Great for the newcomer to SPC in industry or management, 4 April, 2001
Reviewer: ([email protected]) from Ayrshire, Scotland
As a statistician working in industry I am constantly looking for books that can get the message of SPC across to a mixed audience of analysts, engineers and managers.
This book does just that in simple language, minimising the use of formulae and mathematical proofs with the added advantage of using examples that the reader can relate to. No prior knowledge of statistics is required to understand and apply the enclosed information.
Reviewer: Paul Smith ([email protected]) from North West England, May 14, 2003
A really great book. Easy to read and understand, while catering for those new to SPC and the more experienced.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beware, no Lean
I have just received this book and it looks good – so I’m not reviewing the contents, just want to point out that if your read the above synopsis it makes a reference to “Six Sigma/Lean” – there is no Lean in the index or chapter headings – there is a chapter on Six Sigma which is quite different from Lean.
