Construct Control Attribute charts P and NP chart on Minitab

Introduction:
In statistical quality control, the p-chart is a type of control chart used to monitor the proportion
of nonconforming units in a sample, where the sample proportion nonconforming is defined as
the ratio of the number of nonconforming units to the sample size. The p-chart only
accommodates "pass"/"fail"-type inspection as determined by one or more go-no go gauges or
tests, effectively applying the specifications to the data before they are plotted on the chart.
In statistical quality control, the np-chart is a type of control chart used to monitor the number
of nonconforming units in a sample. It is an adaptation of the p-chart and used in situations
where personnel find it easier to interpret process performance in terms of concrete numbers of
units rather than the somewhat more abstract proportion.

Objectives:

The objective of this lab is to construct p and np chart for a given data using Minitab.

Procedure:

 First of all Open Minitab and type all the data in the column

.
Figure 1

 Click on stats>control charts>attribute charts>Pchart then a window will appear as in

figure 2.

 Select the column of subgroups and the column for variables as in figure 3 than press OK
the p chart will show as in figure 4.

Figure 3
 Now for NP chart the method is same only select np chart instead of p chart.

Figure 4 Figure 5
 By pressing np option and clicking ok the NP chart will appear as shown in figure 6.

 For variable sub group size open Minitab and type all the data and subgroups in the
column as in figure 7.

Figure 7

 Use same process as for p chart of constant size of subgroups than the p chart of is type
of data will show in figure 8.

CONCLUSION:
From this lab concluded that the p and np chart is easily constructed on minitab, and its solution
is easily to analyse.
