This Statistical Quality Control Training Course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of statistical methods and tools used in quality control. The course focuses on the application of statistical techniques to monitor, control, and improve quality in processes and products.

Participants will learn the fundamentals of statistical quality control, including control charts, process capability analysis, and sampling techniques. Through hands-on exercises, case studies, and group discussions, participants will gain practical insights into implementing SQC in their organizations.

By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the skills necessary to apply statistical methods effectively, make data-driven decisions, and contribute to continuous quality improvement initiatives.
