The intention of this book is to teach SPC and its application to specific processes in an integrated fashion. Many SPC training programs are taught by people that are very familiar with statistics but know little about process technology. However, successful implementation of SPC requires an understanding of SPC as well as process know-how. This book, therefore, aims to teach not only the principles of SPC, but also basic injection molding and extrusion process technology.

An extensive glossary and index are included as well as lists of commercially available software for SPC and DOE.

Contents:
• Injection Molding Technology
• Extrusion Technology
• Plastics and Plastics Properties Important in Injection Molding and Extrusion
• Introduction to Statistical Process Control
• Data Collection, Data Analysis, and Problem Solving Measurement
• Control Charts
• Process Capability and Special SPC Techniques for Molding and Extrusion
• Other Tools to Improve Process Control. Appendices.

“…everything he or she needs to successfully understand and apply SPC in extrusion and injection molding manufacturing operations.” - David Hadden
