All true Kris. I was waxing on a bit with the superiority of LDP over SPCS. They both have a place.You mention people creating train wrecks... I never...
The genius of SPCS was apparent in the industrial era. In the technology era we find ourselves in today, they seem out of date. If anyone is doing any...
you have to make more steps to convert your measurements to SPC than I do to convert my measurements to LDP, which is zero.My LDP can be redesigned wi...
