10 Keys for Maximizing the Benefits of Your SPC Program

10 Keys for Maximizing the Benefits of Your SPC Program

podcast episode by Steven Wachs

Statistical Process Control charts have been called the Voice of the Process. Progressive manufacturers utilize control charts to “listen” to their processes so that potentially harmful changes will be quickly detected and rectified.

However, not all SPC programs deliver to their highest capability as there are many elements to get right to achieve maximum utility.  Highly effective SPC programs combine technical competencies, such as using an appropriate chart and sample size for the application, with effective management techniques enabling operator buy-in and involvement.  This webinar identifies and describes ten keys that unleash the power of SPC.

  • The Purpose of SPC
  • Identifying Key Characteristics
  • Validating Measurement Systems
  • Selecting the Right Chart
  • Control Limits and Specification Limits
  • Effective Sampling Strategies
  • Adequate Sample Sizes
  • Automating SPC (Real Time)
  • Empowering Operators
  • Driving Process Improvement

The participants will gain a high-level understanding of Statistical Process Control.  Ten important keys to maximizing the benefits of SPC in any company are described in detail.  The ten keys range from technical considerations to management practices.  Understanding these important factors will allow SPC to be implemented effectively so that the expected benefits may be realized.

Bring your concerns, questions, and experience with stress screening to this discussion.

This Accendo Reliability webinar originally broadcast on 16 August 2018.
