Statistical Process Control - SPC Training Course
DURATION
1 dayCPD
Equivalent to 7 hoursCERTIFICATES
All delegates will receive a certificate on completion.DELIVERY OPTIONS
This highly practical 1-day course includes a variety of interactive activities and workshops based on real-life examples, designed to encourage open discussions without the need for detailed understanding of statistical theory. Delegates take part in activities based on subjects such as normal distribution, interpretation of charts, and process capability. Workshops cover the topics of data location and spread, sampling strategies, preparation of control charts, control chart interpretation, choosing a control chart, and calculation of capability indices.
By the end of the course delegates will understand:
- the basic requirements of SPC
- concepts including variability, stability and capability
- comparison of variable and attribute data
- process capability
With a knowledge of SPC delegates can help to maximise profit through improved product quality, greater productivity, streamlined processes, reduced wastage and reduced variation.
- individuals involved in manufacturing, quality, inspection, design/process engineering
- those who are required to develop and interpret control charts
Participants are encouraged to bring their laptop computer or a calculator with basic statistical function for use in the practical workshops.
Additional core tools courses include Introduction to APQP and PPAP, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA).
If you book any two of these Core Tools courses together we can offer a discount of £100.
There is also the option to book our comprehensive Core Tools Package, which combines all our core tools training on 4 consecutive days. By booking this package, you can save up to £705 + VAT compared with booking each of the APQP & PPAP, FMEA, SPC and MSA courses separately.
