Question
Write the control limits for the R chart
Advertisements
Solution
The calculation of control limits for R chart in two different cases are
| Case (i) When SD is given |
Case (ii) When SD is not given |
|
UCL = `bar"R" + 3sigma_"R"` CL = `bar"R"` LCL = `bar"R" - 3sigma_"R"` |
UCL = `"D"_4bar"R"` CL = `bar"R"` LCL = `"D"_4bar"R"` |
The values of A2, D2 and D4 are given in the table.
