X-bar and S
X-bar and S charts are
preferable to their more familiar
counterparts, X-bar and R
charts, when either
1. Sample size n is moderately,say
n>10 or 12
2. Sample size n is variable

Operation of X-bar and S
charts

Construction and Operation of X-
bar and S charts

Setting up and operating control
charts for x-bar and s requires
about the same sequence of
steps as those for x-bar and R
charts
Except for each sample we must
calculate sample average x-bar
and Sample standard deviation S

1.2 The and S control
charts with variable sample
size


The and S control charts with variable
sample size

are relatively easy to apply in cases
where the sample sizes are variable
In this case, we should use a
weighted average approach in
calculating and
