• In January of 2010 Toyota announced the recall of almost 8 million vehicles due to a quality defect. The cost to Toyota is estimated to be more than 0 Million and a drop of approximately 17% in its share price. Although this is an extreme case of quality going awry for an iconic quality driven company, these types of bottom line affects happen everyday for manufacturers.

• In this whitepaper, we will explore Six-Sigma SPC (Statistical Process Control) as a method that is employed to catch quality problems in prototype or high volume manufacturing environments. You will learn what problems can be solved with SPC and how it might be affecting your current business and operations.
