Statistical process control (SPC) is a method of quality assurance which uses statistical methods. SPC is applied in order to monitor and control a process. Monitoring and controlling the process ensures that it operates at its full potential. The essential objective of this SPC course is to create awareness for participants on SPC procedures, tools and techniques & impart knowledge to apply them at work. Emphasis is given on equipping the students with basic practical skills in SQC approach with sufficient theory to understand the principles involved to develop in them the power of systematic thinking, practical approach and exposition.
