Abstract

We show an application of the SPQR Principle [«Semper Paratus ad Qualitatem et Rationem (“Always Ready for Quality and Rationality”)»] as the way to analyse papers and books; it seems that very few people have taken care of Quality of Methods (Deming, Juran, Gell-Mann, Shewhart, Einstein, Galilei). The case analysed here is about a Design of Experiment application to Large-Scale Metrology and to Control Charts.
