Statistical Process Control

Statistical methods for quality control and production process monitoring

Statistical process control (SPC) refers to a number of different methods for monitoring and assessing the quality of manufactured goods. Combined with methods from the design of experiments, SPC is used in programs that define, measure, analyze, improve, and control development and production processes. These programs are often implemented using “Design for Six Sigma” methodologies.
