The various methods range from graphical approaches to generalised modelling, and from designed experiments to process control. Statistical Practice in Business and Industry presents the latest advances in the application of statistical and optimisation methods within modern industry, alongside more established methods. Methods are demonstrated across a wide range of real-life applications from fields including finance, e-commerce, micro-electronics, chemical and automotive engineering, component assembly, household goods and plastics manufacturing. Each topic is investigated by an expert in that field, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of how statistical methods benefit business and industry.
