A fully revised guide to experimental design for analytic studies, updated with new case studies and coverage of the latest software
Quality Improvement Through Planned Experimentation, Third Edition offers in-depth coverage of implementing planned experimentation to make improvements. The Third Edition is thoroughly revised and updated to incorporate new information and case studies on the service and biomedical industries. In addition, a major improvement is the upgrade of the “Study It” now offered on an affiliated... MORE
The statistical methods covered in this book are powerful aids to engineers, technicians, designers, and quality managers who are charged with improving their businesses. The late W. Edwards Deming, who led the sweeping quality revolution in the U.S. in the 20th century, said that this book “breaks new ground in prediction based on data from comparisons of two or more methods, treatments, tests, and experiments.” The work of Deming, Box, Taguchi, and other pioneers in quality served as a foundation for everything in this book.
Quality Improvement Through Planned Experimentation, Third Edition
- Discusses the PDSA (Plan, Do, Study, Act) cycle, and how to repeat it sequentially for continuous improvement of processes and products
- Includes case studies from a manufacturing plant, service, and healthcare operation, as these are areas where quality and planned experimentation are being used most
- Contains exercises at the end of each chapter so you can implement what you’ve learned
- Featuers a companion website with software to help you design and analyze experiments, planning forms, graphical plots, and all data files by page number for examples used throughout the book
- Co-written by three winners of the Deming Medal, awarded by the American Society for Quality
- Provides a system for experimental design that is accessible to managers, designers, engineers, scientists, and technicians in all industries
- Focuses on analytic studies, the appropriate framework for quality improvement projects
- Uses almost exclusively graphical methods for analysis of data from studies
