Common Sense Statistical Process Control

Control Chart

Common Sense Statistical Process Control

Applied Basic SPC

This practical, hands-on workshop gives every employee the skills necessary to monitor their own quality and participate in Six Sigma and TQM efforts.

The seminar takes a common-sense approach that applies to assembly and administrative as well as machining and process operations. It provides a common language and approach for discussion of process issues and process improvement.

Introduction

How SPC & Six Sigma can prevent errors before they occur.
How assemblers in a window factory reduced their defect rate by 95% using attribute charts.

Variation & Process Capability

The nature of variation -- why no two things are, ever, exactly alike.
The difference between Control and Specification Limits and how their relationship determines process quality.
How to distinguish Inherent Variation from Assignable Variation.

Attributes & Variables

How to use Attributes and Variables to measure the control of ANY process.

Variable Control Charts

To use simple run charts for easy monitoring.
How to plot X-BAR-R charts and interpret them for improved control.
Five signs of an out-of-control process and what to do when these signs appear.
Why a process may be out of control but still produce acceptable quality.

Attribute Control Charts

To use attribute charts for difficult-to-measure features.
Five types of Attribute charts and how to select the most appropriate chart.

When, What & Why To Chart
