ABSTRACT
Controlling and improving Quality has become an important business strategy for many 
organizations, because a business that can delight customers by improving and controlling 
quality can dominate its competitors. Hence, this project work focused on the application of 
statistical quality control technique to Habila Food and Beverage Nigeria Limited, in order to 
control and improve the quality of their products so as to remain in the competitive market. 
To achieve the aim and objectives of this project work, quality control data were collected 
through the primary source (i.e. directly from the Quality Control Department of the 
company). Thereafter, the respective statistical parameters such as the Means, Ranges, 
Standard Deviations, Centre Line Control Limit, (CL), Upper Control Limit (UCL) and 
Lower Control Limit (LCL) were developed and analyzed for the company using statistical 
approach. The resulting Control Charts was also constructed using the parameters developed 
for better understanding and visibility. From the results, it was found that most of the process
data collated and analyzed lies within the designed range of specifications, gives values 
implying that the process is capable of producing acceptable product. However, those ones 
out of control which are attributed to assignable causes such as lack of personal training, poor 
mix, mechanical fault, etc, are to be subjected to process monitoring and evaluation so as to 
better their products.
