X-bar R Chart

Control chart pair monitoring process average and within-subgroup range for variable data.

Examples

  1. 01Every hour, the operator measures 5 shafts and plots the average and range on an X-bar R chart.
  2. 02The supplier sends X-bar R charts for each key characteristic, and the customer checks both charts, not only the averages.
  3. 03When the average on the X-bar R chart shifts upwards while the range stays stable, the team looks for a setting change rather than a worn tool.
