MEP Courses Statistical process control (SPC) involves using statistics - numbers and data - to measure and control the quality of a process. Manufacturers use SPC to reduce reject rates, save money and time, and ultimately consistently deliver products that meet customers' requirements. In this all-day workshop, which includes numerous hands-on activities and realistic examples, you'll learn about SPC concepts that you can easily apply to your everyday work in manufacturing or quality.
Course Objectives:
- Define statistical process control and explain why companies use it to control quality
- Calculate measures of central tendency and variability
- Create and interpret histograms
- Describe the elements of a control chart, including the process location and control limits
- Explain the difference between control limits and specification limits
- Create and interpret I/MR and Xbar & R control charts
- Calculate control limits for control charts
- Explain the differences between common cause variation and special cause variation
- Identify if special cause variation is present in a control chart
- Define process capability and explain how it differs from statistical control
- Calculate and interpret capability indices, including Cpk, Cp, Ppk, and Pp
Recommended Background
- Recommended for individuals in manufacturing and quality roles who:have existing knowledge of mathematics for manufacturing, quality tools, and quality concepts.
