About This Course

Control charts are tools that are used to monitor and control variation in processes. Control charts enable operators to determine if the variation in a process is due to expected common causes or if something unexpected has happened to change the expected output. With this information, an operator can then decide whether or not to adjust the process.

Selecting and setting up the right type of SPC control chart for a given process is crucial to getting the most benefit from statistical process control.

With Advanced Advanced Control Charts online training, your in-house experts will be able to apply advanced statistical techniques and concepts throughout your operations. Training topics include selecting and setting up SPC Control Charts, determining the best control chart format to use for a given process, identifying different patterns of instability, and knowing what they tell you about a process.
