Controversies and Contradictions in Statistical Process Control
Abstract
Statistical process control (SPC) methods are widely used to monitor and improve manufacturing processes and service operations. Disputes over the theory and application of these methods are frequent and often very intense. Some of the controversies and issues discussed are the relationship between hypothesis testing and control charting, the role of theory and the modeling of control chart performance, the relative merits of competing methods, the relevance of research on SPC and even the relevance of SPC itself. One purpose of the paper is to offer a resolution of some of these disagreements in order to improve the communication between practitioners and researchers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
