The second edition, co-authored with Dean Neubauer, updates and improves upon the first. ! There are several additions and updates to the second edition ! This book is a comprehensive collection of acceptance sampling methods and is an excellent mix of theory and application. !some may tend to think that acceptance sampling is not as important as it was in the past. However, with a world economy and ever-improving technology, the relationship between customers and suppliers has changed dramatically with distance, cultures, and language all having an impact. This makes acceptance sampling as important as ever and this book as relevant as ever. --Journal of Quality Technology, Vol. 41, No. 4, October 2009
