Definition of SPC Statistical process control (SPC) is the application of statistical techniques to determine whether the output of a process conforms to the product or service design.
Common causes of variation Process Distribution for the Box-Filling Machine When Only Common Causes of Variation Are Present
R-chart A range chart, or R-chart, is used to monitor process variability.
x-Charts An x-chart (read " x-bar chart") is used to measure the mean.
p-Charts The p-chart is a commonly used control chart for attributes.
c-Charts When management is interested in reducing the number of defects per unit, another type of control chart, the c-chart, is useful.
Conclusion • Definition of Statistical Process Control • Common causes and assignable causes of variation • Control charts • Type I and Type II Errors • R, x, p, and c charts • Process Distribution • = Quality Control and Lower Costs
