CTRL (Control Charts) Women’s High-waisted T-shirt

LOOK AMAZING IN THIS HIGH-WAISTED TEE.

Wearing a pop art version of Walter Shewhart shows your respect for SPC + control charts and its history. As a bonus, it says you’re most cultured.

This is the gift for the ladies of industrial engineering and six sigma that you’ve been looking for. Data scientists and statisticians will be in on the joke too.

It's a bold design on high-quality fabric in colors only available in this feminine cut. 

Everyone loves a fresh t-shirt. Quality improvement peeps are going gush over this fun, funny insider’s take on Shepard Fairey’s classic OBEY portrait of Andre the Giant (RIP).

You see the resemblance:

If you don’t know, let us explain.

Our Fairey-esque portrait is of a young Walter Shewhart, the self-taught statistician who bequeathed unto the world control charts, or more broadly, statistical process control charts. He did a lot of his work at the Western Electric Company and we still today use his “WECO Rules” for separating assignable cause variation from common cause variation.

See, when a process is “in control,” it’s behaving as we’d expect it to. That’s not to say it’s behaving well. Bad processes can be predictable too. “In control” just means no surprises. Put a little differently, the variation seen from a process that’s in control is common, that is, caused by randomness. But a process that is out of control is demonstrating assignable cause variation, which is to say, it’s behavior is unexpected.

What if you don’t actually love Walter Shewhart? What if you don’t particularly feel an unpayable debt of gratitude to the father of SPC for all the wisdom and insight he brought to industry? Well, this is still a hot look. Our favorite color to pair with this design is is artichoke with red sorbet as a very close second.
