    Statistics Statistics Understanding Statistics Your unit provides a wide array of statistical and data reports (charts) for the control of manufac- turing processes. The following provides a description of the control chart for variables and an outline of the procedure for its use. Known as the -R chart (pronounced X-bar-R), the chart for variables can be used whenever a quality characteristic can be measured and expressed by a numerical value.

  • Page 98: The Normal Curve

    Statistics 5.1.2 The Normal Curve Most processes in statistical control have a fixed pattern of variation. The mathematical curve that describes this pattern is known as the normal curve (see a) Fig. 5-2:). The normal curve is symmetrical about the average. It is high in the middle and becomes smaller as the distance from the average increases.
  • Page 99 Statistics Designate the Sample Size It is usually desirable to keep the sample size small so that variation within the sample is at a minimum, but not so small that statistical validity is lost. The control chart described in this docu- ment is structured for a sample size of five units.
  • Page 100 Statistics Calculate Process Center Lines After data for 20 samples of five have been plotted, calculate the center lines for both the aver- age and range plottings. The center line for the average chart is known as the grand average ( ) and is the average of all of the sample averages.
  • Page 101 Statistics Sometimes a process takes time to stabilize after start-up. If the indication of special cause vari- ation occurs only in the first few samples, continue to take several more samples and recalculate the limits by omitting the special cause values. However, if the indications of special cause varia- tion occur other than at start-up, action should be taken to identify and correct the cause, and the process re-started.

    Statistics Special cause variation may be indicated by one of the following situations: • A point outside a control limit. • A shift, with several consecutive points inside a control limit but on the same side of the center line. •...
