Abstract :
We present a model that integrates real-time process control charting with simulation modeling to illustrate the effects and benefits of SPC charts for quality improvement efforts. The integrated model is particularly significant in addressing transition issues arising from changes in the input material. A case study based on a medical manufacturing industry process is used to illustrate the approach
