Statistical process control in extrusion

Meer over het boek

Statistical process control has become an indispensable tool for improving productivity and quality in plastics manufacturing. This book teaches both the principles of statistical process control and extrusion process technology in an integrated manner. It is intended to help introduce the advances of SPC in extrusion operations and to show how extrusion machinery should be configured to achieve the best performance most efficiently. The book is for all people working in the polymer processing industry, especially those involved in extrusion operations. The mathematics is kept to a minimum, with the exception of a final chapter on advanced statistical techniques. An extensive glossary and comprehensive index are included, and the book contains tables and listings of available software packages. The author, Chris Rauwendaal, is the author of the well-known and widely used guide Polymer Extrusion (Hanser Publishers, 1986).
