  "term": "Statistical process control",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A method of quality control that employs statistical methods to monitor and manage a process, such as an analytical measurement procedure. Data is collected in real time to identify and correct performance issues, reducing variability and improving quality. Control charts are a primary tool used to distinguish between variation inherent in the process and variations caused by special events.",
