While the common practice of Quality Assurance aims to prevent bad units from being shipped beyond some allowable proportion, statistical process control (SPC) ensures that bad units are not created in the first place. Its philosophy of continuous quality improvement, to a great extent responsible for the success of Japanese manufacturing, is rooted in a paradigm as process-oriented as physics, yet produces a friendly and fulfilling work environment. The first edition of this groundbreaking text showed that the 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. Statistical Process Control: The Deming Paradigm and Beyond, Second Edition reveals even more of Deming's philosophy and provides more techniques for use at the managerial level. Explaining that CEOs and service industries need SPC at least as much as production managers, it offers precise methods and guidelines for their use. Using the practical experience of the authors working both in America and Europe, this book shows how SPC can be implemented in a variety of settings, from health care to manufacturing. It also provides you with the necessary technical background through mathematical and statistical appendices. According to the authors, companies with managers who have adopted the philosophy of statistical process control tend to survive. Those with managers who do not are likely to fail. In which group will your company be?

Soon after his arrival at the dreaded Chillicothe Reformatory in Ohio, Jim was labeled a sweetboy, a term to describe an inmate that is boyishly good-looking and appears vulnerable. Within a week, inmates began stalking him, looking for the right moment to beat him into submission and ultimately have their way with him. Jim knew how to fight, but regardless of his fighting skills, he realized a group of determined attackers would eventually overcome him. This realization terrified him to the very core of his soul. Because succumbing to such abuse was out of the question, he was left with two options; escape and destroy his life forever, or fight as if he was possessed.
