A concise study book for taking and passing the CQE test.
4 Oct 1996
Format:Hardcover
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".

OK - but just
11 Jan 2002
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book to prepare for the ASQ CQE exam. This was my primary reference book and I did pass the exam - so there must be some merit to this book. However, it is frustrating. My criticisms include:
- the index doesn't point to the right pages, making it very difficult to use (especially in an open book exam)
- some of the graphs have no labelling at all (Fig IV.28)
- some material is repeated (eg central limit theorem)
This book has some good stuff in it and is aimed at getting you through the CQE exam. It will also be useful for a practicing quality engineer. However, it is in many cases separate articles, procedures and discussions stuck together with little flow. A good review and editing would do a lot for this book.

Useful and Good But ...
20 Sep 2002
Format:Hardcover
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!
