Attributes Control Charts

This document discusses alternative control chart options that can be used when the standard x-bar and R charts are not suitable. These include: - Individual and Moving-Range charts which are used for single measurements or small sample sizes and calculate moving ranges between values. - Moving-Average and Moving-Range charts which plot moving averages to smooth variation but lag in detecting changes. - Median and Range charts which are easier to calculate but less sensitive than x-bar/R charts. - Run charts which plot process changes over time on either attributes or variables. - Charts for variable subgroup sizes which have individual control limits but require extensive calculations. - Pre-control charts which examine product

Control Charts

Other chart options

What happens when there is an insufficient number of sample measurements to create x-bar and r charts? What happens when only one sample is taken? What other charting methods are available?
Control Charts

Available chart options


Individual and Moving-Range Moving-Average and Moving-Range All Individual Values Median and Range charts Run charts Variable sub-group size Pre-control charts
Control Charts

Individuals and MovingRange

Used when measurements are single values or when the number of products produced is too small to form traditional charts. Moving ranges are calculated by measuring the value-to-value differences. Interpretation is the same - check trends, runs, patterns, limits
Control Charts

Moving-average and Moving-range

Plot moving-average

replace oldest value with newest value sample size n = number of selected values

Moving-averages smooth out short-term variation Lags occur, charts are less sensitive to change
Control Charts

All individual values


Cluttered looking Useful when examining individual variation

Control Charts

Median and Range charts

Median of the data is calculated and charted Ease of calculation is a trade-off with some loss of sensitivity. Constructed and interpreted like X-bar/R charts

Control Charts

Run charts

Used to monitor process changes associated with a particular characteristic over time. Either variables or attribute data. X-axis shows time. Y-axis shows attribute/variable value.

Control Charts

Charts for variable subgroup size

Sub-group size coefficients must be recalculated Each subgroup with a different sample size will have its own control limits plotted. Con: lots of calculations!

Control Charts

Pre-control charts

Study and compare product produced with tolerance limits.
