SPC TRAINING COURSE

General Description:
 
SPC or statistical process control is a statistically-based family of tools used to monitor, control, and improve processes. SPC training can be time consuming and frustrating because of the complex nature of the statistics underlying SPC control charts. In addition to providing a solid understanding of variation and the statistics upon which control charts are based, this course covers use of the most common variable and attributes control charts including x-bar & R-charts, moving average charts, p-charts, u-charts, np charts, and c charts. Extensive training includes collecting sample subgroups, plotting points on control charts, and interpreting SPC charts. This basic SPC training course also features a conceptual overview of process capability including Cp, and Cpk to provide learners is a well-rounded and thorough understanding of how to use statistical process control in their jobs. This training is ideal for Six Sigma green belt training or for lean manufacturing training.
