Quality and time and valuable commodities for all manufacturers. Basic use of statistical process control (SPC) enables you to improve both quality and efficiency. But when you take SPC analysis to the next level, you get even greater benefits.

Statistical process control provides enough information and depth to optimize even the most complex processes. It’s also easy to get lost in the weeds of SPC analysis. Here’s how to stay focused on your goals. 

Your process is in control. Congratulations! Now how do you keep it in control? Employ these SPC methodologies to maintain a stable process.

The holiday season is over. You made it! You can take a breath. You are ready for the hustle and bustle of 2020. There will be new projects, challenges, and successes.

How do you pick the best control chart for your specific situation? Start with a solid understanding of why you’re collecting the data.

Learn seven key considerations for designing a sampling plan that incorporates proper sampling frequency and rational subgrouping.

Modern SPC software solutions provide numerous benefits as they provide visual information in the form of control charts to reveal abnormalities in manufacturing processes.

Manufacturing data come from many sources and in many formats. A software solution can link these fragmented data sources and is a key aid in producing a higher quality product.

To compare and align products and processes—even processes running on different lines and in different plants—take a look at the versatile box-and-whisker chart.

Collecting SPC data shouldn’t be just another task to add to your operators’ checklists. Give operators the power to use information—in real time—and positively impact quality.
