This document provides an introduction to statistical process control (SPC). It discusses the limitations of inspection and why SPC is better. It explains that SPC allows monitoring of processes to detect changes before defective products are produced. Various control chart templates are shown and key SPC concepts are defined, including sources of variation, the central limit theorem, and using average and range to monitor process behavior over time. Examples are provided to illustrate variability, distributions, and how control charts can be used.
