Roger Woehl from SafetyChain Software provides an overview of SPC (Statistical Process Control) software for the Food Industry. Process performance index (Ppk), Xbar-R and Xbar-S charts, control limits, run rules, and process capability (Cpk) are explained.
Statistical Process Control (SPC for short) is a quality control method that employs statistical methods that monitor and control a process to ensure it can meet specifications. There are many benefits to using SPC. It allows food & beverage and Consumer Product Goods (CPG) companies to operate more efficiently, achieve high conformance with specifications, and reduce waste, including rework or scrap. In addition, SPC can help ensure product safety, reduce overall costs, and help satisfy regulatory requirements from FDA, FSMA, and others. Most of all, SPC software helps ensure your processes are running well and provides you with the reporting and analysis that allows you to communicate that confidence to management and customers.
