Statistical Process Control (SPC) - Basic Workshop

"The case studies presented were very helpful in clarifying the subject."
"This course provided a clear understanding of SPC."
"I will walk away with a lot of basic knowledge, which was more than I came with."

Basic SPC is also offered as a Self Directed Learning option.

The purpose of this course is to provide practical instruction on the fundamental statistical tools used in modern process control methods. Workshop problems will be used to practice the techniques developed.

TARGET AUDIENCE	COURSE LENGTH
Production-level workers, technicians and anyone else who seeks a basic understanding of SPC. Prerequisites: No prior background in statistics is required. Participants should bring a hand calculator for problem solving.	Length: 2 days Time: 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
