In daily life, we are conditioned by habit; in diet, sleep, work, stress, and so on. When something unusual happens, it raises alarms that something might be wrong. In manufacturing engineering, data can be tracked using Statistical Process Control (SPC). Operators and equipment records process data of test, measurement, and yield. When the process is automated, a large database of “normal” data can be determined. Once a baseline is established, there are still allowable tolerances that are expected from noise and variation. An example SPC chart. When data exceeds the UCL (3 sigma above mean), there needs to be action!

With these deviations compared against a long history of da
