Statistical Process Control (SPC)
Overview
This 1-day practical SPC training course will provide delegates with a basic knowledge and understanding of the principles of Statistical Process Control and the methodologies for performing capability studies. The course is highly practical and avoids detailed knowledge or discussion of statistical theory.
Statistical Process Control (SPC) is defined as the use of statistical techniques to control a process or production method. It is a key element of the Lean Six Sigma methodology.
SPC is an optimisation philosophy:
-
Is concerned with continuous process improvement
-
Uses a collection of (statistical) tools and techniques for data and process analysis making inferences about process behaviour.
-
Is a key element of Total Quality Management (TQM) initiatives
-
It seeks to maximise profit by improving product quality, improving productivity, streamlining business processes, and reducing waste and variation.
SPC tools and techniques can help monitor business process behaviour, discover issues in internal systems, and find solutions for production issues.
