Description

This book brings a fresh new approach to practical problem solving in engineering. It covers the critical concepts and ideas that engineers must understand to solve engineering problems. When engineers graduate, they enter the work force with only one part of what?s needed to effectively solve problems — Problem solving requires not just subject matter expertise but an additional knowledge of strategy. With the combination of both knowledge of subject matter and knowledge of strategy, engineering problems can be attacked efficiently. The book focuses on developing a strategy for minimizing, eliminating, and finally controlling variation such that the intentional variation is truly is representative of the variables of interest.
