Although both statistical process control (SPC)and acceptance sampling make inferences on the basis of samples,SPC uses sampled products to make inferences about a larger population of the products,while acceptance sampling uses the sampled products to make inferences about the process from which they came.

Statistical Process Control (SPC) is used to monitor and control a process to ensure that it operates at its full potential. It makes inferences about the process stability and quality control over time, using sampled data. Acceptance sampling, on the other hand, is used to determine if a batch of products meets predetermined quality standards, making inferences about the batch or population of products from which the samples were taken, not directly about the process.
