Implementation of Statistical Process Control Techniques in Industry: A Review

Excessive variability in process performance often results in waste and rework. For improvement in quality and productivity process variation needs to be reduced. For this Statistical Process Control techniques are used. SPC uses statistics to detect variations in the process so that it can be controlled. Control charts are used in SPC for measuring the variation in the process and that can be continuously improved by the different techniques used in the SPC such as 7 QC tools. This paper shows applicability of the statistical process control techniques in different manufacturing industries. In this research paper various research articles and the case studies on the implementation of the Statistical Process Control Techniques in the manufacturing industries are selected for the review.
