by very technical statistical process control (SPC) training materials, then this is the book for you. This book focuses on how SPC works and why managers should consider using it in their operations rather than on how to calculate limits for control charts. It provides the reader with a conceptual understanding of SPC so that appropriate decisions can be made about the benefits of incorporating SPC into the process management and quality improvement processes. An extensive list of references is provided for those readers who wish to dig deeper into the technical details of SPC. SPC is designed to facilitate making better, more informed decisions about processes. SPC can indicate whether a process should be adjusted or left alone. It can also indicate when a process needs improvement to meet requirements, often can indicate a starting point for improvement projects, and can also provide documentation of the results of process improvement activities. 000941806 588__ $$aTitle from PDF title page (viewed on August 21, 2014). 000941806 650_0 $$aProcess control$$xStatistical methods. 000941806 653__ $$avariation 000941806 653__ $$astatistical process control 000941806 653__ $$aSPC 000941806 653__ $$aprocess capability 000941806 653__ $$aSPC use 000941806 653__ $$aSPC implementation 000941806 653__ $$aout of control 000941806 653__ $$acontrol chart 000941806 655_0 $$aElectronic books 000941806 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781606498460 000941806 830_0 $$a2014 digital library. 000941806 830_0 $$aSupply and operations management collection.$$x2156-8200 000941806 852__ $$bebk 000941806 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1768923$$zOnline Access 000941806 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:941806$$pGLOBAL_SET 000941806 980__ $$aBIB 000941806 980__ $$aEBOOK 000941806 982__ $$aEbook 000941806 983__ $$aOnline
