This study delves into an examination of the correlation between the
utilization and integration of seven widely recognized Statistical Process Control (SPC)
tools, namely flow charts, check sheets, Pareto charts, cause-and-effect diagrams, scatter
charts, histograms, and control charts. These tools are represented by variable Statistical
Methods (SM) training. The research also investigates the relationship between these SPC
tools and five critical success factors within the context of Palestinian food companies.
These factors encompass Managerial Actions (MA), the Process Approach (PA), Decision-
Making (DM), Audit and Review (AR) of SPC practices, and Quality Obstacles (QO) related
to their implementation. The research adopts a quantitative methodology, wherein
pertinent data is gathered through the administration of a questionnaire to 75 quality
managers employed within Palestinian food companies. Subsequently, the data is
subjected to analysis via the utilization of partial least squares structural equation
modeling (PLS-SEM). The study's findings indicate that approximately 50% of the
selected food companies have adopted SPC tools. Furthermore, the research has
identified connections among the critical success factors that contribute to improving the
implementation of SPC tools within the food industry. Concretely, the results demonstrate
