About the event
About this event
Statistical Process Control (SPC) uses control charts and statistical guidelines to monitor a wide variety of things in the compliant laboratory. These generate a proactive system to assess problems early on and quickly — handled by adjustments rather than a strict non-compliance event.
Control charts are based on the Gaussian distribution of occurrences, with well-defined probabilities and guidelines for acceptable and unacceptable behavior. The most common of these are Nelson Rules, in use for over a century. With a wide selection of variables to monitor, assessing performance can be simple.
This webinar is aligned with 21 CFR Part 211.160 requirements for laboratory controls and ISO/IEC 17025:2017 documentation requirements.
