Collect/SPC Management
Inspection Results and Statistical Process Control Charting Management:
Also known as Inspection, Receiving Inspection, In-Process Inspection, Final Inspection, First Article Inspection, Process Operation Inspection, Statistical Process Control (SPC), Quality Control Charting.
