Now entitled Statistical Process Control and Data Analytics, this revised and updated eighth edition retains its focus on processes that require understanding, have variation, must be properly controlled, have a capability and need improvement – as reflected in the five sections of the book. In this book the authors provide not only an instructional guide for the tools but communicate the management practices which have become so vital to success in organizations throughout the world. The book is supported by the authors’ extensive consulting work with thousands of organizations worldwide. A new chapter on data governance and data analytics reflects the increasing importance of Big Data in today’s business environment. Fully updated to include real-life case studies, new research based on client work from an array of industries and integration with the latest computer methods and software, the book also retains its valued textbook quality through clear learning objectives and online end-of-chapter discussion questions. It can still serve as a textbook for both student and practicing engineers, scientists, technologists, managers and anyone wishing to understand or implement modern statistical process control techniques and data analytics. ‘Big Data’ (very large complex data sets, sometimes explained by the use of five Vs: volume, variety, veracity, value and velocity), Machine Learning (ML), robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing will continue to greatly impact industry and business organization models. The amount of data is constantly growing, but learning from more data depends massively on the data being collected and used correctly if we are not going to see increases in variation in processes through lack of understanding of aggregated or filtered data with selected algorithms.
