Statistical Process Control#

Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a method of applying statistical methods and techniques in order to monitor and control a process. Using historical process data, it’s possible to check whether a certain process is under control and it’s possible to calculate the respective control limits, that is the Voice of the Process (VoP). If a certain process is under control, it’s possible to apply rules that check for specific patterns in order to detect problems before they become visible and cause significant production issues. By combining the Voice of the Customer (VoC) with the respective specification limits, it’s possible to enrich the type of analysis and problems that be detected.

Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a pre-integrated module that is used to monitor the stability and quality of a certain process as well as to identify and flag problems as early as possible. When a problem is identified, it’s possible to trigger an action such as sending an email, putting the lot on hold, or putting the equipment down. It’s also possible to open an exception protocol workflow to correct the situation.
