- The ability of a process under nominal conditions to consistently produce output that meets expectations.
- The means of assessing it.

Is SPC Still Relevant? | D.C. Fair & S. Hindle | Quality Digest
“Today’s manufacturing systems have become more automated, data-driven, and sophisticated than ever before.

That begs these questions: With all this technology, is statistical process control (SPC) still relevant? Is SPC even needed anymore? Some believe manufacturing sophistication trumps SPC technologies that were invented 100 years ago. But is that true? We the authors believe that SPC is indeed relevant today and can be a vitally important aid to manufacturing.”
