The Pocket Statistician : A Practical Guide to Quality Improvement
Statistical process control and the use of designed experiments in industry have led to some remarkable successes in recent years. Many of these have been well publicized, as has the contribution of statistical methods to the development of industrial supremacy in the Pacific Rim nations. Nevertheless, statisticians are often heard to bewail the fact that these methods are not so widely used as they might be. The purpose of The Pocket Statistician is therefore to provide, in five handy chapters, a practical guide to the use of statistics in industry. Rather than expounding the underlying theory, the authors have provided insight into what methods can do and how they do it; and knowing that the intended readership are busy people the discussions have been kept as concise as possible. A data disk is included in the back so that the analyses can be practiced immediately.

If you are an engineer, or an operations manager in a manufacturing plant, or anyone else who does not have an academic grounding in statistical methods but would like to use such methods for quality improvement, then this could well be the perfect book for you. It explains, in simple language, how you can use statistical process control and design of experiments to make rapid, significant, measurable improvements to whatever processes underpin your business. The data that you need to work through the examples is provided on an accompanying CD. Once you have worked your way through the book, it is great to keep on your desk as a handbook as you implement your improvement programme. A small book, as the title implies, but packed with useful information.
