Several statistical tools are used in SPC. Some of the key tools include:
Control Charts: Graphical representations of data over time that help identify whether a process is in control or if there are any special causes of variation. Process Capability Analysis: Measures how well a process can produce output within specified limits. Histograms: Provide a visual representation of the distribution of data and help assess the process's variability. Pareto Analysis: Helps identify the most significant factors contributing to variations or defects in the process.
