Inhaltsangabe

A measurement is only as useful as the decision it supports.
Applied Metrology and Quality Engineering in Manufacturing connects measurement science, inspection practice, and statistical quality methods in one practical framework. It shows how reliable data moves from the measuring instrument to the uncertainty statement, from the engineering drawing to the inspection plan, and from the production process to a defensible acceptance decision.

Readers will learn how to:

• distinguish accuracy, precision, error, resolution, and uncertainty
• build uncertainty budgets and interpret calibration and traceability
• apply dimensional tolerancing, fits, tolerance stack-up, and GD&T
• select and use hand instruments, fixed gauges, CMMs, and optical or non-contact systems
• evaluate measurement systems with gauge R&R and related MSA methods
• use control charts, process capability, and acceptance sampling appropriately and
• connect measurement results to control plans, problem solving, and modern quality systems.

Worked calculations, technical figures, chapter summaries, practice problems, and answer material support both classroom study and independent review. The book is written for upper-level undergraduate and early graduate engineering students, as well as practicing engineers, inspectors, metrologists, and quality professionals.
