Course Outline for a
One Day SPC Workshop

If your organization needs to …
-Reduce scrap rates of your processes
-Get processes under control
-Buy the most accurate and cost effective machinery
-Continuously improve its output quality
-Have reliable data for process improvement
-Get out of firefight mode
-Assure customers are always satisfied

… then applying the principles of SPC (statistical process control) might be just right for you!

SPC (Statistical Process Control) is a method of controlling your processes so that your products can be inside specification limits without needing to inspect each individual item. SPC means monitoring a process during its operation by inspecting samples at regular intervals in order to control the quality of the production batch while the products are being produced - rather than relying on outgoing inspection to find problems after the fact. It involves gathering information about the product, or the process itself, on a near real-time basis so that the operator can take action on the process. This is done in order to identify special causes of variation and other non-normal process conditions, so that the process can be brought under statistical control and variation be reduced.

Workshop Objective
The objective of this hands-on workshop is to give participants an overview of the power of statistical analysis for their work and data environment and to provide them with the tools to determine whether a process is under control or not. Participants will learn how to analyze data with histograms, control charts and capability analyses and be able to use, adapt and integrate SPC into their own company culture.

Who should attend?
This workshop is designed for Executives, Managers, Quality Engineers, TQM facilitators, Machine Operators and others who:
Want to understand how SPC works.
Need to find a way to standardize process information.
Have to reduce scrap by improving process stability
Are planning on introducing SPC in their company.
Want to draw the right conclusions from the available process data.
Workshop outline
The SPC workshop uses both lecture and exercises to introduce the participants to the concepts of statistical process control. The main learning effect comes through real world exercises that allow participants to practice using the tools in a safe environment.
-From defect detection to defect prevention
-Normal distribution
-100% inspection
-Control chart for variable data
-Sample inspection
-Control chart for attrib. data
-Probability calculation
-Process capability calculation

Workshop Facilitator
Eberhard Schmidt is a senior consultant with QSG. He is a DQG licensed Quality Engineer, Quality Manager and Lead Auditor. With over 20 years of quality management experience he has successfully introduced SPC as well as other quality tools into various company settings. Eberhard has been training people for more than 25 years.
