Multisensor Instrumentation 6σ Design: Defined Accuracy Computer-Integrated Measurement SystemsA groundbreaking book based on a landmark quality initiative In today's information-driven enterprises, accuracy is essential in computer-integrated measurement and control systems, where academia, government, and industry invest considerable resources in methodologies for achieving and maintaining high performance. Multisensor Instrumentation 6σ Design offers a blueprint-drawn from the author's thirty years of experience at federal laboratories, steel producers, and General Electric-for defined-accuracy computer-based measurement and control instrumentation. Based on GE's Six-Sigma initiative, which was described by GE Chairman and CEO Jack Welch as "the most important initiative this company has ever undertaken," it presents a proven methodology for defining, measuring, analyzing, improving, and controlling the quality of enterprise products, processes, and transactions. Multisensor Instrumentation 6σ Design offers readers:
An important resource for electrical and computer engineering students and practitioners, as well as professionals in such fields as manufacturing, biotechnology, and process systems, Multisensor Instrumentation 6σ Design is universally applicable to all fields that employ real-time computer integration of processes and transactions. An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department. |
