Abstract:
In today’s quality demanding and cost competitive environment, measurement data ‘trustworthiness’ is a key business driver and an implicit expectation from Customers & Regulatory Entities. To assure measurement data trustworthiness, a de facto industry practice which is mandated by EPA (CFR1090) and ASTM D6792 (Standard Practice for Quality Management Systems in Petroleum Products, Liquid Fuels, and Lubricants Testing Laboratories) is to deploy Statistical Quality Control Charts (SQC) to ensure the testing process is in a state of statistical control. This presentation will speak to what in statistical control means, what an Out of Control (OOC) event means, what the immediate and follow up responses should be, and how learnings from an effective SQC and OOC management program can help fund new instruments and analyzers.
