SPC can be thought of as the mother concept for Six Sigma.
SPC can be used in virtually any situation where you need to
understand and analyse a process from base lining current
performance, through evaluating measurement systems, comparing
before and after improvement to the provision of on going process
controls. This course is aimed at giving delegates a thorough
understanding of control chart principles, the different types of
charts , their application and how to interpret control charts to
identify common and special causes of variation. |
| Objectives |
|
This two day course which includes a number of group
exercises based on both manufacturing and service examples will
enable Six Sigma Green and Black Belts to
understand:
|
The principles and
application of control charts in a Six Sigma
environment.
|
|
How to develop a variety
of control charts dealing with variable and attribute
data.
|
|
How to interpret control
charts and identify common and special cause of
variation.
|
|
How to manage
out-of-control processes.
|
|

The Six
Sigma Black Belt programme consists of nine modules of which this is
an optional component. The delegate has to complete two mandatory
modules and has a level of choice of which of the other seven
modules will be of most benefit to them and their organisation, see
the Six Sigma Black Belt course
overview. |
