The Need for Statistical Process Control (SPC)
Process variation increases the risk of defective products. If a faulty product makes it out of your factory, you are going to suffer. At best, it will dent your reputation. At worst, it will endanger the lives of your customers.
Implement robust Statistical Process Control (SPC) and ensure the quality of your manufacturing process and products by reducing process variation. A well-implemented SPC system has the following benefits:
- Marginal process variation
- Reduced manual operations
- Reduced production cost
- Real-time monitoring of quality trends
- Less faulty products
- Reduced human errors
