Statistical Process Control Presentation

Statistical process control (SPC) tools were developed in the 1920s and applied in manufacturing to reduce variation and costs. SPC involves monitoring critical process parameters using tools like control charts to determine if a process is in or out of control. The apparel industry can benefit from applying SPC through problem identification, prioritization, analysis, and development of control charts to focus on prevention, make quick decisions, improve quality, and decrease costs. The advantages include increased responsibility, satisfaction, and productivity along with predictable quality levels.

What is Statistical Process
Control?
 a tool for monitoring and controlling
manufacturing processes. 

 an analytical decision making tool

 It eliminates variation
History of SPC
 1920s – SPC tools
were laid for conducting
research on quality
improvement methods
and to lower the costs.
 Walter Shewhart of
Bell Telephone
Laboratories
History of SPC
 Dr. W. Edwards
Deming

 took the concepts to


Japan following WWII

 known as the “God of


Quality” in Japan
History of SPC
 H.F. Dodge – Bell Labs statistician
 H.G. Romig – contribution to sampling
inspection
 Japan
 World-renowned high quality of Japanese
products
Eight Basic SPC Tools
 Check Sheet
 Defect Concentration Diagram
 Scatter Diagram
 Histogram
 Pareto Chart
 Cause-and-Effect Sheet
 Flow Chart
 Control Charts
SPC involves:

 Determining the critical process


parameters that need to be monitored
 Setting up an initial control chart and
confirming that the process is in-control, and 
 Collecting and plotting future data on the
chart and interpreting the chart to determine if
the process has gone out-of-control.
What is the importance of
application of SPC in Apparel
Industry?

Decisions must be made on facts –


opinions cannot be risked
Objectives of the Project
 Identification and data gathering of the
problems and areas requiring improvement
Check Sheets
Identification and data gathering of the
problems and areas requiring improvement

Defect Concentration Diagram


Identification and data gathering of the
problems and areas requiring improvement
Histograms
Prioritizing the problems
Pareto Charts
Analysis of a selected problem
Cause & Effect Diagram
Flowcharting of the problem
Flow Chart
Development of Control charts and their
study
Control Chart
PDSA Cycle
What are the advantages of
this type of application to the
industry?

“Prevention is better than cure”

Focus on prevention rather than detection


What are the advantages of this
type of application to the
industry?
 Places the responsibility for quality in the
hands of the operator
 Quick and accurate decisions
 Customer satisfaction
 Decreased scrap, rework and inspection
costs
 Decreased operating costs
 Maximized productivity
 Predictable and consistent level of quality
