West Yorkshire Statistical Process Control

Statistical Process Control or ‘SPC’ is a statistical tool based on a scientifically proven robust methodology that uses data to help us understand the variation inherent within processes and systems. There are rules that help us do that.
Understanding a process and the variation within that process will help us not to react unnecessarily to causes of variations that are natural and common. SPC is a more reliable way of making decisions, supports evidence based management and a really good measurement tool for improvement and sustainability.
