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.
They are a set of modified Western Electric rules, developed by James Westgard and provided in his books and seminars on quality control. [1] They are plotted on Levey–Jennings charts, wherein the X-axis shows each individual sample, and the Y-axis shows how much each one differs from the mean in terms of standard deviation (SD). The rules ...

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.
"7.8 per thousand" = 1/128 = 1/2 7. From Statistcal Quality Control Handbook, 2nd edition, 10th printing May 1984, copyright 1956 Western Electric: on page 181 the rule (3)is clearly stated as "eight points in succession on one side of the centerline". The stated probability is 0.5^8 = 0.0039.
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.
Western Electric Co., Inc. was an American electrical engineering and manufacturing company that operated from 1869 to 1996. A subsidiary of the AT&T Corporation for most of its lifespan, Western Electric was the primary manufacturer, supplier, and purchasing agent for all telephone equipment for the Bell System from 1881 until 1984, when the Bell System was dismantled.
The album was produced by Dana Strum, the bassist for the band Slaughter.In a 1991 interview, Kik Tracee's drummer Johnny Douglas recounted that their label tried to remove Strum from the producing process because of Strum's relatively unknown profile at the time, stating that the label wanted the band to have a more noteworthy and famed producer for name recognition: "[The label] thought we ...
