About the Book
Quality is not inspected into a product at the end. It is built into the process from the start.
Quality Control: A Practitioner’s Field Guide is a working book, not a textbook. It is written for people who make quality happen on a real production line, in a real lab, or on a real shop floor: inspectors, technicians, quality engineers, and supervisors. They need methods they can pick up and use today.
Each chapter takes one tool that practitioners actually use. It explains what the tool is for and when to reach for it, then walks you through building and reading it with a worked example. Formulas appear only where they are needed, always alongside what to compute, what the result means, and what to do next.
What you will learn
- Foundations: what “quality” really means, the difference between control, assurance, and management, prevention versus detection, and the cost of poor quality
- Specifications and inspection: tolerances, trusting your measurements, types of inspection, and inspection planning and records
- The seven basic quality tools: check sheet, histogram, Pareto chart, cause-and-effect diagram, scatter diagram, and flowchart
- Statistical process control: common vs special cause variation, variables and attributes control charts, and reading the signals
- Capability and sampling: running a capability study, acceptance sampling and AQL, and the OC curve and its risks
- Problem solving: defining the problem, root cause analysis, FMEA, PDCA, DMAIC, and corrective action
- Quality systems: standard work, documentation, audits, continuous improvement, and a culture of quality
The methods are industry-neutral. The same control chart that watches a machined shaft can track a fill weight, a call-handling time, or a defect rate. A quick-reference appendix and a full glossary make the book easy to use on the job.
Who this book is for
Quality inspectors, technicians, engineers, and supervisors in manufacturing and service. It also suits students of industrial engineering and management, and anyone who must measure, control, and improve a process and prove it with evidence.
