SPC stands for Statistical Process Control, a method used in manufacturing to monitor, control, and improve production processes using statistical analysis. It helps manufacturers detect variations in their processes that may lead to defects, downtime, or inefficiencies.
You would need SPC in your operation if you want to:
- Catch quality issues early before they result in scrap or rework
- Ensure consistent product quality across shifts, machines, or lines
- Track process stability and identify when variables drift out of control
- Meet customer or regulatory quality standards with documented proof
- Reduce manual inspections by identifying trends in real-time
SPC is especially useful in high-volume or precision manufacturing environments where even small process variations can lead to costly problems. Shoplogix offers real-time SPC that connects directly to your machines, so you can monitor process variables automatically, without relying on manual data entry or third-party systems.
