A major tool for quality control and management, statistical process control (SPC) monitors sequential processes, such as production lines and Internet traffic, to ensure that they work stably and satisfactorily. Along with covering traditional methods, Introduction to Statistical Process Control describes many recent SPC methods that improve upon the more established techniques. The author-a leading researcher on SPC-shows how these methods can handle new applications.

After exploring the role of SPC and other statistical methods in quality control and...

Filled with easy-to-follow instructions that require minimal training, it outlines a layered audit system for...

Safety in industrial process and production plants is a concern of rising importance, especially if people would be endangered by a catastrophic system failure. On the other hand, because the control devices which are now exploited to improve the overall performance of industrial processes include both sophisticated digital system design techniques and complex hardware (input-output sensors, actuators, components and processing units), there is an increased probability of failure. As a direct consequence of this, control systems must include automatic supervision of closed-loop operation...

This book deals with the present and future situation with Quality and Safety management Systems (QMS and SMS). It presents new ideas, points to the basic misunderstandings in the two management systems, and covers a wide range of industries, as well as providing a practical assessment of scientific theory. It explains the fundamental misunderstanding of what Quality and Safety is from a practical point of view and how to improve them by integrating the two systems from the perspective that Quality-I is Safety-II.

With a quality management system (QMS) based on ISO 9001 you can ensure the quality of the products and services your company provides, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and increasing profitability.ISO 9001:2015 A Pocket Guideprovides a useful introduction to ISO 9001 and the principles of quality management.
