THE PLAN-DO-CHECK-ACT PROCEDURE
Three-sigma limits are used to set the upper and lower control limits in statistical quality
control charts. Control charts are used to establish limits for a manufacturing or business
process that is in a state of statistical control.
To understand this measurement,
consider the normal bell curve,
which has a normal distribution.
The farther to the right or left a
data point is recorded on the bell
curve, the higher or lower,
respectively, the data is than the
mean. From another point of
view, low values indicate that
the data points fall close to the
mean; high values indicate the
data is widespread and not close
to the average.
