Variables charts (measurement data)
   
Control charts Is your process stable and in control?
   
X-bar & range Use this if your data has a subgroup size of 2-10 observations.
   
X-bar & sigma Use this if your data has a subgroup size of 11 or more observations.
   
X-MR Use this if your data has a subgroup size of 1 observation.
   
Median Use this to analyze measurement data when you want to plot all observations.
   
Run chart Use this to see trends and patterns if there is not have enough data for a control chart.
   
Histogram Use this to determine if your data has a normal distribution.
   
Capability analysis Use this to determine if your process is capable of producing output within specification limits.
   
   
Attributes (counts data)
   
Control charts Is your process stable and in control?
   
np-chart Use this if your data is a count of nonconforming units and the subgroups are all the same size.
   
p-chart Use this if your data is count of nonconformities and the subgroups are all the same size.
   
c-chart Use this if your data is count of nonconformities and the subgroups are all the same size.
   
u-chart Use this if your data is count of nonconformities and the subgroup size varies.
   
Capability analysis Use this to determine capability for attributes data.
   
   
Pareto (counts in categories)
   
Pareto diagram Use this to analyze counts that are in categories.
