Statistical Process Control (SPC) 
You can use this component to monitor production processes and product quality and to view graphical information which indicates whether the production process is in statistical control.
By monitoring variation in the manufacturing process by means of one or more SPC control charts, you can detect occurrences of special cause variation and prevent the production of defective materials.
Implementation Considerations
SAP ME SPC is applicable to any production process where characteristic data from the process or product features can be measured and used to control or limit variability in the production process.
Integration
To view SPC control charts, you must install Statit e-Server 5.4 and SAP ME SPC Server software on an SPC server. For more information, see SAP ME Installation Guide.
SPC process involves gathering information about the product, or the process itself (see Data Collection (DC)).
Features
SPC enables manufacturing engineers and production supervisors to obtain and analyze statistical data about the manufacturing process at a site. The collected data determines whether characteristics of the material being manufactured, or of the process, fall within acceptable limits.
You can view SPC control charts and a summary of SPC trend rules in SPC Display (see SPC Display)
Process Flow
The following figure illustrates the primary flow of user actions when setting up and using the SPC component.
