Lesson 1 Basic Concepts of SPC

In Lesson 1 statistical process control is defined, and students learn the relationship between SPC and quality. Basic statistical concepts are introduced including variation, frequency, average, and range. The screen layout illustrated below is consistent throughout the program. The Instruction Box, located below the Presentation Area, is used to present the exercise instructions. The Topic Menu allows control of the presentation.

In the lesson below, the student is asked to drag the grapefruit with the mouse to the appropriate histogram cell. This interaction, prevalent throughout the SPC Control Charts training, requires the student to be an active participant in the learning experience.
