What is Statistical Process Control?


Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a method for monitoring, controlling and, ideally, improving a process through statistical analysis. The philosophy states that all processes exhibit intrinsic variation. However, some processes exhibit excessive variation that produces undesirable or unpredictable results. SPC, in a manufacturing process optimization context, is used to reduce variation to achieve the best target value. The four basic steps of Statistical Process Control include:

  • Measure the process
  • Eliminate undesirable variation from the process
  • Monitor the process
  • Continuously improve the process
