Beyond Normal Capability

This is the end all / be all to capability analysis. I don't care what the other reviewers have written. This book addresses every type of capability type analysis in detail. Normal, Non-Normal, Attribute, etc. The author addresses various capability indices. Every chapter has multiple pages that have specific examples that demonstrate clearly these capability examples for various manufacturing(mainly) and non-manufacturing industries. I use this text to base my teaching / workshop classes on and it is great! The prerequisite is that you have some SPC background, real world, why else would you read this! This should be on every process / quality / design / product engineer's library! Thanks Mr. Bothe!

A Cookbook for SPC Practitioner

I think this quite a cookbook for any SPC practitioner. It helps me to handle the daily problems that I may encounter; I can take less effort. However, this book is quite difficult for beginners in SPC. I highly recommend quality and process related engineers to buy one for resolving their problems.

It is so good I'm buying 5 more for my peers

I'm quite impress with the amount of information that I have at my finger tips. I'm ordering 5 more and have introduced the book at one of my manufacturing sites and it is a must read for them.

A MUST read book for Practicing Engineers

This book significantly bridges the gap between the knowledge of Process Capability Study and the actual practical situations. The book is written in such a way that is easy for any working adult to gain quick insight to this important topic without much of the mathematical burden. It is extremely rewarding to use it as a working guide as well as reference to more difficult topics in real situations. I recommend this book to all Engineering undergrads in particular.
