Mounting pressure for product consistency and quality and a mandate to reduce costs spurred container manufacturer Crown Cork and Seal Co. Inc. (Philadelphia, PA) to institute quality measures that could be applied across the board throughout its manufacturing sites around the world. To fully appreciate the size and importance of this task, consider the company's business climate.
In the quest for ever-improving quality and performance, the industrial world has employed statistical quality control techniques with great success. Laboratories also have adopted some SQC techniques, mostly in response to external reporting requirements.
But so far, most laboratories are not using SPC for its most powerful benefit: using statistical techniques for continuous process improvement in order to improve analytical confidence and capability.
