Reliability and Statistical Process Control
When components fall outside specs, the chance for quality and reliability issues increases.
Let’s explore some design and manufacturing cases where effectively using statistical process control will enhance your product’s reliability performance.
We often assume the components and processes we rely on to create a reliable product are stable.
Is that true? What is the risk if they are not stable?
We work with our vendors and manufacturing teams as reliability professionals to create reliable products. We often identify and provide critical information on which components or processes are critical to reliable performance.
Understanding how SPC and reliability relate, plus the basics of SPC and capability analysis, allows us to implement the design intent and create a reliable product.
Let’s explore how to determine if a vendor ‘gets it’ concerning SPC. Also, let’s discuss how to judge an SPC program, how to select critical-to-reliability elements, and how to implement SPC across your supply chain and manufacturing process.
In this event, we will discuss key elements that identify critical-to-reliability elements, plus how to prioritize which processes to monitor and control using SPC.
Starting with a basic introduction to SPC and capability analysis, we will quickly move to improving your project’s reliability performance using process control techniques.

What is Statistical Process Control or SPC?
You may have heard of Statistical Process Control, 6-sigma, Shewhart, the Japanese Economic Miracle, X̅ – R Charts … or perhaps none of them.
What is Process Capability Analysis (PCA)?
A process is considered ‘capable’ if it creates products that, with production natural variation, are still within what ‘good’ looks like.
Fundamentals of Control Charts
Statistical control charting (SPC) is a method for monitoring and determining whether a process is in control or stable.
Fundamentals of Process Capability
Let’s explore the steps necessary to obtain valid and valuable process capability ratios. Then, let’s examine how to use this information.
