Statistical Process Control – 4 Hour Course
SPC is a useful tool to improve quality consistency, reduce waste and evaluate whether processes are able to produce in-specification products.
Statistical Process Control & Average Quantity System – 6 Hours
The average quantity system (AQS) is a regulated method of labelled weight or volume compliance that allows manufacturers to reduce overpack. Requirements and methods of implementation including sampling will be discussed.
This course focuses on practical ways of implementing SPC and AQS in an easy to follow format. Student exercises are used to reinforce learnings.

What Our Customers say
The training was extremely beneficial and has assisted us in initiating facility and process modifications, now that there is a better understanding across the teams of how listeria behaves. This course was particularly helpful in giving people context around this microbe and also the confidence in understanding what they can do in their everyday role to help manage the risks.
