Data can tell you how well your process is doing or how badly. Your process may have too much variation in it because of special causes. SPC can tell you when to investigate these causes. SPC control charts will help you and your team decide if the variation comes from special causes or common causes.

Objectives:
In this course you will: identify the purpose of and advantages of using SPC to control a process, learn what SPC is and how it differs from the usual method of quality contr...

From the history of SPC to the difference between common cause and special cause variation, this course describes how to use SPC to measure and control process variation. Run Charts and Control Charts are illustrated and defined, and the rules for interpreting the charts are described in detail. Finally, the course discusses how Control Charts can be used to assess variation and take action to improve processes.
