Control Chart
Purpose: to monitor process output to see if
it is random.
A time ordered plot, representative of
sample statistics obtained from an on going
process.
Upper and lower control limits define the
range of acceptable variation.

Control Charts
A control chart is a time ordered plot of sample
statistics.
It is used to distinguish between random
variability and non random variability.
Theoretically any value is possible as the
distribution extends to infinity.
99.7% of all values will be within + 3 standard
deviations.
The basis of control chart is sample distribution
which essentially describes random variability.
10-15 Quality Control
Control Charts
A sample statistic that falls between UCL and
LCL suggests ( does not prove) randomness and a
value outside suggests ( does not prove)
nonrandomness.
