P-chart vs Np-chart in Lean Six Sigma. All You Need to Know

Quality monitoring relies partly on attribute charts like P chart and NP chart. P charts gauge proportions defective when test bunch sizes stay steady. NP charts instead track non-compliant units directly when batch quantities fluctuate. Both adhere to the binomial distribution modeling independent trials’ success/failure probabilities—the essential attributes a binary nature. P chart and NP […]

Lean Six Sigma Methodology. What is Np-chart?

Quality monitoring and workflow refinement are important for any business to consistently fulfill client demands. Statistical process control approaches prove helpful statistical tools here. One effective gizmo specifically applicable to quality metrics involves the np chart. Short for “nonconforming units”, np charts track defective quantities amid test samples/batches. Employed where characteristics measure binary (compliant/noncompliant), np […]

Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) Charts. Everything to Know

Statistical procedure control methods assume basic estimation parts in organizations over industry spectra now. Among systems, Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA Chart) outlines have significance for distinguishing minor continuous procedure changes better than ordinary control diagrams. EWMA chart delegate exponentially diminishing loads to past information focuses, concentrating additional on ongoing perceptions when exacting normal. This […]

Mastering CUSUM Charts: The Key to Detecting Small Process Shifts

For processes where even slight variations carry major implications, promptly noticing and fixing minor shifts assumes critical priority, and this is where CUSUM charts come in play. While common charts like Shewhart adequately track many scenarios, they can occasionally miss subtle process transformations. This highlights the value of CUSUM charts. They provide a strong yet […]

Out of Control Action Plan (OCAP): A Proven Framework for Sustained Process Control

Keeping methods on track and actually meeting goals is incredibly important. Even the best-designed and implemented processes can experience hiccups or drifts that undermine results and productivity. This is where having an Out of Control Action Plan or OCAP makes a difference – it’s an essential contingency map for organizations to quickly tackle and fix […]
