This chapter outlines control charts for variables, including the x and R charts for monitoring the mean and variability of individual measurements over time. It discusses the statistical basis and development of these charts and how to interpret them. The chapter also covers control charts for x-bar and range (x and R), charts for x-bar and standard deviation (x and s), and an s2 chart. Supplemental materials provide additional details on estimating standard deviation and variability, determining when a process has shifted, and detecting shifts versus drifts in the process mean.

CHAPTER OVERVIEW AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES
A quality characteristic that is measured on a numerical scale is called a variable. Examples include dimensions such as length or width, temperature, and volume. This chapter presents Shewhart control charts for these types of quality characteristics. The x and R control charts are widely used to monitor the mean and variability of variables. Several variations of the x
