What is it? • Attributes control chart used with data collected in subgroups of varying sizes • Shows how a process changes over time • Control chart used to monitor the proportion of nonconforming units in a sample • Only accommodates pass/fail type inspection • Specifications before plotting
When To Use It • Use p-charts when you can answer yes to these questions: • Do you need to assess system stability? • Is the data a count of nonconforming items per subgroup? • Can the counts be converted to proportions? • Are there only two outcomes to any given check? • Is the time order of subgroups preserved?
Assumptions • Binomial Distribution • Probability of nonconformity is the same for all units • Each unit is independent • The inspection procedure is same for each sample and is carried out consistently from sample to sample
Control Limits • P is the estimate of the long-term process mean established during control-chart setup • Lower Control Limits • Value of P=Standard value • Pros/Cons
Potential Downfalls • Ensuring enough observations are taken for each sample • Accounting for differences in the number of observations from sample to sample
Adequate Sample Size • Things to consider: • 100% inspection of processes • 50% chance of detecting a process shift
POM Example • Samples= 10 • Sample Size= 40 • Number of defects per sample:
