SPC – Statistical Process Control

Statistical Process Control (SPC) is an essential method in quality management for monitoring and controlling production processes. Used primarily in mass production, SPC ensures consistent product quality and prevents defects before they significantly affect the production flow. Its implementation contributes directly to reducing variability and improving overall efficiency.

Essential Information:

  • Duration: 2 days
  • Recommended participants: 5-10
  • Level: Advanced / Statistical Analysis

Target Audience:

  • Technical staff from production, quality, engineering, maintenance, or management departments.
  • Personnel involved in internal system, process, or product audits.
  • Entrepreneurs and Consultants.
  • Employees interested in professional development and rigorous process control.

Learning Objectives

At the end of the training, participants will be able to:

  • Work with process location and variation indicators.
  • Practically acquire the techniques for constructing all types of control charts based on the specific nature of the data.
  • Understand process capability and methods for improvement through centering or variation reduction.
  • Conduct SPC studies with MINITAB for stability and/or process capability analysis.
