Course Overview

Statistical Process Control (SPC) helps process engineers regulate and continuously improve production by monitoring processes and detecting deviations before failures occur. It also enables the analysis of process corrections. Every process has natural variation, which is random in stable conditions, but systemic influences can affect the process. SPC focuses on two main objectives: stabilizing the process and improving process variability.

  • This course is designed for: Process engineers and scientists, professionals looking to optimize the evaluation of running processes, individuals interested in refreshing their basic knowledge of statistics, participants seeking hands-on exercises to enhance practical understanding.
  • Requirements: Mathematical thinking and interest in getting to know the noise in the process as a natural value.
  • Training Method: The course includes lectures, simulations of specific scenarios, discussions of real-world application examples, and hands-on exercises. Simulations and practical exercises can be completed independently on a laptop, providing participants with a flexible and interactive learning experience.
