Statistical Process Control - SPC

 

This course teach you how to use Control Charts to understand variation and respond correctly to measurement results.

Lean Tech offers online course, virtual and classroom training.

 
 

About the training

 

Statistical process control - SPC separates normal and special variation to help you respond correctly to measurement results

You can also use them to determine if processes are stable (predictable) and capable of meeting customer requirements.

All processes are subject to normal and special variation. Responding to these types of variation requires different approaches which you will learn about in this training. 

Like Run Charts, Control Charts track data over time. Unlike Run Charts, they detect and label unusual patterns in the data. This makes them powerful to identify data worth investigating.

 

Learning objectives

 

This training enables you to:

  • Maintain acceptable quality by monitoring critical variables
  • Work preventively by addressing issues early (e.g. maintenance)
  • Determine capability (is the process capable of meeting customer requirements?)
  • Assess stability (is the process predictable?)
  • Compare machines and equipment to Continuously Improve and make good decision when investing in new machines
  • Evaluate the effect of improvements (has the center and / or variation of the process changed?)
  • Avoid overreacting to normal variation (causing greater variation)
  • Learn from special cause variation (conduct Root cause analysis)
 

  • Introduction
  • Process mapping to understand variation
  • Normal and special cause variation
  • Introduction to Control Charts
  • Normal distribution & probability
  • How to interpret a Control Chart
    • Stability
    • Sign of Special Cause variation
    • Compare control limits and customer specifications
  • Practical applications of Control Charts
  • How to determine Capability (how well the process meets customer requirements)
  • Strategies to improve Capability
  • Different type of Control Chart and when to use them (classroom training only)

Galton board

We use a Galton board to understand basic statistics, histogram and normal distribution.

We create Control Charts using data generated from the Galton board.

We check how adjustments based on individual measurements affect the variation of the process.

The Galton board gives a good visual understanding of how variation increases when you overreact to normal variation.
