Title: Statistical process control applications in the metal working industry

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5494692

Purpose of this paper is to describe those activities considered to be essential for continual improvements in the state of control over processes and to present basic concepts for structuring those activities. An effective process control function provides for improvements in both product quality and productivity. Quality increases because improved control over the process results in greater product uniformity. Productivity improves because costs related to removal of defective product, rework, repair, scrap, and customer dissatisfaction are minimized or eliminated.
