  Statistical process control and the use of designed experimentation in industry have led to some remarkable successes in recent years. Many of these have been well-publicized, as has the contribution of statistical method to the development of industrial supremacy in the Pacific Rim nations. Nevertheless, statisticians are often heard to bewail the fact that these methods are not so widely used as they might be. The purpose of this text is therefore to provide a practical guide to the use of statistics in industry. Rather than expounding the underlying theory, the authors have provided insight into what methods can do and how they do it. A data disk is included so that the analyses can be practised immediatly.
