Methods used to evaluate R&amp;R studies have changed since this book was first published. This second edition provides instruction that reflects current manufacturing practices. The relationship of the two basic measurement capability indices and process capability has been clarified in this new edition. This development supports the concept that measurement evaluation should be performed in conjunction with process capability assessments in order to fully judge the status and priority of measurement systems. Since the last edition, using software to analyze statistics has become a more common practice. Barrentine demonstrates examples of the proper methods for applying statistical software to R&amp;R studies.

Since 1996, Lee Jenkins' Improving Student Learning has led the way in teaching educators how to improve performance through the use of quality principles. Now Jenkins has updated his best-seller, adding more examples and simplifying the content to make it easier for anyone to implement the concepts. Teachers and administrators alike will find the information in this book invaluable, as they use the concepts to improve performance and productivity in their schools. 
Through his previous work as a school administrator and his current role as a consultant, Jenkins has seen first hand what it takes to make these techniques work in schools. The second edition draws from his experience with many more examples for every level, from pre-school through graduate school, covering a wide variety of subjects. Teachers will find many examples of how other teachers have successfully used these concepts in their classrooms, and administrators will see how school-wide and district-wide implementations are being conducted.
