Similarly, runs of points on one side of the average line should also be interpreted as a signal of some change in the process. When such signals exist, action should be taken to identify and eliminate them. When no such signals are present, no changes to the process control variables (i.e. "tampering") are necessary or desirable. [3]: 125
In statistical process control (SPC), the ¯ and R chart is a type of scheme, popularly known as control chart, used to monitor the mean and range of a normally distributed variables simultaneously, when samples are collected at regular intervals from a business or industrial process. [1]
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.
The above eight rules apply to a chart of a variable value. A second chart, the moving range chart, can also be used but only with rules 1, 2, 3 and 4. Such a chart plots a graph of the maximum value - minimum value of N adjacent points against the time sample of the range.
The EWMA control chart requires a knowledgeable person to select two parameters before setup: The first parameter is λ, the weight given to the most recent rational subgroup mean. λ must satisfy 0 < λ ≤ 1, but selecting the "right" value is a matter of personal preference and experience.
Use variable-width control limits [6] 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
Regression control chart differs from a traditional control chart in four main aspects: It is designed to control a varying (rather than a constant) average. The control limit lines are parallel to the regression line rather than the horizontal line. The computations here are much more complex. It is appropriate for use in more complex ...
In industrial statistics, the X-bar chart is a type of variable control chart [1] that is used to monitor the arithmetic means of successive samples of constant size, n. This type of control chart is used for characteristics that can be measured on a continuous scale, such as weight, temperature, thickness etc.
