LCL (Lower Control Limit)

Lower Control Limit

Statistically calculated lower boundary on a control chart representing expected common-cause variation.

Examples

  1. 01The LCL on the fill-weight chart is 498.6 g, calculated from the last 30 subgroups.
  2. 02The team reviews the LCL after the new filling head is installed because the process average has changed.
  3. 03When a point falls below the LCL, the operator checks the dosing nozzle for blockage before continuing.
