Statistical process control (SPC)
The use of control charts to track and eliminate variables in repetitive manufacturing processes, in order to ensure that the product is of consistent and predictable quality. If a chart reveals only chance variations that are inherent in the system, the process is said to be in a state of "statistical control'. If the chart reveals variations traceable to changes in equipment, procedures or workers, the process is said to be " out of control". Statistical process control differs from statistical quality control in that the former monitors manufacturing process parameters and the latter monitors product quality parameters.
