SPC books for engineers who are just getting into SPC
I'm looking for opinions......
I want to buy books for some engineers who are just getting into SPC... some reading matter that will help them with some of the technical stuff.
I had found that "Understanding Statistical Process Control" by Don Wheeler and David Chambers to be just the right balance.
Unfortunately this appears to have gone out of print.
Anybody got any ideas for a suitable replacement?
Thanks
Dave

What you are doing is great!! Engineer's need to know SPC! 
I had that book in my first SPC class. I still have it now next to me at my desk. However, I was not overly impressed with it.
In the book, they change the name of standard terms, which makes it hard at times to follow.
But the question becomes, how basic are you starting with them? Is it as if they have never heard of SPC?

Obviously they have heard of SPC, but never ever used it before.
I took some through their first training this week, so they now know how to construct charts and perform basic analysis.
I want to leave them with suitable reference material that has a practical edge.

Bookwise, I find Statistical Process Control by John S. Oakland & Roy F. Followell very good.

The ones I have used are:
1. Statistical Quality Control - by Grant & Leavenworth
2. Introduction to Statistical Quality Control - Montgomery
There's one more very basic, introductory book I had used. Unfortunately I don't remember the name/author just now. I'll try to remember and post the name.

Just my humble opinion, but any person that far ahead with a decent educational background could use the AIAG SPC and MSA manuals to get the job completed.
