Generation

Statistical process control (SPC) is a method of monitoring a process in real-time using statistics to determine whether it's operating normally or if something has gone wrong. Instead of inspecting every single product after it's made, you take periodic samples and plot key measurements on special charts (called control charts) that show you the natural variation you'd expect from a stable process. When data points fall outside predetermined control limits or show unusual patterns, it signals that something in the process has changed and needs investigation. This approach helps you catch and fix problems quickly, rather than discovering defects only after producing large batches of flawed products.
