Implementation of statistical process control (SPC) — Part 1: Statistical process management — Elements, tools and techniques of SPC

Guidance for planning, implementing, and evaluating an effective statistical process control system across industrial production processes.

ISO 11462-1:2026 provides guidance for implementing a statistical process control (SPC) system and presents the elements, tools, and techniques needed to plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate process performance. The standard covers statistical process management, control loops, SPC prerequisites, machine performance studies, process capability and performance, control charts, process stability, traceability, archiving, and software support. It is intended for organizations seeking to reduce process variation, improve capability and productivity, control production economically, and support continuous process improvement across the industrial supply chain.

Application Scope: Quality management, manufacturing process control, statistical process management, machine performance assessment, process capability analysis, control chart implementation, and industrial production improvement.
