Statistical Process Control (SPC)
All of our training courses and programs are "hands-on", and are offered at the client's facility (on-site), anywhere in the world.
Course Description
Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a method for monitoring, improving and controlling processes by collecting, charting and analyzing data from a product characteristic (response) or process variable (independent variable). Improvement to a process comes from identifying and eliminating "special cause" variation. Making process changes reduces "common cause" variation. This course will teach how to identify both types of variation.

This classical SPC course teaches the application of Shewhart control charts, but we take it a step further. With the integration of other tools necessary to establish a preventive and continuous plan to control input variables (critical machine parameters, significant process variables) are controlled and output variables (product characteristics) are monitored. This maintains process stability, capability and ensures that it remains defect-free.

The integration of SPC (control charts) with other tools such as Positrol Plans and Positrol Logs, Corrective Action Logs and Unnatural Action Plans, Linearity Charts, Preventive Maintenance Plans and Work Standards, launched the Total Control Methodology (TCM). TCM was implemented at Motorola (starting in late 1980s), in production as the final stage and culmination of a Machine/Process Capability study.

We are Proud of Our "Hands-On" Training Approach
We take participants through lectures in which they learn the tools, methods, and concepts. Then, we help them to apply the tools to their own processes.

This is, by far, the most efficient way to learn the application of statistical process control methods.
