SPC stands for Statistical Process Control, a method used to monitor and manage quality through statistical techniques. It employs mathematical and statistical procedures to address existing issues in production based on available data. The goal is to minimize waste in manufacturing by producing as few defective products as possible, those that do not meet the required quality standards, often referred to as non-conforming products.
This approach prevents waste in production, making it a proactive strategy. It conserves resources such as materials, labor, machinery, finances, and more. As a result, this method enhances the efficiency of the entire production process and can predict its behavior in the future.
SPC focuses not only on the output of the production process but also aims to control inputs and process parameters.
