Statistical Process Control

Print

Course Overview


This course is a great place to learn about what really drives product quality and how to monitor processes to pro-actively drive quality improvement. Participants gain the fundamental knowledge necessary to implement Statistical Process Control and learn to avoid the common mis-applications in practice. Knowledge of basic algebra is helpful but not required.
