Introduction: In order to identify whether university attrition is under control, it is necessary that the statistical process control tool and the icp, as reliability parameters, be transferred to this scenario, under the statistical rigour with which it is applied in manufacturing processes. Methodology: the SPADIES database of 22 years of analysis was used. After the pre-processing, imputation and data cleaning phase from 12 universities in the department of Santander, the techniques of normal distribution review and validation, implementation of log transformation methods, goodness-of-fit tests and statistical control methods were applied together with the capability analysis. Results and discussion: although some universities meet the short-term objective of controlling attrition in the short term, in the long term the intrinsic variability of attrition makes clear the presence of deviations that lead to out-of-specification attrition processes. This variation makes it unfeasible to control in the long term. Conclusions: a process that is not under controlled conditions does not guarantee quality results in the future. Consequently, the restructuring of more effective strategies is required to counteract the current university dropout results
