I agree: I'm 100% in the opinion that SPC is of little use without
understanding the basic process.  I have seen example after example in a
manufacturing setting where the effort was lost.  That said, use of SPC is
critical for any high volume manufacturing line and those out there not
using are waiting for disaster to hit.

If s(he)is not experienced or even interested, no SPC works in the world
will increase the final quality. In some cases, the SPC has been driven more
in terms of making a personal success or demonstrate intellectual
'creativity', rather than just find the bottleneck. I don't deny SPC, but it
seems that people become a little fanatic and forget material and process
knowledge, which can not be replaced by any Taguchis. I have even seen
examples when the SPC engineers have been working with their matters without
speaking with the operators! That makes no sence to me.
>Sensmoral: knowhow is superior to SPC. SPC can be much simplified by more
knowhow.
