Abstract:  
This article is adapted from a presentation made by Charlie Mason of Menasco Aerospace during the 2nd Annual Workshop on Shot Peening in Cincinnati, Ohio. If you can't monitor it, then you can't control it. The shot peening process can be monitored, and it can be controlled. One of the best tools to maintain consistent shot peening quality is referred to as SPC or Statistical Process Control.
