Control Chart Basics Training

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 changed the expected output. With this information, an operator can then decide whether or not to adjust the process.

This course provides training in what control charts are, what they look like and how to interpret them and take action based on what they are telling you about your process.  Types of control charts including both variable and attribute control charts is also covered.  This course is a targeted training course and provides focused training on how to use control charts at an operator level. For comprehensive training on how to use control charts and their underlying principles, we recommend our Basic SPC training.
