    Chapter 13The main objective is to address the

    changing characteristics over time.

    By monitoring this characteristic, we arebetter able to control the production of

    goods and services, thereby ensuring

    better quality.

    Run Chart

    A run chart is a sequential plot of

    individual data values over time.

    One axis (usually vertical) is used forthe data values, and the other axis

    (usually the horizontal) is used for

    the time sequence.

    Example: MeasuringAircraft Altimeters

    Treating the 80 altimeter errors in Table 13-1 as a string of

    consecutive measurements, construct a run chart by

    using a vertical axis for the errors and a horizontal axis to

    identify the order of the sample data.

    consecutive measurements, construct a run chart by

    using a vertical axis for the errors and a horizontal axis to

    identify the order of the sample data.

    We notice that the values on the right of the chart show

    more fluctuations than those on the left of the chart. This

    increased variation could mean that the altimeters are notmeeting FAA standards. The movement should be

    investigated.

    Definition

    A process is statistically stable (or withinstatistical control) if it has naturalvariation, with no patterns, cycles, or anyunusual points.

    Only when a process is statistically stablecan its data be treated as if they came from

    a population with a constant mean,standard deviation, distribution, and othercharacteristics.

    Random variation

    Random variation is due to chance; it is thetype of variation inherent in any process

    that is not capable of producing every goodor service exactly the same way every time.

    Assignable variation

    Assignable variation results from causesthat can be identified.

    Definition

    A control chart of a process characteristic (such

    as mean or variation) consists of value plotted

    sequentially over time, and it includes a center

    line as well as a lower control limit (LCL) and an

    upper control limit (UCL). The center line

    represents a central value of the characteristicmeasurements, whereas the control limits are

    boundaries used to separate and identify any

    points considered to be unusual .

    Slide 36

    Copyright 2004 Pearson Education, Inc.

    Criteria for Determining When a

    Process Is Not Statistically Stable

    (Out of Statistical Control)

    1. There is a pattern, trend, or cycle that is obviously

    not random (such as those depicted in Figure 13-2).

    2. There is a point lying beyond the upper or lower

    control limits.

    3. Run of 8 Rule: There are eight consecutive points all

    above or all below the center line. (With a

    statistically stable process, there is a 0.5 probabilitythat a point will be above or below the center line, so

    it is very unlikely that eight consecutive points will

    all be above the center line or below it.)

    We will use only the three out-of-control

    criteria listed previously, but some

    businesses use additional criteria such as these:

    There are 6 consecutive points all increasing or all

    decreasing.

    There are 14 consecutive point alternating between up

    and down (such as up, down, up, down, and so on).

    Two out of 3 consecutive points are beyond control

    limits that are 2 standard deviation away from

    centerline.

    Four out of 5 consecutive points are beyond control

    limits that are 1 standard deviations away from the

    centerline.

    variation is within statistical control.

    1. There is a pattern, trend, or cycle that is obviously notrandom: Going from left to right, there is a pattern of

    upward trend.

    2. There is a point (the rightmost point) that lies above

    the upper control limit.

    Example: StatisticalProcess Control

    Examine the Rchart shown in the Minitab display for the

    preceding example and determine whether the process

    variation is within statistical control.

    We conclude that the variation (not necessarily the mean)of the process is out of statistical control. Because the

    variation appears to be increasing with time, immediate

    corrective action must be taken to fix the variat ion among

    the altimeter errors.

    Examination of the control chart shows that the process

    mean is out of statistical control because at least one of

    the three out-of-control criteria is not satisfied.

    Specifically, the third criterion is not satisfied becausethere are 8 (or more) consecutive points all below the

    center line. Also, there does appear to be a pattern of an

    upward trend. Again, immediate corrective action is

    required to fix the production process.

    Interpretation: Using the three out-of-control criteria listed

    in Section 13-2, we conclude that this process is out of

    statistical control since from the p-chart there appears to be

    an upward trend, and there are eight consecutive points all

    lying above the centerline (Run of 8 Rule). Based on thesedata, public health policies affecting respiratory tract

    infections should be modified to cause a decrease in the

    death rate.
