Dear Andy, I need to select a control chart to follow up our customer complaints(for CAPA triggers) , we produce single products (not batches) and there are many attributed customer complaints categories (such as: uncomfortable, broken, wrong parameters ,etc..). number of manufactured products and number of complaints varies each month. My best pick is P chart where I divide the total number of complaints received each month by the number of manufactured products from the previous month (if on January we produced 100 products and on Feb we received 10 complaints then my data point is 10/100=0.1), obviously the only control limit in my interest is the UCL. Do u think I picked the proper control chart? would like to hear your thoughts in general:)
Thanks for the video! What do you recommend when we have much larger subgroup sizes? And do you have any recommendations for how to create the centerline? I imagine it's a rolling statistic rather than something static?

Hey Sunny! That honestly depends on your process, and how stable and mature it is, and there is no hard and fast rule. If you go-live with a control chart and your process appears to be stable over time, then that re-calculation does not have to happen that often. If you go-live and your process is not stable, you can do both - address those sources of special cause variation, and re-calculate your control limits. But do make sure not to include any OOC (Out Of Control) data points when calculating those control limits.

Hey West, Generally the answer is no, unless you're measuring some attribute that can also be zero. For example if you were monitoring the temperature of a cold process, you could realistically measure temperature values below zero. However, if you're simply measuring a small attribute that can never be a negative number, and your lower control limit is a negative number, the general practice is to move that up to zero. -Andy

Great explanation! I think it would be great if you could include some analysis for what the case would be if we include intermediate lines (+/-1 stds & +/-2 stds). Also, what would the conclusion be if we plot a R point outside the UCL, but the x bar plot is within the UCL and LCL. My understanding would be if the R is out of control, the X bar is inaccurate. But does that necessarily mean that x bar is out of control as well, or is it simply x bar in control and R is out of control? Thanks

Hey Samuel!!! Great suggestion, that's definitely a good future video! okay, so it is possible for special cause variation to impact your R chart, but not your X-bar chart. That's why we have both charts, because it's important to monitor both the center of your process (X-bar) and the variation within your process. And either chart can alert you to special cause variation!
Hi, what is the "underlying distribution" of a process?
I have a few questions, I hope that you can help me. 1) How about for subgroup more than 25? 2) Can I calculate the UCL and LCL myself without referring to the constant? especially for big subgroup. 3) I have different orders for a product (mean same setting but different manufacturing date with different batches of raw material), each order with certain number of jumbo rolls, each jumbo rolls will be checked at certain meter length, each meter length will be checked several position from left to right. Should I consider all result is 1 jumbo roll as 1 subgroup and all result in 1 order as 1 subgroup. 4) If we do not use software and only excel, how should we monitor the control chart as we need to calculate the mean, UCL and LCL very frequent?

Hey Chong! For question #1, most tables stop at 25. . I tried to google it but couldn't find anything larger. Honestly, after 25 samples, you should stop using the range value and start using the standard deviation (X-bar and S chart). That transition to the S chart usually happens around 10 samples. For #2, no, you need to constants to calculate the UCL and LCL. You might not need the table I guess if you have the constants memorized. For #3, the question here is all about rational subgrouping, and you want to minimize the variation within a sub-group. I doubt you could argue that all of the measurements on a single roll are 1 rational subgroup. It seems more rationale that whenever you take multiple samples at each meter in length, those measurements would be considered a single rational subgroup. Honestly without knowing your process better it's hard to say what a rational subgroup is. #4, there are excel spreadsheets to perform all of the control chart calculations (UCL, LCL, etc), all you have to do is type in the measurement data
Is the moving range chart and x-bar chart the same?
Hi! May I ask, where did you make your x-bar and r chart? Is there any particular application or website you recommend for me to use in making a control chart? Thank you!

Hello! Great explanataion! One question: at the rational subrouping section, how to imagine the 5 measurements / groups? Does it mean: 5 sample parts are selected from the production same time, and 1-1 measurement is carried out on them or 1 product is selected and that is measured 5 times, so this 5 measurements give the "subgroup"? Thank you

Hey Great question!!! Okay, so a rational subgroup of 5 would mean 5 unique samples measured 1 time. It's not a single sample measured 5 times. That type of variation would reflect the variation in the measurement system, not the variation in the process. -Andy

@@CQEAcademy Oh, thank you for the quick reply! I wondering, how this kind of UCL and LCL calculation can happen in the reality. Imagine there is a production line, (a work station e.g. turner machine). How can I set up the control line for the process? Should the control lines be there, before he begins the job? As planned, every half hour a sampling will be measured (e.g 3pcs/sampling). After 4 hours there will be 8 subgroup- measurement results. After I have 8 result, i calculate the control line. 1. How the process will be monitored before the control lines' calculation, in the first sevaral hours? 2. What is the meaning of the control lines' calculation, if the next and next and next subgroups' result will again and again change the UCL and LCL values? Sorry for the detailed question, i just would like to understand this very well.

@@surnamegm Hey There, Okay, so generally, you want to collect around 25 sub-groups to calculate the control limits. Until you have control limits in place, just consider the chart to be a "run-chart" with no control limits. Also, before calculating the control limits using those first 25 sub-groups, you want to feel reasonably certain that the process was only experiencing normal (inherent) variation. You should not re-calculate the control limits for each new data point. However it's not unreasonable to re-calculate the control limits if a change is made to the process. This is something that you'll get better as assessing over time (the need to re-calculate the control limits). It's hard to create rules for this scenario because every process is different. Hopefully that helps! -Andy

@@agradhanurwedhasakti4865 That's what came to mind when I first read the two replicate measurements, that someone was worried about gage precision. Honestly, what I'd do is run a Gauge R&R, and if the R&R is acceptable - go down to only a single measurement! That might be a huge form of waste (over-processes) by measuring the same sample twice. And if the gauge R&R is bad. . . it might be time to find a new gauge - too much precision should not be overcome by repeated measurements.

Hey Adriana! In your example, do your UCL and LCL change over time, or are they fixed after you perform the calculation?
I wish these things were taught in business degree classes, that would save billions and many companies from closure. Worked one time at a company, where they have appointed a "manager" to be a process manager, who did not know anything about spc nor the variation nor the chart technique, that person did not even know how to draw a flow chart. Needless to say, his whole "procedure of management" went then into the direction of fire fighting and blaming of the workers including constant firings, etc. Hire and fire mentality in sales departments is another example of lack of knowledge and understanding in that field.
