Box Plot

Statistical plot summarizing median, quartiles, spread and potential outliers.

Examples

  1. 01A box plot of cycle times for five operators shows that one operator has the same median but a much wider spread.
  2. 02The analyst draws a box plot for each shift instead of one average, which reveals that night shift has frequent long outliers.
  3. 03The box plot result leads the team to study the night shift's material supply rather than the work method.
