Level Up with SPC Charts
Statistical Process Control (SPC) charts were invented by Walter Shewhart at Bell Labs in the 1920s, to assist engineers in minimising variations in manufacturing processes. These charts have been used in manufacturing, business, and healthcare ever since, serving as a reliable tool to identify significant changes statistically. We’re now introducing this tool to sports performance.
Using SPC Charts for tracking players’ performance allows for precise monitoring of their progress and detection of trend shifts in their development. It also helps to distinguish normal performance variations from significant outliers, critical for tailoring training protocols and optimising each athlete’s potential.
