SPC - Statistical Process Control
Code: A6
 

Training description: Variation sources may affect the process output and need to be deeply known and managed. Process variation may be properly monitored according to the statistical tools commonly applied in the automotive industry. An appropriate statistical application may lead to a preventive approach to process control instead of a more expensive and less effective detection approach.

This course, according to the guidelines defined in the AIAG “SPC – Statistical Process Control” Reference Manual (2nd edition), will introduce the participants to the understanding and application of the basic statistical concepts for the process control.

Training course outline:

​

• Introduction to statistical process approach: rationale & benefits. Prevention vs. Detection approach. The loss function model applied to the statistical process control approach

• Process variation sources: common causes & special causes of process variation. Impact on process output

• Statistical process distribution: fundamentals of normal distribution

• Variables control charts: definition, preparation, application and interpretation

• Attributes control charts: definition, preparation, application and interpretation

• Process capability evaluation: key indicators, definition and realization of a process capability study. Common process capability indexes: Cm/Cmk, Pp/Ppk, Cp/Cpk. Calculation and interpretation for process improvement

 

Who should attend: Department Managers and Operators (Quality, Quality Control, Engineering, Supplier Quality, Production)

Length: 1 day (8 hours)

Cost: € 330,00 + Italian VAT (if applicable)
