Introduction:

SPC is a tool used to monitor a process during its operation in order to control the quality of the products while they are being produced, rather than relying on inspection to find problems after the fact. It involves gathering information about the product, or the process itself, on a near real-time basis so that the process attendant/engineer can take action on the process immediately an out-of-control condition is detected.

 

SPC identifies special causes of variation and other non-normal processing conditions, thus bringing the process within control, potentially before defective product is actually produced.

Industry examples are discussed throughout this interactive programme to demonstrate the technique’s relevance to a very wide range of applications, with just enough theory to grab an understanding of the concepts and their origins. Having effective process control techniques implemented drastically reduces scrap, rework and additional costs associated with defective material.

After completing the course, candidates will be able to:

• understand and develop a positive attitude to prevention systems

• understand the key concepts of SPC and its implementation

• apply SPC techniques to process control and follow up on problem analysis

This is a middle management course that will expose delegates to the principles of SPC and offer an understanding to apply it to their own processes.

 

Target Audience:

This course is intended for personnel interested in driving a process and product improvement cycle. It is anticipated that middle managers, supervisors, team leaders and foremen who are involved in the task of achieving improvement, should stand to gain in this regard.

 

Key operators who are likely to be involved in the implementation of SPC should also benefit from such a course since they develop an understanding to the underlying principles to this technique.
