In addition, statistical terminology is translated into basic English.  \u003cp\u003eIn the past, a lack of communication between engineers and statisticians, coupled with poor practical skills in quality management and statistical engineering, was damaging to products and to the economy. The disastrous consequence of setting tight tolerances without regard to the statistical aspect of process data is demonstrated.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book offers a solution, bridging the gap between statistical science and engineering technology to ensure that the engineers of today are better equipped to serve the manufacturing industry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInside, you will find coverage on:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe nature of variability, describing the use of formulae to pin down sources of variation;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eengineering design, research and development, demonstrating the methods that help prevent costly mistakes in the early stages of a new product;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eproduction, discussing the use of control charts, and;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003emanagement and training, including directing and controlling the quality function.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Engineering section of the index identifies the role of engineering technology in the service of industrial quality management. The Statistics section identifies points in the text where statistical terminology is used in an explanatory context.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEngineers working on the design and manufacturing of new products find this book invaluable as it develops a statistical method by which they can anticipate and resolve quality problems \u003ci\u003ebefore\u003c\/i\u003e launching into production.

He contributed a great deal to the pioneering of statistics in industry and operational research, and set up the first postgraduate management course at Hull. He is a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the Royal Statistical Institute and the Chartered Mangagement Institute. He is also a senior member of the American Society for Quality.\u003cbr\u003eJim has been a speaker at conferences and meetings (including the IMS meeting of 1999 'Statistics in the Education of Engineers') where he has encouraged the use of simple statistics within the engineering industry. He has written many articals and papers on statistical engineering as the key to quality, writing often for the IET. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 July 2009\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780470745564\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e192\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.56\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44384105857164,"sku":"9780470745564","price":73.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470745564_49538a14-5e9f-4e2e-aca8-4f14f4e01292.jpg?v=1780109363","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780470745564","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
