Review

Praise for the Second Edition: ... a very well-presented book, covering the classic topics of inspection sampling in a thorough, lucid and insightful way. ... [It] is an elegant and comprehensive resource for the knowledgeable user, and so well written that the beginner will also find it congenial and rewarding... --John Shade, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society [The] first edition of Acceptance Sampling in Quality Control is a classic, and is considered by many as a "must have book" for anyone working in quality control. ... With the current expectations of continuous improvement, [and] rigorous process control ...some may tend to think that acceptance sampling is not as important as it was in the past. However, with a world economy and ever improving technology, the relationship between customers and suppliers has changed dramatically with distance, cultures, and language all having an impact. This makes acceptance sampling as important as ever and this book as relevant as ever. --Theresa L. Utlaut, Journal of Quality Technology This is a very well-presented book, covering the classic topics of inspection sampling in a thorough, lucid and insightful way. the tasks that this book addresses remain important. it is very worthwhile to have this up-to-date work, one which does include a contemporary discussion of limitations and pitfalls of sampling, as well as of benefits. This book is an elegant and comprehensive resource for the knowledgeable user, and so well written that the beginner will also find it congenial and rewarding John Shade, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series A, Vol. 174, October 2011 the second edition of the book is an excellent reference for anyone who wants to implement quality control on the factory floor. Journal of the American Statistical Association, Vol. 105, No. 492, December 2010 Like the first edition, this one remains a comprehensive one and includes a few new topics This new edition continues to be equally useful for both practitioners and researchers in the arena of statistical quality control. At the end of each chapter, there are some problems, with the solutions given at the end of the text, which make it a suitable candidate for a textbook adoption. I think it will be a nice addition to your personal library!

The second edition, co-authored with Dean Neubauer, updates and improves upon the first. There are several additions and updates to the second edition This book is a comprehensive collection of acceptance sampling methods and is an excellent mix of theory and application. some may tend to think that acceptance sampling is not as important as it was in the past.
