Multistage Process Control

Today, with the assistance of information
technology, market globalization can be realized.
Nevertheless, manufacturing quality is still a decisive
factor for global market competition, and exploring an
effective statistical method for improving process quality
in a complex manufacturing system is an issue. Yet, the
impact of information technology on statistical process
control has not been well recognized. Therefore,
statistical quality technology in multistage process
control and the impact of information technology on
statistical process control are discussed. In this book, a
method will be introduced and a set of guidelines will be
proposed to improve the overall process capability in a
multistage process. Two real case examples are used to
demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.
In addition, the impact of web-based applications on
statistical process control is also evaluated by analytical
tools, such as SWOT analysis, activity- based costing
analysis, simulation and design of experiment. This book
is written for anyone who is in either academics or the
industry and interested in multistage process control.
