This asynchronous course addresses the basic theory behind Statistical Process Control (SPC), a method used in monitoring and controlling the quality of a process through statistical analysis to ...

Statistical process control (SPC) charts provide a natural approach to analysing time series data for healthcare quality improvement (QI) initiatives. A problem arising in practice is that having ...

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Advanced radiotherapy methods include Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) requiring stringent quality assurance (QA) to ensure ...

The analysis of covariance (Ancova) is a widely used statistical technique for the comparison of groups with respect to a quantitative dependent variable in such a way that the comparison takes into ...

Process control charts are an important application of statistical process control (SPC) that are used in the management of processes in various industries with the aim of maintaining consistency, ...

Hypothesis validation is fundamental in scientific discovery, decision-making, and information acquisition. Whether in biology, economics, or policymaking, researchers rely on testing hypotheses to ...

Advanced packaging is transforming semiconductor manufacturing into a multi-dimensional challenge, blending 2D front-end wafer fabrication with 2.5D/3D assemblies, high-frequency device ...

Background The way that data are presented can influence quality and safety initiatives. Time-series charts highlight changes but do not clarify whether data lie outside expected variation.

Friction stir welding (FSW) offers significant advantages over fusion welding, particularly for high-strength alloys like Inconel 718. However, achieving optimal surface quality in Inconel 718 FSW ...

Many food and beverage manufacturers still rely on outdated, paper-based systems for quality control, which leads to increased costs, wasted efforts, and quality issues that put consumer safety and ...
