MEP Courses Statistical process control (SPC) involves using statistics - numbers and data - to measure and control the quality of a process. Manufacturers use SPC to reduce reject rates, save money and time, and ultimately consistently deliver products that meet customers' requirements. In this all-day workshop, which includes numerous hands-on activities and realistic examples, you'll learn about SPC concepts that you can easily apply to your everyday work in manufacturing or quality.
