Conclusions on using SPC

This whole issue can be summarized in three statements:

	Pick the appropriate statistical tool.
	Use the tool correctly.
	Management must make use of the data.

Simple, right? In reality, the answer is "Yes!" It is like anything else in life - be sure you understand what it is you are about to undertake. Monitor the results. Adjust your course of action based on your analysis.

SPC is a very powerful tool if properly applied and utilized. It can lead the way to very effective process and quality improvements. However, used the wrong way, it is a waste of time and money and would certainly prevent your company from achieving certification to the ISO standards and requirements.
