Statistical Process Control is the cornerstone of a system of management that emphasizes defect prevention instead of defect detection. SPC has been in use by many companies in the United States for many years and is widely considered to be a pre-condition for supplying the American automotive industry. The major application for statistical methods, both in terms of controlling an ongoing process and in solving problems, has been largely with the discrete part manufacturing industries. Bulk product manufacturing operations have faced unique challenges to implementing traditional statisitcal process control method. Creative variations to the classic Shewhart X, R control chart have allowed the process industries to adapt the principles of SPC to their operations. Techniques such as moving average/moving range and cummulative summation charts have found wide acceptance and applicability in the manufacture of bulk products such as metal powders.
