SPC Training Program
Statistical Process Control (SPC)

COURSE DESCRIPTION
What is Statistical Process Control (SPC)
SPC is the use of valid-analytical-statistical methods to identify the existence of special causes of variation in a process. All processes have variation; it’s important to understand if the variation is due to a common cause or special cause. This training will provide learners the ability to determine causes of variation and understand which cause directly impacts the strategy for problem-solving and continuous improvement.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
To provide an introduction and foundation of the SPC methodology. At the end of this course you should be able to:
⦁ Define the difference between common and special causes
⦁ Define the four parts of profound knowledge
⦁ Define the difference between part-control and process-control
⦁ Define a variable control chart
⦁ Define an attribute control chart
⦁ Define when a control chart shows an out-of-control condition
⦁ Define how many samples should be taken before calculating control limits
⦁ Define the type of control charts used for data based on defectives
⦁ Define the type of control charts used for data based on defects
⦁ Define an acceptable short-run control method
⦁ Define the control chart used for small changes in data
⦁ Define the control chart to use when dealing with Non-Normal data
⦁ Define the control method used on special characteristics submitted for PPAP
⦁ Define the indices used from the control chart to make calculations
COURSE OUTLINE
This course is broken down into sections that will grow the learner’s knowledge of SPC principles. The training is based on principles pioneered by Walter Shewhart and continued by Dr. Deming. This training covers the theory of SPC and the details on how to complete the process and, in the end, understand process capability.
This course is broken down into the following 5 Process Steps: ⦁ Continual Improvement and SPC |
![]() |
|
Step One: Continual Improvement and SPC | Focuses on understanding the basic concepts of SPC: ⦁ Introduction and History of SPC |
|
Step Two: Basic Control Charts - Variable | Provides the following detailed steps to understand how to complete variable control charts and when they are used: ⦁ Preparatory steps |
|
Step Three: Basic Control Charts - Attribute | Provides the following detailed steps to understand how to complete attribute control charts and when they are used: ⦁ Proportion of Non–Conforming Items (P–Chart) |
|
Step Four: Other Types of Control Charts | How to complete other types of control charts and when they are required: ⦁ Probability based charts – Stop Light / Pre-Control |
|
Step Five: Understanding Process Capability | Focuses on process capability. This step will explain how to understand variable characteristics and explain the typical terms of Cp, Cpk, and Ppk and when they are used (including PPAP requirements): ⦁ Definition of Process Terms |
