  "term": "Process in a state of statistical control",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A process operating with only random, common-cause variation, where all observed variations are within expected statistical limits. This indicates that the process is stable and predictable, with no special causes of variation present. Data from such a process, when plotted on a control chart, will fall within the upper and lower control limits.",
