Course Introduction
In today’s competitive environment, quality excellence is a critical driver of customer satisfaction, regulatory compliance, and cost efficiency. Statistical Quality Control (SQC) offers a robust framework to monitor, control, and improve manufacturing and service processes using data-based decision-making.
This intensive 5-day course equips quality, operations, and engineering professionals with practical skills in the application of statistical techniques to real-world quality challenges. Participants will learn to use tools such as control charts, process capability analysis, sampling plans, and root cause analysis to ensure consistent output, identify variation, and drive continuous improvement across operations.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Apply statistical methods to monitor and improve process quality
• Use control charts for variables and attributes to detect process shifts
• Perform capability studies to assess process performance
• Design effective sampling plans and measurement systems
• Utilize statistical tools for root cause analysis and problem-solving
Key Benefits of Attending
• Implement quality assurance methods that are data-driven and systematic
• Detect problems early and reduce process variation and waste
• Align quality control practices with ISO, Six Sigma, and Lean standards
• Strengthen internal audits and supplier quality management
• Support product compliance and customer satisfaction initiatives
Intended Audience
This program is designed for:
• Quality Control and Quality Assurance Engineers
• Process, Production, and Manufacturing Engineers
• Six Sigma Practitioners and Lean Leaders
• Quality Auditors and Compliance Officers
• Anyone responsible for maintaining or improving product/process quality
Individual Benefits
Key competencies that will be developed include:
• Statistical thinking for quality improvement
• Use of control charts (X̄-R, p, np, c, u) and interpretation
• Process capability indices (Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk)
• Measurement System Analysis (MSA) and Gauge R&R
• Corrective action based on statistical evidence
Organization Benefits
Upon completing the training course, participants will demonstrate:
