Measuring Process capability

For engineers and managers, explains how to use the measuring technique to enhance quality in manufacturing and assembly operations. Describes how to measure all types of industrial data, including attribute and non-normally distributed data; identify critical process characteristics and variables; establish reasonable process and machine capability goals; and assess capability in special situations such as processes with auto-correlated data, tool wear, or multiple setups. Case studies from real life demonstrate how measures should be calculated, analyzed, and interpreted. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
