- 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

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
