Abstract
Demonstrates the training value of a new computer‐aided learning package, SQCC_ATT. Control charts are used extensively in quality management, and computer simulation provides a valuable facility for generating charts under a variety of different working assumptions. Warns about the potential for misuse of control charts by untrained and inexperienced staff. Concludes that specialist simulation games are likely to play an increasingly important role in training in management control techniques.
