This review is from: Statistical Quality Design and Control (Paperback)
I feel sorry that many people who want to learn statistical concepts and design of experiments will not look for this book, since it feels like an engineering book. In reality, chapters 3, 4, and part III of this book teaches these concepts very gently and with easy to follow examples. I wish the writers write books on other statistical techniques as well.
This book is probably already well-known for teaching statistical quality control techniques.

This review is from: Statistical Quality Design and Control (Paperback)
This book starts with a fascinating history of statistical process control (SPC). Then it moves along nicely through process measurement and control, and finishes with a fine treatment of design of experiments (DOE). It assumes a rudimentary understanding of statistics.
I felt that the book's strongest point was its use of real-world examples. In addition to giving a context to the material, it also provided a way to walk one through the calculations and results. Finally, the analysis of the results had meaning, and allowed the authors to show which parameters were important to the process, and which could be ignored.
Finally, this was a very good read. At no point during the 900+ pages did I think, "when will this ever end". I can't remember the last time I felt that way about what is essentially a textbook.
