This document provides an overview of statistical process control (SPC). It discusses the objectives of an SPC course, which are to learn how to audit SPC and understand variables and attributes control charts. It then defines SPC and the types of variation it can detect. The document outlines the different types of SPC charts, including variables charts (x-bar and R, x-bar and s), attributes charts (p, np, c, u), and when each is best applied. It also discusses process capability studies and calculating Ppk and Cpk values.
