Description

Statistical Process Control (SPC) is an analytical decision making tool which allows you to see when a process is in control (working correctly) and when it is out of control. SPC gives us the ability to identify, control, and reduce the variation that is present in all processes and is a key component to continual process improvement.

This class describes the main concepts of statistical process control.

Topics Covered

• Introduction To Statistical Process Control



• Introducing The Control Chart



• Chart Interpretation



• Process Capability



• Summary Statistics



• Manufacturing Process Control

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Better understand variation in processes including patterns and measures of variation.



• Determine what to sample, sampling frequency, and sample size



• Understand common causes of variation and special assignable causes of variation.



• Understand control charts (components, interpretation, and use in decision-making).



• Monitor and control variation with variable and attribute control charts.



• Describe basic process capability



• Control and evaluate processes them using a distribution.



• Understand standard deviation.



• Identify common SPC challenges and how to avoid them

Who Should Attend

Operators, engineers, supervisors, and managers who will be using control charts in their jobs.
