Statistical Process Control charts have been called the Voice of the
Process. Progressive manufacturers utilize control charts to "listen" to
their processes so that potentially harmful changes will be quickly
detected and rectified.
However, not all SPC programs deliver to
their highest capability as there are many elements to get right to
achieve maximum utility. Highly effective SPC programs combine technical
competencies, such as using an appropriate chart and sample size for
the application, with effective management techniques such as enabling
operator buy-in and involvement. This webinar provides a comprehensive
introduction to SPC methods and tools to help you deploy an effective
SPC program.
The participants will gain a detailed understanding of Statistical
Process Control. Various types of control charts and their applications
will be discussed. The webinar will cover chart construction, chart
interpretation, and ongoing management of the monitoring process.
Methods for assessing Process Capability are also covered including the
handling of non-normal data.
Modern manufacturing processes often
need specialized charting techniques and some of these will be
introduced. An understanding of the concepts and methods in this webinar
are essential to allow SPC to be implemented effectively so that the
expected benefits may be realized.
The target audience includes personnel involved in process Development, Manufacturing, Quality, program Management, and Business Operations.
