Statistical Process Control Course

We’re excited to bring you this free e-learning course on Statistical Process Control. The course includes many topics, some for beginners new to SPC, and some for more advanced SPC practitioners. You can choose your skill level and take the parts of the course that are most interesting to you.

  • Lesson 1 is an introduction to SPC and quality methods.
  • Lessons 2 and 3 contain the basics of Shewhart charts and process capability.
  • If you already know the basics, look at Lessons 4 and 5 for charts to detect small shifts, charts to control multiple related processes at the same time, charts for counts and rates and rare events, charts to control multiple sources of variation, and charts for controlling data which are positively autocorrelated over time. Lesson 5 also contains information on the process for setting up control charts, including how to decide what to chart, sampling frequency and sampling plan, and how much data to collect.
  • The course ends with three capstone exercises.

For more details on what is covered in each lesson and section, scroll down below the video player. 

 

Please download the course file (statistical-process-control-journal.zip) at the top of the page to use in the course.

 

The course was developed using JMP version 16. Slight menu changes occur with version 17. New Features in the platforms used in this course can be found by going to Help > New Features > Quality and Process Platforms. Please send any feedback about the course to Ruth.Hummel@jmp.com with the title “Feedback on SPC Course” .

Hi @jorgeruiz1908, you should be able to click on the video player in the middle of this post. Please send me a message if you are having trouble with the video player. Sometimes you may need to refresh your browser. I hope you are able to view it with no troubles!

thank you  I have it!

Wonderful! I hope you enjoy and get a lot out of it.

Excellent course to brush up the SPC and some advance topics like CUSUM, EWMA charts & Model Driven Multivariate Control charts. Thanks...

Can we get an official certificate for completing the course?

ruthhummel

Hi @EdgeRulesSteer2, no, there is no "official" certificate. There is no way for us at JMP to validate that a specific user has taken the course and taken the quizzes, so we can't in good conscience offer any "formal" or "official" certificate. However, you can screen-capture and print out the quiz results throughout and the "You've completed Lesson X" slides at the end of each lesson.

In some of our other on-demand courses, such as "Getting Started with JMP: On Demand" and "Statistical Decisions Using ANOVA and Regression," we have added a Course Completion slide at the end that can be used as an informal certificate. If you think something like this would be useful, we could add an informal certificate to the end of all of our courses. (But please be patient with us! Any updates take some time.) Let me know what you think of that idea. Making these courses available, for free, in the JMP User Community is a new venture for us, and we are a work-in-progress. We appreciate hearing from you about what could make these free offerings even more valuable to you and your colleagues. 

Hi @ruthhummel , Yes it would be great if you could add an informal certificate as some sort of authentic documentation would help. 

 

Thanks and regards!

ruthhummel

Hi @EdgeRulesSteer2, excellent, I will log your request. We will add an informal completion certificate to the end of this course, but it may not be added for another month or two. Stay tuned! We will get to this as soon as possible. 

Hello, and thanks for putting this course together! Are there others? Is there a list somewhere?

Thanks!

ruthhummel

Hi @Ben_Sagalovsky, I'm so glad you enjoyed this course! Yes, we have other on-demand courses, too, available here: https://community.jmp.com/t5/On-Demand-Courses/ct-p/jmp-courses. Thanks for your interest!

Thanks, Ruth! I knew about STIPS, of course, but some where new to me. Appreciated.

Hello, thanks a lot for offering this course. Have you started offering official/unofficial certificates for completing the course?

Hi @EdgeRulesSteer2  and @Sabbir_Akhanda, There is now an informal completion certificate at the end of this course. Thank you so much for your patience!

I did not find any "scientific" solution to the following case

 

  • I used the following 54 data taken from a paper; they are “Urinary Tract Infection data collected in a hospital”; the distribution of the data is the Exponential.

Can you ask your teachers/lecturers to find it?

Thanks

Hi @faustoG, I'm so glad you are using our course materials and they are sparking questions. If you are looking for someone to propose a method other than those found in the course or to do an analysis on data other than the examples in the course, you will need to ask this question in the Discussions area or to a consultant, because this thread is specifically related to the material covered in this course. We do not offer any personalized consulting as a part of this free online course. I believe you have already seen Mark Bailey's post on this topic, and that is the resource that I would recommend. If you are looking for a consultant to hire to work on a specific problem, you can find many great options at jmp.com/partners. Best wishes!

Hi Ruth,

thank you.

===================================================================

in the course presentation one finds, among other things

  • The course includes many topics,
  • some for beginners new to SPC, and
  • some for more advanced SPC practitioners.

You can choose your skill level and take the parts of the course that are most interesting to you.

  • Omissis …
  • If you already know the basics, look at Lessons 4 and 5 for charts to detect small shifts, charts to control multiple related processes at the same time, charts for counts and rates and rare events, …

==================================================================

 

My question was about rare events.

So, in line with the course presentation …
