Statistical Methods
• Statistical process control (SPC)
– Control charts, plus other problem-solving tools
– Useful in monitoring processes, reducing variability
through elimination of assignable causes
– On-line technique
• Designed experiments (DOX)
– Discovering the key factors that influence process
performance
– Process optimization
– Off-line technique
• Acceptance Sampling
