This 2-day seminar is designed to help participants understand basic topics in Statistical Process Control (SPC) through presentations, examples, actual data analyses and structured learning exercises.

Participants will learn how to implement SPC in industries with set up variations, slow and rapid tool wear, and with chemical processes where concentration adjustments occur on a daily basis. The seminar will also help expand the participant’s ability to address non-normal, multivariate, and unilateral variables through heavy emphasis on data analysis and the study of the effects on the processes using eight types of control charts.

This seminar is consistent with the DCX, Ford, GM manual Statistical Process Control, 2nd edition

• Participants are required to bring laptop computer (or at least a calculator) in the training room

Who Should Attend?

• Individuals who have direct responsibility for defining and developing their organization’s measuring, monitoring and analytical practices through data collection, charts and statistical tools appropriate for their products, processes, business goals and objectives
• Individuals searching for ways to improve, monitor and sustain good performance of their processes

Seminar Materials

Each participant will receive a seminar manual, including workbook and all team exercise materials. Participants are required to bring a laptop computer or calculator to the class

Seminar Goals

• To present a hands-on approach to learning the principles and practices of advanced SPC and Process analysis
• Explain optional statistical methods when traditional SPC practices have failed or are inadequate
• Understand the uses and benefits of advanced control charts and be able to construct and interpret them
