• Define critical process parameters, CTQs, and control characteristics.
• Select and implement appropriate control charts (Xbar‑R, Xbar‑S, I‑MR, P, NP, C, U charts).
• Establish sampling plans, subgrouping strategies, and reaction plans.

2. Process Capability & Stability

• Perform Process Capability Analysis (Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk) during:
• Tool qualification
• Line qualification
• NPI / New package ramp‑up
• Identify sources of common and special cause variation.
• Drive process centering and variation reduction initiatives.

3. Manufacturing & Quality Integration

• Work closely with Process Engineering, Production, Equipment, and QE teams.
• Support control plan development and linkage to SPC controls.
• Ensure SPC outputs are aligned with:
• PFMEA
• Control Plans
• Customer requirements
• Participate in daily Gemba, yield reviews, and excursion analysis.

4. Data Analysis & Digital SPC

• Establish digital SPC dashboards and alerts (MES / SPC software / Excel / JMP / Minitab).
• Monitor process trends and proactively flag:
• Out‑of‑control conditions
• Capability degradation
• Develop automated SPC reports for:
• Management reviews
• Customer audits
• Certification audits

5. Problem Solving & Continuous Improvement

• Lead statistical analysis during:
• Process excursions
• Customer complaints
• Yield degradation
• Apply structured methodologies:
• SPC interpretation
• DOE (basic & intermediate)
• 8D / DMAIC support
• Drive sustainable corrective actions through data validation.

6. Training & Culture Building

• Train operators, technicians, engineers, and supervisors on:
• SPC concepts
• Chart interpretation
• Reaction plan execution
• Build SPC discipline and data integrity culture on the shop floor.
• Act as SPC Subject Matter Expert (SME) for the plant.

7. Compliance & Customer Expectations

• Ensure SPC compliance to:
• IATF 16949 / Automotive customer requirements
• ISO 9001
• AS9100 (where applicable)
• Support customer audits, line walks, and SPC reviews.
• Ensure proper linkage between SPC, MSA, Control Plans, and PFMEA.
