What tools does Mapex incorporate for Statistical Process Control? Thanks to this type of graphs, companies can quickly and visually see whether process variability is to be expected and caused by common causes (natural and constant over time) or whether, on the contrary, values have moved away from the average due to assignable causes (random and unpredictable) and corrective actions need to be implemented as soon as possible. It is a proactive and preventive quality control strategy through which companies can guarantee the stability of their industrial processes and meet their customers’ specifications without having to inspect 100% of production.Ĭompanies that implement the SPC take random samples of their production processes, which are then used to prepare control charts with an average value or central line, an upper and a lower control limit, calculated according to the set of samples obtained. Statistical Process Control (SPC) is the application of statistical tools to monitor the variation of a process or production method, detect deviations and anticipate possible quality problems. What is Statistical Process Control (SPC)? In this article, we explain how Mapex can help you implement Statistical Process Control (SPC), a set of techniques that are very useful for detecting and eliminating this type of deviation. If not properly monitored, this phenomenon increases the probability of manufacturing defective units and, as a consequence, raises production costs.

Variability in industrial processes is behind many of the quality problems experienced by manufacturing companies.
