Designed for the quality professional with a basic understanding of traditional SPC, this book presents solutions for the problems encountered when trying to apply traditional control charting techniques in a complex manufacturing environment. Anyone using SPC who has felt limited by its traditional methods will find this book timely and beneficial. Along with basic SPC topics such as, control chart theories, process capability studies, data collection strategies, and sampling, this book concentrates on describing tools which solve the limitations of traditional SPC techniques. Specifically designed for those who face the challenges of limited data collection opportunities, small production runs, multiple characteristics, and demanding manufacturing situations, Innovative Control Charting will become a favorite, modern SPC reference. Benefits: Discover how SPC can be effectively applied even with complex parts, numerous part dimensions, similar but different characteristics, and small lot sizes. Learn how to overcome the three main limitations of traditional SPC techniques. Explore new SPC techniques in a step-by-step analysis approach using real-life examples.

Macrologistics Management defines the term "Macrologistics" as a means for designing a catalyst for change in any organization. The "macro" approach means seeing the big picture-to use time and place strategies for competitive advantage. It is a "breakthrough" strategy because it prioritizes "logistics" selection as a key factor in developing customer satisfaction and market penetration. Traditional management approaches the product and cost savings as key factors in their strategy. This book demonstrates how new approaches can be even more effective and more profitable-it will help you achieve complete transformation in your organization through a systematic process for managing change and by using carefully prioritized change management strategies. The framework for change, as explained in this book, is one where continuous monitoring is facilitated by a relevant and responsive information system, workers and managers are empowered and rewarded for innovation, and leaders encourage a passion for change. With Macrologistics Management you will learn how to unleash new sources of synergy-ways for various groups involved with the organization to work together-that help promote creativity and motivate an effective and rapid revolution in your workplace!
