The aim of this book is to provide practical information about quality assurance/
quality control (QA/QC) systems, including definition of all tools, understanding of
their uses, and an increase in knowledge about the practical application of statistical
tools during analytical data treatment.
Although this book is primarily designed for students and academic teachers, it
may also prove useful to the scientific community, particularly among those who
are interested in QA/QC. With its comprehensive coverage, this book can be of particular
interest to researchers in the industry and academia, as well as government
agencies and legislative bodies.
The theoretical part of the book contains information on questions relating to
quality control systems.
The practical part includes more than 60 examples relating to validation parameter
measurements, using statistical tests, calculation of the margin of error, estimating
uncertainty, etc. For all examples, a constructed calculation datasheet (Excel) is
attached, which makes problem solving easier.
The accompanying CD contains more than 60 Excel datasheet files, each consisting
of three main components: problem, data, and solution; in some cases, additional
data such as graphs and conclusions are also included. After saving an Excel file on
the hard disk, it is possible to use it on different data sets. It should be noted that in
order to obtain correct calculations, it is necessary to use it appropriately. The user¡¯s
own data should be copied only into yellow marked cells (be sure that your data set
fits the appropriate datasheet). Solution data will be calculated and can be read from
green marked cells.
We hope that with this book, we can contribute to a better understanding of all
problems connected with QA/QC. |
