DESCRIPTION:
Cox in The Midwest Book Review , February 2007 . …provides management with a cogent, comprehensive, informed explanation of how inspection of products by high-tech methods can save money for a manufacturer and how to explain and justify the necessary expenses associated with product testing to upper management and stockholders….A Superbly organized and presented introduction and instruction manual on this specialized aspect of manufacturing, 'Financial Justification on Nondestructive Testing' is a core addition to profession, corporate, and academic library quality control reference collections and supplemental reading lists.- James A
He includes a forum of arguments, for and against, on the use of NDT; covers how NDT relates to quality standards like ISO-9000; and provides new examples of successful NDT. Therefore, justifying proposals for new methods and equipment that may seemingly add a modicum of cost to the production process can be problematic. The book draws on examples from real life, demonstrating use of 100% NDT in factory situations when proven justified by financial calculations. Obtaining finance is key to the implementation of NDT, yet financial calculations are often the stumbling block to getting the needed approvals. Financial Justification of Nondestructive Testing not only explains how 100% inspection by high-tech methods can save money for a manufacturing organization, but also explains how to justify this cost to upper management.
