    Study Notes

    STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL

    • Statistical process control is used to evaluate variation in a process where the measurement is an attribute (i.e., discrete or count data).

    ATTRIBUTE CONTROL CHARTS

    • Attribute control charts are used to monitor the proportion of defective items or the number of defects per unit.
    • There are two main types of attribute control charts based on:
      • Binomial Distribution: p chart and np chart
      • Poisson Distribution: u chart and c chart

    P CHART

    • A p chart is used to monitor the proportion of defective items where each item can be classified into one of two categories (e.g., pass or fail).
    • It is used to monitor process stability over time and identify instabilities.

    LANEY P' CHART

    • A Laney P' chart is used to monitor the proportion of defective items and adjust for overdispersion or underdispersion in the data.
    • It is used when the data exhibit overdispersion or underdispersion, causing a traditional P chart to show an increased number of points outside the control limits or too few points outside the control limits.

    NP CHART

    • An NP chart is used to monitor the number of defective items where each item can be classified into one of two categories (e.g., pass or fail).
    • It is used to monitor process stability over time and identify instabilities.

    U CHART

    • A U chart is used to monitor the number of defects per unit, where each item can have multiple defects.
    • It is used to monitor process stability over time and identify instabilities.
    • The probability formula for a U chart is based on the Poisson distribution: 𝑒 −λ λ 𝑥 / 𝑥!
    • The average number of nonconformities per inspection unit is 𝑢 = 𝑥 / 𝑛, where 𝑥 is the total number of nonconformities and 𝑛 is the number of inspection units.
