Σύνοψη	Simulation-assisted statistical process control (SA-SPC) combines computer simulation — typically Monte Carlo or discrete-event simulation — with classical SPC methods to design, test, and calibrate control charts and monitoring schemes before or alongside deployment on a real production process. Rather than relying solely on closed-form analytical assumptions, SA-SPC uses simulated data to evaluate chart performance under realistic, often non-normal process conditions.	A control chart is a time-series graph with statistically derived upper and lower control limits that separates the natural, random variation of a process (common cause) from unusual, assignable variation (special cause). Invented by Walter Shewhart at Bell Labs in 1924, control charts remain the foundational tool of Statistical Process Control and are used across manufacturing, healthcare, software, and service industries to monitor whether a process remains stable and predictable over time.
