This book covers all the latest advances, as well as more established methods, in the application of statistical and optimisation methods within modern industry. These include applications from a range of industries that include micro-electronics, chemical, automotive, engineering, food, component assembly, household goods and plastics. Methods range from basic graphical approaches to generalised modelling, from designed experiments to process control. Solutions cover produce and process design, through manufacture to packaging and delivery, from single responses to multivariate problems.Content:Chapter 1 Introduction: ENBIS, Pro?ENBIS and this Book (pages 1–13): Shirley Coleman, Tony Fouweather and Dave StewardsonChapter 2 A History of Industrial Statistics and Quality and Efficiency Improvement (pages 15–27): Jeroen de MastChapter 3 Statistical Consultancy (pages 29–60): Ronald J.
