E82: Q&A from SPC presentation - What software to use? What about nonnormal data?

In this episode, I share some audio from a presentation I gave to Lean Portland for their July Happy Hour. I discussed Statistical Process Control (SPC) and how to detect out of control conditions. I'm sharing two questions that were asked at the end of the talk: 1) For office applications of SPC, what software package would be recommended to make control charts? 2) What control chart do you use if your data is nonnormal? The full presentation can be watched at the link below.
