Statistical Methods for Quality Assurance

---

This book is a substantial revision of our Statistical Quality Assurance Methods
for Engineers published in 1999 by Wiley. It has evolved with the Iowa State
University course that originally motivated the writing of that first book and fairly
accurately represents the current technical content of Industrial Engineering 361
at ISU. (The biggest exception to this is that Sect. 6.2 is not formally part of the
course for all students, but does end up being important for a substantial fraction
of them as providing tools for their out-of-class process improvement project.)
This book has in Chap. 2 a substantially expanded treatment of measurement
and associated statistical methods. This has grown out of the realization that a very
large fraction of process improvement projects taken on by ISU IE 361 students
ultimately turn out to be problems of measurement (or at least have important
measurement components).
There has been some reorganization and extension of the qualitative material that in Statistical Quality Assurance Methods for Engineers was split between Chaps. 1 and 9 into this book’s Chap. 1. Material from the former text’s
Sect. 2.2.3 on lower limits of detection, its Chap. 4 on advanced methods of process monitoring, its Sect. 5.5 on balanced hierarchical studies, its Chap. 8 on sampling inspection, and its Sect. 7.3 on mixture studies has been moved out of this
book in the interest of concentrating on the most central issues and what can actually be profitably covered in a one-semester course for undergraduates. It is our
intention to put this material onto a website as supplemental/optional resources
for those interested.
