Historical project improved quality control in steel production, suggesting Peirce's frameworks promote clarity.
This paper provides a first-person historical account of a project at John Lysaght Australia in the early 1980s to improve real-time quality control for coating large sheet metal coils using a Peirce-inspired software system, called Westec. This program gave a statistical analysis involving around a thousand variables while creating an output that is easily understandable by workers not versed in statistics. The program proved cheap to implement, successful, and shows a practical application of Peirce's pragmatism as well as his semeiotics.
