SPC and Run Charts

 

This one hour session will provide an understanding of Statistical Process Control (SPC) charts and how they are used to understand what is ‘different’ and what is the ‘norm’ in terms of activity and data. By using these charts, we can then understand where the focus of work needs to be concentrated in order to make a difference.

We can also use SPC charts to determine if an improvement is actually improving a process and also use them to ‘predict’ statistically whether a process is ‘capable’ of meeting a target. SPC charts are used.
