Comics
Te ABC of SPC in comic form
Presentation
You too can become a reader of the ABCs of MSP in comics! The ABCs of MSP is now in its 3rd edition
The ABCs of SPC is a popular comic strip which, in around forty pages, presents the main aspects of implementing SPC (Statistical Process Control).
This book is intended for all company staff, whether technical or administrative, likely to be involved in the implementation of Statistical Process Control (SPC).
It can also be of interest to students who have chosen industrial subjects such as Quality, Production Management, Mechanical Engineering, etc., as it provides an entertaining teaching aid to help them understand concepts that are sometimes off-putting or abstract.
The aim of the cartoon presentation is to show that SPC is not just a matter for specialists. It enables company staff to acquire the vocabulary and basic concepts of SPC in order to interpret capability indicators and manage manufacturing processes using control charts. It highlights the close relationships that exist between the company's departments and the coherence that must exist between product tolerances, the choice of production means and the means of measurement.
Popularisation and communication are the keystones of a successful MSP project.
