Abstract:

This roundtable will focus on statistical process control (SPC) fundamentals and how statisticians use them to understand and improve process quality or timeliness. Whether in manufacturing, market research, health care, or other disciplines, use of SPC charts provide a structured approach for data analysis and dissemination of results. Participants are encouraged to bring their experiences or questions, as the challenges and rewards of using SPC will be discussed. Common misconceptions related to SPC philosophy, methods, and techniques also will be discussed, along with the challenges of carefully crafting a proper outcome measure. Attendees will gain an appreciation for how SPC can be applied to develop a better understanding of any type of process.
