A new edition of the undergraduate engineering text emphasizing statistical methods for quality control. Montgomery (industrial and management systems engineering, Arizona State U.) introduces the basic concepts of quality improvement and total quality management (TQM), the statistical methods employed to that end including sampling and probability, statistical process control tools, and how statistically designed experiments can be used for process design, development, and improvement. The concluding discussions concentrate on acceptance sampling and its variations. Includes illustrations, tables, and problems. The nine appendices supply distribution tables, and factors for constructing variables control charts and one and two-sided normal tolerance limits. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
