SPC for the Real World | Automation World

A good interview by John Clemons of Maverick Technologies on the need for SPC for manufacturing.  As costs, time, and market pressures come to bear, SPC is a foundational technology to help manufacturers understand behavior and trends of their manufacturing process.  Most automation providers offer some type of SPC functionality, whether it is within their HMI (like Wonderware InTouch) or as a standalone Quality application (like Wonderware MES/Quality).  But whether it's solo, or as part of a suite, it's a critical component that ensures proactive quality management.
