Gerald Hahn is retired from GE Research and Development where he headed the corporate group that did research in applied statistics and operations research and worked in the organization for nearly 28 years. He has always been a great leader in the advancement of statistical methods in industry and has contributed by authoring books on modern engineering statistics and statistical intervals. He worked and provided leadership in reliability, quality control including the six sigma movement under the corporate leadership of Jack Welch.
Necip Doganaksoy worked under the mentorship of Gerry Hahn at GE and has made major contributions both under the leadership of Gerry Hahn and now Roger Hoerl.
Based on many years of experience and exposure to the real world problems of GE, the authors have put together a very applicable text on the role of statistics in business and industry. The book describes many of the key problems that they were exposed to during their careers. They start by describing specific problems that are common in manufacturing and test design. They determine the key questions to address and then describe the statistical methods that are employed to solve these problems.
This book is based on many years of experience in consulting and as key members of the GE Research and Development Group in Schenectady.
