Zontec's popular Book of Statistical Process Control is now available as a free downloadable eBook to members of the quality assurance community.

The complimentary eBook is being offered in connection with the publication of the second edition of the reference guide, which will be available in print on August 1, 2010. The second edition marks the fifth printing of The Book of Statistical Process Control since its initial release in 2002.

Written for the non-statistician, the book helps to demystify SPC methods, techniques and calculations by emphasizing its value as an important quality improvement tool and driver of business success.

The 206-page work draws on Zontec's 25+ years of experience with manufacturing applications, SPC software development and automating data collection from plant floor systems and hardware devices. Each chapter is filled with many examples, charts, tables, diagrams and checksheets that can be readily adapted within the reader's own environment.

Anyone from the production line to the boardroom can appreciate the addition of The Book of Statistical Process Control to their Quality Department resource library.
