The resulting plots are analyzed as for other control charts, using the rules that are deemed appropriate for the process and the desired level of control. At the least, any points above either upper control limits or below the lower control limit are marked and considered a signal of changes in the underlying process that are worth further ...
Control charts, also known as Shewhart charts (after Walter A. Shewhart) or process-behavior charts, are a statistical process control tool used to determine if a manufacturing or business process is in a state of control. It is more appropriate to say that the control charts are the graphical device for statistical process monitoring (SPM).
Nelson rules are a method in process control of determining whether some measured variable is out of control (unpredictable versus consistent). Rules for detecting "out-of-control" or non-random conditions were first postulated by Walter A. Shewhart [1] in the 1920s.
Shewhart developed the control chart in 1924 and the concept of a state of statistical control. Statistical control is equivalent to the concept of exchangeability [ 2 ] [ 3 ] developed by logician William Ernest Johnson also in 1924 in his book Logic, Part III: The Logical Foundations of Science .

Shewhart framed the problem in terms of assignable-cause and chance-cause variation and introduced the control chart as a tool for distinguishing between the two. Shewhart stressed that bringing a production process into a state of statistical control , where there is only chance-cause variation, and keeping it in control, is necessary to ...
The control chart, also known as the Shewhart chart or process-behavior chart, is a statistical tool intended to assess the nature of variation in a process and to facilitate forecasting and management. A control chart is a more specific kind of run chart.
BlackRock spent much of 2024 resisting the FDIC’s push for greater oversight, denying that the asset manager exerts undue control over companies through its investment stewardship activities.
Walter A. Shewhart originally used the term chance cause. [1] The term common cause was coined by Harry Alpert in 1947. The Western Electric Company used the term natural pattern. [2] Shewhart called a process that features only common-cause variation as being in statistical control.
