The Control Chart is a graphical technique that allows laboratories to visualize the inherent variation in an analytical process. Once established, the control chart for quality control samples can be used as a criterion for test result quality. Control charts meet the requirements for the use of statistical techniques to monitor the validity of test results as outlined in ISO/IEC 17025.
The Use and Management of Control Charts course goes beyond the basics to provide a detailed understanding of control charts in a testing laboratory setting, including critical program considerations. It covers control chart signals in detail, application strategies for the use of control charts to identify process issues, and using control charts to direct remedial actions. Critical elements of control chart program management, such as pre-chart checks and limit recalculation strategies are also presented. Similar to the intro course, control charts from real-world laboratories are used to illustrate control chart principles.
This is a 1 day course that is split over 2 half-days.
After completing this course participants will be able to:
- Identify a wide variety of control chart signals for analytical processes
- Use professional judgement in signal interpretation
- Apply control chart strategies to discern analytical process/subprocess performance
- Take appropriate remedial action based on the signals presented
- Analyze a dataset for suitability to control chart
- Identify fundamental issues in control chart program management
This course is suited for all laboratory staff who:
- Have limited control chart experience
- Assess local control charts with no formal training
- Seek to advance their control chart interpretation skills
- Train others in control charts
- Seek to undertake control chart responsibilities
- Manager a control chart program
- Recap from introductory course
- What do you see?
- What are they telling you?
