Book excerpt: "In the early 1990s, the process industries recognized that they would face a major staffing shortage because of the large number of "baby boomer" employees who would be retiring. Industry partnered with community colleges, technical colleges, and universities to remedy this situation. These collaborators in education and industry recognized that pre-training for process technicians would benefit industry by reducing the costs associated with training and traditional hiring methods. They recognized that teachers needed consistent curriculum content and exit competencies in order to produce process technology graduates who would be knowledgeable, competent, and able to take over the demands of the field. This was how the NAPTA series on Process Technology was born"--

Download or read book Process Quality Control written by Ellis R. Ott and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2005-02-08 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ellis Ott taught generations of quality practitioners to be explorers of the truth through the collection and graphical portrayal of data. From a simple plea to "plot the data" to devising a graphical analytical tool called the analysis of means (ANOM), Ott demonstrated that process knowledge is to be gained by seeking the information contained within the data.In this newest version of Ott's classic text, the authors have strived to continue down the path that he created for others to follow. Additions to this revised edition include: the use of dot plots as an alternative to histograms; digidot plots; adding events to charts; emphasis on the role that acceptance control charts play in controlling risks and the computation of average run length (ARL); a new chapter devoted to process capability, process performance, and process improvement, including the use of confidence intervals for process capability metrics; narrow-limit gauging as another means of assessing the capability of a process; Six Sigma methodology; design resolution; scatter plot matrices as applied to datasets of higher dimensions; and a new chapter on measurement studies.

Book excerpt: "To achieve consistency of exit competencies among graduates from different schools and regions, the North American Process Technology Alliance identified a core technical curriculum for the Associate Degree in Process Technology. This core consists of eight technical courses and is taught in alliance member institutions throughout the United States. Instructors who teach the process technology core curriculum, and who are recognized in industry for their years of experience and depth of subject matter expertise, requested that a textbook be developed to match the standardized curriculum. A broad range of reviewers from process industries and educational institutions participated in the production of these materials so that the presentation of content would address the widest audience possible. This textbook is intended to provide a common national standard reference for the Instrumentation course in the Process Technology degree program"--

Download or read book Process Capability Analysis written by Neil W. Polhemus and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Process Capability Analysis: Estimating Quality presents a systematic exploration of process capability analysis and how it may be used to estimate quality. The book is designed for practitioners who are tasked with insuring a high level of quality for the products and services offered by their organizations. Along with describing the necessary statistical theory, the book illustrates the practical application of the techniques to data that do not always satisfy the standard assumptions. The first two chapters deal with attribute data, where the estimation of quality is restricted to counts of nonconformities. Both classical and Bayesian methods are discussed. The rest of the book deals with variable data, including extensive discussions of both capability indices and statistical tolerance limits. Considerable emphasis is placed on methods for handling non-normal data. Also included are discussions of topics often omitted in discussions of process capability, including multivariate capability indices, multivariate tolerance limits, and capability control charts. A separate chapter deals with the problem of determining adequate sample sizes for estimating process capability. Features:  Comprehensive treatment of the subject with consistent theme of estimating percent of nonconforming product or service.  Includes Bayesian methods.  Extension of univariate techniques to multivariate data.  Demonstration of all techniques using Statgraphics data analysis software. Neil Polhemus is Chief Technology Officer at Statgraphics Technology and the original developer of the Statgraphics program for statistical analysis and data visualization. Dr. Polhemus spent 6 years on the faculty of the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Princeton University before moving full-time to software development and consulting. He has taught courses dealing with statistical process control, design of experiments and data analysis for more than 100 companies and government agencies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The financial markets industry is at the same crossroads as the automotive industry in the late 1970s. Margins are collapsing and customization is rapidly increasing. The automotive industry turned to quality and its no coincidence that in the money management industry many of the spectacular failures have been due largely to problems in quality control. The financial industry in on the verge of a quality revolution. New and old firms alike are creating new investment vehicles and new strategies that are radically changing the nature of the industry. To compete, mutual funds, hedge fund industries, banks and proprietary trading firms are being forced to quicklyy research, test and implement trade selection and execution systems. And, just as in the early stages of factory automation, quality suffers and leads to defects. Many financial firms fall short of quality, lacking processes and methodologies for proper development and evaluation of trading and investment systems. Authors Kumiega and Van Vliet present a new step-by-step methodology for such development. Their methodology (called K Presents a robust process engineering framework for developing and evaluating trading and investment systems Best practices along the step-by-step process will mitigate project risk, model risk, and ensure data quality Includes a quality model for backtesting and managing market risk of working systems
