Basic ConceptionsWhen to use a control chart? Controlling ongoing processes by finding and correcting
problems as they occur.
Predicting the expected range of outcomes from aprocess.
Determining whether a process is stable (in statisticalcontrol).
Analyzing patterns of process variation from specialcauses (non-routine events) or common causes (built intothe process).
Determining whether the quality improvement projectshould aim to prevent specific problems or to make
fundamental changes to the process.

Basic Principles Basic components of control charts
A centerline, usually the mathematical
average of all the samples plotted; Lower and upper control limits defining
the constraints of common cause
variations; Performance data plotted over time.

Types of Control Charts Control chart for variablesare used to
monitor characteristics that can be measured,
e.g. length, weight, diameter, time, etc. Control charts for attributesare used to
monitor characteristics that have discretevalues and can be counted, e.g. % defective,
number of flaws in a shirt, number of brokeneggs in a box, etc.

Control Charts for Variables Mean (x-bar) charts
Tracks the central tendency (the average
value observed) over time
Range (R) charts:
Tracks the spread of the distribution over
time (estimates the observed variation)

Constructing a X-bar Chart:A quality control inspector at the Cocoa Fizz soft drink company hastaken three samples withfour observationseach of the volumeof bottles filled. If the standard deviationof the bottling operation
is .2 ounces, use the data below to develop control charts withlimits of3standard deviations for the 16 oz. bottling operation.

Control Charts for Attributes P-Charts & C-Charts
Use P-Charts for quality characteristics thatare discrete and involve yes/no or good/baddecisions Percent of leaking caulking tubes in a box of 48 Percent of broken eggs in a carton
Use C-Charts for discrete defects when therecan be more than one defect per unit Number of flaws or stains in a carpet sample cut from a
production run
Number of complaints per customer at a hotel
