Zusatztext From the first edition:"The book is intellectually stimulating! sometimes on non-statistical issues! which is a rare bonus for readers in this field." - Bulletin of the International Statistical Institute! Short Book Reviews Informationen zum Autor J. Koronacki! J.R. Thompson Klappentext The first edition of this groundbreaking text showed that the Statistical Process Control (SPC) paradigm of W. Edwards Deming was not at all the same as the Quality Control paradigm that has dominated American manufacturing since World War II. Its philosophy of good management! to a great extent responsible for the resurgence and success of Japanese manufacturing efforts! is rooted in a paradigm as process-oriented as physics! yet produces a friendly and fulfilling work environment. This second edition broadens its view to reveal even more of Deming's philosophy and provides more techniques for use at the managerial level. It shows readers that CEOs and service industries need SPC at least as much as production lines! and offers precise methods and guidelines for their use. Zusammenfassung Reveals Deming's philosophy and provides techniques for use at the managerial level. This book shows readers that CEOs and service industries need SPC at least as much as production lines, and offers precise methods and guidelines for their use.
