Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Quality Management

Abstract

We emphasize quality control and statistical process control techniques in this chapter due to their vital importance for today’s industrial system. The chapter is organized as follows: We summarize the description and historical evolution of quality control and tools. Subsequently, we discuss how advancements associated with Industry 4.0 have transformed the quality control process, as well as the opportunities and challenges that have arisen as a result of the process. Next, the relation between the quality control process and sustainability from economic, ecological, and social aspects is underlined. Finally, we demonstrate the subject by performing various statistical process control tests on a sample case. © 2023 selection and editorial matter, Turan Paksoy and Muhammet Deveci; individual chapters, the contributors.
