This course is designed to provide participants with an understanding of the principles of statistical process control (SPC) and the tools and techniques for completing a Individuals and Moving Range Study (IMR or XMR). SPC is one of the core tools of IATF 16949, and is generally required to be used within the product realisation process and it is also a key element of the control step within six sigma.
