The Future: Optimizing Mill Effectiveness Through Statistical Process Control (SPC), 2021 TAPPICon Live (21TAPL)

Statistical process control (SPC) is a powerful technique for improving customer satisfaction and mill productivity while reducing product and process variability and waste.  At its foundation, SPC identifies and controls meaningful variables, ensuring processes operate at their fullest potential for the long term.   

In the 1980s the U.S. paper industry attempted to adopt SPC, but most efforts quickly failed.  The industry was ill-prepared to sustain it because there weren’t enough leaders who fully understood SPC and were committed to this approach of continuous improvement for the long term. Corporate leadership and unwavering commitment to leading the charge for the benefit of the customer is the most important element in establishing SPC in an organization.  Early efforts lacked that dedication and focus.
