Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pfadt, Al; Wheeler, Donald J. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1995
Statistical process control (SPC), which employs simple statistical tools and problem-solving techniques such as histograms, control charts, flow charts, and Pareto charts to implement continual product improvement procedures, can be incorporated into human service organizations. Examples illustrate use of SPC procedures to analyze behavioral data…
