Hey everyone, welcome to this lecture. What is statistical process control? if a product is to meet customer requirements, generally it should be produced by a process that should be stable or repeatable. More precisely, the process must be capable of operating with little variation around the target of the products quality characteristics. statistical process control or SPC is a powerful collection of problem solving tools useful in achieving process stability and improving capability through the reduction of variability. SPC can be applied to any process.

Its seven major tools are histogram, check sheet, Pareto chart, cause and effect diagram. Rank chart scatter diagram and control chart. Out of these, we have covered histogram, Pareto chart, cause and effect diagram, rank chart and scatter diagram in the earlier course, titled Minitab basics, top 10 graphical tools for beginners. In this course, you will focus on the top seven control charts. So, it is time to understand what are control charts and we will do that in the next lecture. See you there
