The Handbook of Applied Acceptance Sampling: Plans, Procedures and Principles
Stephens, Kenneth S.
"(This book) is a welcome additon to the literature of quality. It deals with an area of quality technology that is underutilized, often misunderstood and sometimes abused. It will prove a worthwhile addition to the bookshelves of quality professionals." - Dr. Edward G. Schilling, Professor Emeritus, Rochester Institute of Technology Written in clear and understandable terms, this handbook provides a modern and applied approach to the subject of acceptance sampling and inspection. Loaded with numerous examples and illustrations to guide you, The Handbook of Applied Acceptance Sampling: Plans, Procedures, and Principles helps to make many of the mainstream principles and evaluation tools of this quality method straightforward and easy to understand. The text is written in a clear, lucid style with numerous examples and illustrations to help guide the reader, student or practitioner in these quality techniques, and to serve as a resource for current knowledge on the subject. Using spreadsheet analyzes and their applications for common acceptance sampling problems (complete with the actual formulas used in the principal cells), the book makes many of the principles and evaluations of acceptance sampling easy to understand and apply using Excel(r) spreadsheet software. The bonus CD-ROM is loaded with appendices, problem exercises & solutions, tables, graphs and more from the text that can be used beyond the applications in the book - making it an excellent practical guide for the student or quality professional. Benefits:
- Comprehensive, logically ordered coverage of the many principles, techniques, plans, and procedures of acceptance sampling.
- Extensive coverage of spreadsheet analysis (using EXCEL) for evaluation of sampling procedures and graphical presentations of their characteristics.
- A rich collection of examples which illustrates the numerous procedures and techniques of acceptance sampling.
- BONUS CD-ROM containing appendices, problem exercises/solutions, tables, graphs and more from the text that can be used beyond the applications in the book.
