Control Charts Cheat Sheet

Selecting a Control Chart:

Data Type	Measurement Type	Subgroup Size	Control Chart
Variable	Individual	1	Individual & MR (Moving Range)
Variable	Continuous	2-9 (small)	X-bar & R
Variable	Continuous	10+ (large)	X-bar & S
Attribute	Defective	Constant	p Chart
Attribute	Defective	Variable	np Chart
Attribute	Defect	Constant	c Chart
Attribute	Defect	Variable	u Chart

Control Chart	Center Line	Upper Control Limit (UCL)	Lower Control Limit (LCL)
X-bar Chart	$$\bar{X}$$	$$\bar{X} + A_2 \bar{R}$$	$$\bar{X} - A_2 \bar{R}$$
R Chart	$$\bar{R}$$	$$D_4 \bar{R}$$	$$D_3 \bar{R}$$
S Chart	$$\bar{S}$$	$$B_4 \bar{S}$$	$$B_3 \bar{S}$$
p Chart	$$\bar{p}$$	$$\bar{p} + 3\sqrt{\frac{\bar{p}(1-\bar{p})}{n}}$$	$$\bar{p} - 3\sqrt{\frac{\bar{p}(1-\bar{p})}{n}}$$
np Chart	$$n\bar{p}$$	$$n\bar{p} + 3\sqrt{n\bar{p}(1-\bar{p})}$$	$$n\bar{p} - 3\sqrt{n\bar{p}(1-\bar{p})}$$
c Chart	$$\bar{c}$$	$$\bar{c} + 3\sqrt{\bar{c}}$$	$$\bar{c} - 3\sqrt{\bar{c}}$$
u Chart	$$\bar{u}$$	$$\bar{u} + 3\sqrt{\frac{\bar{u}}{n}}$$	$$\bar{u} - 3\sqrt{\frac{\bar{u}}{n}}$$
