Practical Implementation of Statistical Process Control in a Chemicals Industry

Abstract

The implementation and use of statistical process control in a chemicals and plastics firm are examined. The essential external factors are focused upon, which are associated with the practical implementation of statistical process control. The important components of a Statistical Process Control process optimisation study are discussed in the context of their achievements at a manufacturing facility. Benefits achieved from a successful implementation of statistical process control are also discussed.
