Statistical Process Control

This course is part of our Lean Six Sigma Green Belt program, which consists of four courses designed to prepare you for the International Association of Six Sigma Certification (IASSC) Green Belt exam. We recommend you take all four courses in the program to be fully prepared for the exam.

Statistical process control allows you to visually see and understand what is happening with a process in real time. SPC techniques help you manage and control processes with data, and warn you when the process has degraded and action is needed.

In this course you will learn how to create and use control charts, the heart of statistic process control, to improve your business processes.

The training features plenty of opportunities to practice with examples, exercises and quizzes to test your knowledge. By the end of the course, you will have the skills to conduct simple, straightforward analysis to improve processes at your company.

The course is designed from the standpoint of making sound business decisions for improving processes. You won’t need to do any advanced math or derive proofs behind the formulas or statistics. Instead, you’ll learn how to use popular programs like Excel and Minitab to do the calculations for you. While the computer crunches the numbers, you will learn how to read the data and analyze the results of the study.
