Well written book within 500 pages. Dr. Ryan has done a great job in presenting the material without much mathematical details. A good reference for any one from industry and can be good text for University.

This is the best book in statistical quality control. A very good start for undergraduates. However, problems are not suitable for mathematicians because they are very very simple. The logic behind quality control is best presented in this book. I wish the author can increase the number of problems in this book by adding some difficult excercises.
