This book presents a clear and straightforward treatment of the questions surrounding the measurement process. It begins with the Four Foundations of Shewhart's Control Charts and proceeds, in a logical and orderly fashion, to use control chart techniques to address the 10 most common questions about physical measurement processes. The simple control chart techniques presented do not require extensive computations, and the results are easily interpreted. The topics covered Measurement Discrimination Measurement Consistency Measurement Bias Operator Error Instrument Error The Ability of Measurements to Detect Process Variation

This internationally acclaimed textbook is widely used for teaching basic SPC, Data Analysis, and Continual Improvement Techniques to those who work in manufacturing and process industries. Over 75 years of practical experience were distilled in this book which combines instruction with real-world case studies. Written in ordinary language, the book is easy to read and appropriate for self study. W. Edwards Deming wrote in his foreword, It is fitting to add my deep appreciation for the mathematical achievements of Dr. Wheeler. His understanding of theory, and its application, is guided by mathematical knowledge. Some of he unique material in this landmark text includes: how charts signal inadequate measurement discrimination; how to use count data effectively; what happens if the measurements are not normally distributed; the right and wrong ways to assess capability; how to use process behavior charts with chemical batches; the right ways to compute limits for process behavior charts; principles of subgrouping; World-Class Quality and the Taguchi Loss Function.

Statistical Process Controls

This book of tables is the most complete reference for Plackett-Burman Screening Designs available. In addition to the basic Orthogonal Arrays, it provides data collection worksheets to facilitate conducting experiments and computation worksheets to facilitate the analysis of data. Tables of Confounding Patterns help with the interpretation of the results, making it easier to discover whether significant effects are due to interactions rather than main effects.

Advanced Topics in Statistical Process Control: The Power Of Shewhart's Charts

This collection of papers presents the basic elements of Continual Improvement. The Germ Theory of Management (by Myron Tribus) is a powerful description of the scope and nature of the transition from traditional ways of doing business. Avoiding Man-Made Chaos, continues this theme, contrasting traditional methods of interpreting data with the use of process behavior charts. Additional sections on avoiding the chaos of mathematical complexity and inappropriate terminology are included. Myths and Foundations outlines four common misconceptions about process behavior charts and four requirements for their effective use. Charts Done Right outlines the difference between the right and wrong ways of computing limits for the two most common types of process behavior charts.

Avoiding Man-made Chaos: And Other Essays

Capability is concerned with characterizing what a process will produce in the future, and readers will learn how to make those predictions. This discussion of capability goes beyond mere computations to illustrate the concepts, the pitfalls, and the appropriate uses of capability indexes for both predictable and unpredictable processes. Examples using data from real-world processes make the ideas clear and easy to grasp. In this popular book Dr. Wheeler has provided practical guidance, based on sound theory, to a perennial problem faced by professionals working in Continual Improvement. The second edition was prepared after The Process Evaluation Handbook was written. Together, the two books make these powerful tools accessible to all readers. In the new edition Chapter 5 was simplified, Chapter 8 was substantially changed, Chapter 9 was reorganized and now includes additional material. More tables are included and exercises, a glossary, and an index have been added.

Beyond Capability Confusion

French Translation of: UNDERSTANDING VARIATION…THE KEY TO MANAGING CHAOS by DONALD J. WHEELERWe live in the Information Age, and much of that information comes to us in the form of numbers. Before numerical information can be useful, however, it must be analyzed, interpreted, and assimilated. Unfortunately, teaching the techniques for making sense of data has been neglected at all levels of our educational system. As a result, throughout our culture there is little appreciation of how to effectively use the volumes of data generated by business, government, and the media. Thousands of readers have found this book to be the remedy.Readers report that this book has changed both the way they look at data and the very form of their monthly reports. It has turned arguments about the numbers into a common understanding of what needs to be done about them. These techniques and benefits have been thoroughly proven in a wide variety of settings. Read this book and use the techniques to gain the benefits for yourself and your organization.

Comprendre LA Variation (French Edition)

This book provides a completely new approach to creating ANOM charts. Using new tables of exact critical values this book reduces the calculation of the ANOM limits to the same level of simplicity found with Average and Range Charts. By combining the ease of computation enjoyed by the Average Chart with the ability to fine tune the analysis that you need with experimental data, this book is a breakthrough for practitioners. Tables, explanations, and examples are provided for the Analysis of Means, the Analysis of Ranges, the Analysis of Main Effects, and the Analysis of Mean Ranges.
