Statistical process control part 4: Flowcharts

Creator:: Oregon State University. Extension Service, Leavengood, Scott A., and Reeb, J. E. (James Edmund), 1951-
Abstract:: Flowcharts graphically represent the steps in creating a product or service. The process of creating a chart is often beneficial because personnel may be unaware of all the “nitty-gritty” details involved in producing the product. Also, people often are surprised to learn of the differences between the ideal process flow...

Statistical process control Part 2: How and Why SPC Works

Creator:: Leavengood, Scott A., Reeb, J. E. (James Edmund), 1951-, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: The goal for Part 2 is to build management understanding and confidence in SPC as a profit-making tool. It is unreasonable to expect managers to commit to and support SPC training and implementation if they do not understand what SPC is and how and why it works. This publication discusses...

Understanding names of Oregon trees

Creator:: Leavengood, Scott A. and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: It’s little wonder that people are confused by tree names. Foresters and lay people often name a tree based on its physical appearance, the wood products industry may call the tree by another name based on the characteristics of the wood, and botanists name a tree based on its anatomical...
