Statistical process control (SPC) is one of the seven basic quality tools, but many manufacturing professionals don’t understand it – or are intimidated by it – because of its heavy reliance on high-level mathematics. A new course from the AFS Institute simplifies this complex method, giving quality control personnel, engineers, and other metalcasters the tools they need to put SPC to work for them, improving their output.

Metalcasters will hone their sales and project management skills with the help of two new management courses from the AFS Institute: A Selling Framework Bootcamp and Leading Successful Projects by Lake Forest Graduate School of Management.
