I would be careful with this one!

SPC works well and gives advantages when people get in touch with the data
and the process.  Software can sometimes become a means to "do SPC" and not
to control the process because it can make people feel detached from the
data and by doing too much of the work can result in a lack of understanding
of variation, and if all a company gets out of an SPC programme is that
everyone understands variation, it has been worth the effort!
