Overview

Statistical Process Control charts have been called the Voice of the Process. Progressive manufacturers utilize control charts to "listen" to their processes so that potentially harmful changes will be quickly detected and rectified.

However, not all SPC programs deliver to their highest capability as there are many elements to get right to achieve maximum utility. Highly effective SPC programs combine technical competencies, such as using an appropriate chart and sample size for the application, with effective management techniques such as enabling operator buy-in and involvement. This webinar provides a comprehensive introduction to SPC methods and tools to help you deploy an effective SPC program.

Why you should attend

The participants will gain a detailed understanding of Statistical Process Control. Various types of control charts and their applications will be discussed. The webinar will cover chart construction, chart interpretation, and ongoing management of the monitoring process. Methods for assessing Process Capability are also covered including the handling of non-normal data.

Modern manufacturing processes often need specialized charting techniques and some of these will be introduced. An understanding of the concepts and methods in this webinar are essential to allow SPC to be implemented effectively so that the expected benefits may be realized.
