Customer Reviews

Excellent reference book

This book is a great compendium of the QE skills set. It is a little weak on the Statistical skills that the ASC test demands.

Great Resource

Why I initialy purchased it as a study aid, I have found it to be an excellent resource providing practical examples for on the job use.

Good book - can be found cheaper

New @ asq.org for less. Why is it so much higher here?

Useful and Good But ...

As other reviewers mentioned, Pyzdek can help you make it over the CQE exam hurdle. In fact it is probably helpful for those who wish to clear the CQM or CQT hurdles. It may aslo be a helpful supplament for Six-Sigma folks. The volume also serves competently as a handbook and reference. Importantly, it includes an adequate bibilography so that the reader can easily pursue more specialized or more fundamental soruces.But ...Neither the material nor the presentation distinguishes this book from its many competitors.Too often the index enties have incorrect page numbers. In an age of computer automated indexing, mistakes of this kind really grate on a reader who expects more. Further, a quality handbook should set a better example!

A concise study book for taking and passing the CQE test.

This book has just the right amount of pictures and charts to balance the text. I wanted a study book that would be used as a day to day reference and something that I could use during my CQE test to "jog" my memory. The numerous graphs help me to answer generic SPC problems better than all that verbage found in other "helpful texts".
