SPC for Food and CPG Manufacturers

 

Statistical Process Control (SPC) helps improve product quality by using statistics to monitor and limit variation in manufacturing processes. By using SPC, manufacturers are able to produce more higher-quality, specification-conforming products with less waste, rework and scrap. If used in real-time, it instantly impacts profitability and informs daily decision-making needed for continuous improvement. The problem is, not all manufacturers use SPC to its fullest because it can be difficult to deploy, but now, advances in technology put tangible gains from SPC in the palm of your hand.

After reviewing SPC fundamentals, you will see three real-world examples of how leading food, beverage, & CPG companies are putting SPC to work in their plants to improve productivity, quality, and profitability.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • How to boost yield and profit by managing a single variable (e.g. cook temperature) with SPC 
  • How to minimize giveaway using SPC and remain confident that you’re meeting label weights
  • How to optimize competing requirements (e.g. moisture levels) for both safety (low moisture) and taste (high moisture) using SPC
  • Tools and resources that can help you build and implement a customized SPC program of your own
