-The objective of the Statistical Process Control Training (SPC)/Process Capability curriculum is to provide participants with the analytical tools and methods necessary to:
+This is not a blog, but rather a constantly evolving, incrementally growing library of information I've used to help transform organizations to increased effectiveness. While some of the pages may read like a blog, formal blog posts I've written are at [[https://www.fivewhyz.com/blog|FiveWhyz Blogs]].
-Understand [[https://www.integral-concepts.com/statistical-methods-training/spc-and-process-capability|SPC]] fundamentals and the importance of reducing variation
+It is not a web site of services I offer. If you are interested in service offerings please visit the FiveWhyz Coaching Collaborative Website: [[https://www.fivewhyz.com|FiveWhyz LLC]]
-Implement control charting in order to assess process stability
-Interpret control chart signals and implement appropriate reaction plans
-Determine appropriate sampling plans and sample sizes
-Assess process capability training (for normal and non-normal data)
-Apply charting techniques for short production runs
-Apply charting methods where multiple sources of variation may exist (e.g. multiple cavities, filling heads)
-Apply SPC for naturally trending data (e.g. due to tool wear)
-Determine the appropriate type of chart for a given process
-Avoid common misapplications of [[https://www.integral-concepts.com/statistical-methods-training/spc-and-process-capability|SPC]] in practice

-====== Content ======
+What does this mean to you? In general, when people publish information they try to focus the message - just do this - and skip the thinking process. For me the thinking is more important than the practice. In other words it is more important that I understand the “why” and that the “why” makes sense. These pages are therefore "thinking pieces" not marketing messages. But then this is more a personal knowledge repository than it is a marketing piece.

-**WHY ONLINE SPC TRAINING COURSE IMPORTANT?**
-[[https://www.integral-concepts.com/statistical-methods-training/spc-and-process-capability|Statistical Process Control]] training course is a method that enables manufacturers to prevent problems and to control their production processes.  Unfortunately, it is often applied incorrectly, and the potential benefits are not realized.

-When applied properly, SPC identifies changes to a process.  These can be changes that are still within specification—but are statistically different than where the process was previously running.   By identifying the changes, personnel can identify what caused the change and potentially improve the process or prevent the production of inferior products.
-SPC charts can quickly detect increases or decreases in variation, and variation is arguably the biggest problem manufacturers face.  If variation decreases, personnel can identify the causes and sustain the improvement.  If variation increases, personnel can identify the issue long before parts are scrapped or customers complain.
-This course teaches participants the fundamental concepts and methods needed to establish effective control charts and estimate process capability.  In addition to learning traditional control charts (e.g. xbar, r/s), participants will be exposed to other useful charts for handling multiple sources of variation (within/between) and short production runs.  Practical aspects of implementing SPC on the shop floor are also discussed.
