100 Years of the Control Chart: JMP Live Brings SPC to the Masses (2025-US-30MP-2553)

Walter Shewhart delivered the first control chart more than 100 years ago, yet the integration of statistical process control (SPC) methodologies into real-world shop floors can be prohibitively burdensome. 

The engineers tasked with implementing SPC come up against challenges, including sourcing and integrating many different data formats, learning many intermediate tools that often do not enable statistical decision making, and navigating enterprise-level resource requirements to deploy solutions.

Large organizations are hyperspecialized across the functions accountable to address these challenges, which complicates execution of the SPC development steps. The consequence: SPC deployed as trail of completed tasks without actually delivering an effective SPC environment. JMP Live is an engineer's defense against SPC project death by 1,000 organizational hurdles. 

In this paper, the authors provide a real-world case study of how an entire SPC development workflow was implemented using JMP and JMP Live by engineers. Discover how JMP democratizes implementation of SPC, including set-up and administration of JMP Live, data acquisition and transformation, statistical analysis and modeling, sharing of interactive reports to collaborators, and implementation of SPC reporting and warnings.
