Addressing the Auditor’s Challenge: “Why Haven’t You Used All SPC Out-of-Control Rules?”

This article addresses quality engineers on how to handle auditor questions regarding why all 8 SPC rules aren't used. It argues that indiscriminately using all rules increases Type I errors (false alarms), destroys process stability, and misjudges physical laws. Rules must match process models and be backed by actionable Out-of-Control Action Plans (OCAP) supported by structured data.…
