Statistical Process Control: Process Variations

This course is designed to familiarize participants with some basic techniques for using statistical process control (SPC) to recognize and respond to variations in plant processes. After completing this course, participants should be able to describe how plotted values on control charts can be interpreted, describe how an operator can use SPC to recognize and respond to out-of-control conditions and process instability, describe basic considerations for using SPC with a computer, and explain how to use various types of attribute charts.
