Question

Statistical process control (SPC) is the application of statistical techniques to determine whether a quantity of material should be accepted or rejected.True / False.

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Statistical process control (SPC) is a method of quality control which employs statistical methods to monitor and control a process. This helps to ensure that the process operates efficiently, producing more specification-conforming products with less waste (rework or scrap).

By implementing statistical process control, the goal of eliminating or greatly reducing costly product recalls is realized. This is done by analyzing manufacturing data as it happens so that problems are stopped as they happen—instead of being caught after deployment.

The aim of Statistical Process Control (SPC) is to establish a controlled manufacturing process by the use of statistical techniques to reduce process variation. A decrease in variation will lead to: better quality; lower costs (waste, scrap, rework, claims, etc.).
