Control charts are graphical plots used in production control to determine whether quality and manufacturing processes are being controlled under stable conditions. (ISO 7870-1) [1] The hourly status is arranged on the graph, and the occurrence of abnormalities is judged based on the presence of data that differs from the conventional trend or deviates from the control limit line.
Process capability is the ability of a process to produce output within specified limits. [1] To help determine whether a manufacturing or business process is in a state of statistical control, process engineers use control charts, which help to predict the future performance of the process based on the current process.
Statistical process control is appropriate to support any repetitive process, and has been implemented in many settings where for example ISO 9000 quality management systems are used, including financial auditing and accounting, IT operations, health care processes, and clerical processes such as loan arrangement and administration, customer ...
In statistical quality control, the np-chart is a type of control chart used to monitor the number of nonconforming units in a sample.It is an adaptation of the p-chart and used in situations where personnel find it easier to interpret process performance in terms of concrete numbers of units rather than the somewhat more abstract proportion.

The PFMEA follows the Process Flow steps, and indicates "what could go wrong" during the fabrication and assembly of each component.

Business process mapping, also known as process charting, has become much more prevalent and understood in the business world in recent years. Process maps can be used in every section of life or business. The Major Steps of Process Improvement using Process Mapping Process identification - identify objectives, scope, players and work areas.
The Western Electric rules are decision rules in statistical process control for detecting out-of-control or non-random conditions on control charts. [1] Locations of the observations relative to the control chart control limits (typically at ±3 standard deviations) and centerline indicate whether the process in question should be investigated for assignable causes.
Each observation plots against its own control limits as determined by the sample size-specific values, n i, of A 3, B 3, and B 4: Use control limits based on an average sample size [7] Control limits are fixed at the modal (or most common) sample size-specific value of A 3, B 3, and B 4
