Many organizations in dire need of SPC are not using it at all, while most of the remainder are using methods essentially exactly as Shewhart proposed them early this century. The reasons for this are varied. One that cannot be overlooked is Deming’s observation that any procedure which requires regular intervention by an expert statistician to work properly will not be implemented.}}</ref>
