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
