VARIABLES DATA
• X-bar chart
• S-chart
• Individuals Control chart
• Moving Range Control chart
X-bar Chart and S-Chart
• Special purpose variation of the X-bar and R chart
• Subgroup size of 11 or more
• Monitor the effects of process improvement theories.
• Uses subgroup standard deviation
• Uses each individual reading to calculate variability = more effective
measure of the process spread.

S-Chart
Individual Control Chart
• Monitors the mean of
your process when you
have continuous data that
are individual
observations NOT in
subgroups.
• Used to monitor process
stability over time so that
you can identify and
correct instabilities in a
process.
Moving Range Control Chart
• measures how variation
changes over time when data
are collected as individual
measurements rather than in
subgroups
• Alternative way to estimate
process variation when we
have individual observations
and thus cannot calculate the
standard deviation for each
subgroup

• Np-chart
• P-chart
• C-chart
• U-chart
NP-Chart
• Used with data collected
in subgroups that are the
same size.
• Shows how the process,
measured by the number
of nonconforming items
it produces, changes over
time
• Always described in a
yes/no, pass/fail, go/no
go form
P-Chart
• Used with data collected
in subgroups of varying
sizes.
• Shows proportion on
nonconforming items
rather than the actual
count and how the process
changes over time
• Always described in a
yes/no, pass/fail, go/no go
form
C-Chart
• Used with data
collected in subgroups
that are the same size
• Shows how the
process, measured by
the number of
nonconformities per
item or group of items,
changes over time
U-Chart
• Used with data collected
in subgroups of varying
sizes
• Shows how the process,
measured by the number
of nonconformities per
item or group of items,
changes over time
