Abstract

This chapter presents techniques for monitoring and controlling processes and signaling when corrective actions are necessary. It covers both statistical process control (SPC) and statistical quality (SQC). SPC is based on a comparison of what is happening today with what happened previously to guarantee that process has not degraded. SQC is a technique for inspecting enough product from given lots to ensure a specified quality level.The chapter can be accessed via urlhttp://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/pmc/pmc.htm
