Statistical Process Control May 27, 2007

SPC is a tool used to monitor a process during its operation in order to control the quality of the products while they are being produced, rather than relying on inspection to find problems after the fact.



It involves gathering information about the product, or the process itself, on a near real-time basis so that the process attendant/engineer can take action on the process immediately an out-of-control condition is detected.



SPC identifies special causes of variation and other non-normal processing conditions, thus bringing the process within control, potentially before defective product is actually produced.

Industry examples are discussed throughout this interactive program to demonstrate the technique's relevance to a very wide range of applications, with just enough theory to grab an understanding of the concepts and their origins. Having effective process control techniques implemented drastically reduces scrap, rework and additional costs associated with defective material
