Abstract
Statistical Process Control (SPC) is the misleading title of the area of statistics which is concerned with the statistical monitoring of sequentially observed data. Together with the theory of sampling plans, capability analysis and similar topics it forms the field of Statistical Quality Control. SPC started in the 1930s with the pioneering work of Shewhart (1931). Then, SPC became very popular with the introduction of new quality policies in the industries of Japan and of the USA. Nowadays, SPC methods are considered not only in industrial statistics. In finance, medicine, environmental statistics, and in other fields of applications practitioners and statisticians use and investigate SPC methods.
