To learn how to apply SPCM to a process, continue the flowchart from Week 1 and identify variances within a process. You can find variances from the data identified in Week 1.
When calculating data keep it simple. Example:
The following is the registration times (for whatever) for each month in minutes.
Jan – 18
Feb – 15
Mar – 20
Apr – 18
May – 21
Jun – 16
Jul – 15
Aug – 19
Sep – 21
Oct – 20
Nov – 17
Dec – 18
Add them up and divide by 12 and the monthly average for the year is 218/12 = 18.166 or round down to just 18 minutes. You just calculated data.
If you copy the numbers (just each months number of minutes) I’ve provided into an excel spreadsheet, highlight the cells, go to “Insert” then go to the charts, click on the control chart, hit enter you’ll have a control chart. It is that simple. Address each assignment objective as asked.
If you struggle with a control chart, check out this video:

Process Evaluation
Evaluate your process using 1 of the following:
· Use the lean concept to find ways to eliminate waste and improve the process
· SPC or Six Sigma to reduce defects or variances in the process

Evaluation of Control Chart and Process Metrics
Complete the following in Excel:
· Calculate the defined process metrics including variation and process capability.
· Develop and display a control chart for the process.
Evaluate the control chart and process metrics using Statistical Process Control (SPC) methods. Determine whether the process could benefit from the use of Six Sigma, Lean, or other tools. (Include all calculation and charts.)

Executive Summary
Write a 700-word executive summary that includes the following:
· A summary of the Process Evaluation (using either Lean or SPC or Six Sigma)
· A summary of the Evaluation of Control Chart and Process metrics based on SPC methods
· A summary of your evaluation of whether the process would benefit from the use of Six Sigma, Lean, or other tools
· A description of the SPC project and recommendations for improvements
