Statistical Process Control, or SPC, is a quality control methodology that uses statistics to predict variation in processes. SPC is the basis for the control portion of a Six Sigma project.

Learning Objectives

  • Define statistical process control
  • Define and describe the objectives and benefits of statistical process control
  • Explain the types of variation that exist in a process
  • Define and describe how rational subgrouping is used 
  • Identify, select, construct, and apply various control charts
  • Interpret various control charts

Improvements to a process are almost always needed to meet the goals of an organization. Many Six Sigma tools can be used to implement and validate the improvements.

Learning Objectives

  • List the steps to improve a process
  • Identify Six Sigma tools used to improve a project
  • Identify Six Sigma tools used to validate improvement efforts

Language: English

The control plan is one of the most important documents used to maintain the gains made during the analysis and improve portions of a Six Sigma project. The control plan is a “living” document that is continually updated to capture continuing improvements.

Learning Objectives

  • Define the minimum requirements for a control plan
  • List sources of information for a control plan 
  • List required documents based on a control plan
  • Define a dynamic control plan
