Has SPC 2nd. Edition been released?

Hi! SilverHawk

Latest manual of Statistical Process Control (SPC) is: 1st edition, 2nd printing.
2nd edition is expected Q1 of 2004. It will be released soon so, you must be aware of it...

Just got off the phone with AIAG
SPC 2nd edition should be out by the end of the month. PPAP 4th edition in July. I said I would wait to order until then and they wanted to sell me the old revs anyway :mg: For now I will just use what I got

I am just wondering - if I want to self-study these subjects (for my own interest and for better success while applying for auto mfg jobs), if any of the core manuals are available on this website or if anyone would be willing to share them, hard or soft copy.

I know I can get them from AIAG but would probably set me back by a good amount. I can't afford that, since I would be paying out of my own pocket. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hello ady_mech,

Sorry, the Core Tool manuals are the copyrighted property of AIAG. The Cove has very strict rules about requesting copyrighted materials. Here is an idea: Do you know someone who is associated with- or works at an automotive-supplier company? You may ask if you can borrow the manuals. Also, contact the local ASQ Chapter, go to the meeting, and ask if someone is willing to help you out. There's always a way.....

Search the threads and posts...lots of good stuff about Core Tools.
