Definition of SPC Statistical process control (SPC) is the application of statistical techniques to determine whether the output of a process conforms to the product or service design.

Control Charts - Examples
Type I and Type II Errors
R-chart A range chart, or
R-chart,
is used to monitor process variability.
x-Charts An

is a commonly used control chart for attributes.
c-Charts When management is interested in reducing the number of defects per unit, another type of control chart, the
c-chart,
is useful.
