Description:

Accessible to students in statistics and industrial engineering, this text presents a systematic introduction to traditional and modern SPC methods. Requiring some background in basic linear algebra, calculus, and introductory statistics, the book illustrates the methods using detailed worked examples from the author’s industrial experience. Pseudocode is provided for important methods and R code is available online. The text includes exercises at the end of each chapter, making it ideal as a course text or for self-study.
