Creating and Viewing Control Charts

Trigger:

Concept

You can use Control Charts to chart all or only specific quality results associated with a
collection plan. Control charts are used to determine whether process stability has been upset by
special or assignable causes.
 
Oracle Quality provides the following types of control charts and pairs of control charts: 
 Xbar and R charts (XBar R): A pair of line graph charts which plot subgroups of data
collected over a continuous period of time.   
 Individual X and Moving Range charts (XmR): A pair of charts based on individual data
points instead of subgroups.   
 Xbar and S charts (XBar S): A pair of line charts similar to the Xbar and R charts except
that the standard deviation is used instead of the range when the S chart is plotted. 

In this topic, you will create and view Control Charts.
