    Content: Irrigation management transfer (HAT) is an important strategy among donors and governments that aims to strengthen farmer control over water and irrigation infrastructure. In this study. we use data from a survey of 68 irrigator associations (IAs) and 1020 farm households in the Philippines to examine the impact of IMT on irrigation association performance and on rice yields We find that the presence of IMT is associated with an increase in maintenance activities undertaken by irrigation associations While associations with and without IMT contracts undertake canal maintenance. the frequency of maintenance in IMT IAs is higher IMT presence is also associated with an increase in farm yields by about 6%, rice production in IMT areas is higher even after we control for various differences amongst rice farmers in IMT and non-IMT areas Finally. IMT may even give poorer farmers a small boost in terms of rice yields We speculate that this boost may be a result of improved water delivery and better resolution of conflicts related to illegal use.

    Content: Control charts are widely used in industry to monitor processes that are far from Zero-Defect (ZD), and their use in a near Zero-Defect manufacturing environment poses many problems. This book presents techniques of using control charts for high-quality processes, and some recent findings and applications of statistical control chart techniques for ZD processes are presented. A powerful technique based on counting of the cumulative conforming (CCC) items between two nonconforming ones is discussed in detail. Extensions of the CCC chart are described, as well as applications of cumulative sum and exponentially weighted moving average techniques to CCC-related data, multivariate methods, economic design of control chart procedures, and modeling and analysis of trended but regularly adjusted processes. Many examples, charts, and procedures, are presented throughout the book, and references are provided for those interested in exploring the details. A number of questions and issues are posed for further investigations. Researchers and students may find many ideas in this book useful in their academic work, as a foundation is laid for the exploration of many further theoretical and practical issues
