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. 410 0$a2014 digital library. 410 0$aSupply and operations management collection.$x2156-8200 606 $aProcess control$xStatistical methods 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $avariation 610 $astatistical process control 610 $aSPC 610 $aprocess capability 610 $aSPC use 610 $aSPC implementation 610 $aout of control 610 $acontrol chart 615 0$aProcess control$xStatistical methods. 676 $a670.427 700 $aSower$b Victor E.$0873373 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464295603321 996 $aStatistical process control for managers$91949648 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03686nam 2200757Ia 450 001 9910454890603321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-135-89490-6 010 $a1-282-25686-6 010 $a9786612256868 010 $a0-203-87641-5 035 $a(CKB)1000000000773632 035 $a(EBL)446845 035 $a(OCoLC)444510294 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000183676 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11198041 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000183676 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10195528 035 $a(PQKB)10816696 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC446845 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL446845 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10326749 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL225686 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000773632 100 $a20081202d2009 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aIranian media$b[electronic resource] $ethe paradox modernity /$fGholam Khiabany 210 $aNew York $cRoutledge$d2009 215 $a1 online resource (264 p.) 225 1 $aRoutledge advances in internationalizing media studies ;$v3 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-415-84535-1 311 $a0-415-96289-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aBook Cover; Title; Copyright; Contents; Tables; Preface; Acknowledgments; Introduction; 1 Religion, State, and Culture: Beyond Islamic Exceptionalism; 2 Is There an Islamic Communication Theory?; 3 Iranian Press: The Paradox of 'Modernity'; 4 Emerging Public Spheres and the Limits of the Press; 5 Press, State, and Civil Society: Illusions and Realities; 6 Media Policy Under the Islamic Republic: Rights, Institutional Interests, and Control; 7 The Politics of Broadcasting: Continuity and Change, Expansion and Control; 8 Women's Press and the Gendered Nature of the Public Sphere; Conclusion 327 $aNotesBibliography; Index 330 $aThe post-revolutionary state in Iran has tried to amalgamate 'Sharia with electricity' and modernity with what it considers as 'Islam'. While sympathetic to private capital, through quasi anti-capitalist politics, the state began to restrict market-relations, confiscate major assets of sections of the Iranian bourgeoisie, and nationalize major aspects of Iran's industry, including its communications system. Since the end of war with Iraq and the start of the process of 'reconstruction', market-driven development and economic policies have been key aims of the state. 410 0$aRoutledge advances in internationalizing media studies ;$v3. 606 $aPress and politics$zIran$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aGovernment and the press$zIran$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMass media policy$zIran$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMass media$xReligious aspects$xIslam 606 $aFreedom of the press$zIran$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen and journalism$zIran$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen's periodicals, Persian$zIran$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPress and politics$xHistory 615 0$aGovernment and the press$xHistory 615 0$aMass media policy$xHistory 615 0$aMass media$xReligious aspects$xIslam. 615 0$aFreedom of the press$xHistory 615 0$aWomen and journalism$xHistory 615 0$aWomen's periodicals, Persian$xHistory 676 $a302.230955 700 $aKhiabany$b Gholam$0704613 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454890603321 996 $aIranian media$92137187 997 $aUNINA
