3.2.3 - SPC Rule Introduction

Description

Out-of-control signals (rule violations) occur in a variety of situations, but all the signals indicate a change in the process where it is considered to be abnormal, or out of control. Some signals include: six points in a row that are increasing or decreasing, eight points in a row that are farther than one standard deviation away from the centerline, or fourteen points in a row that are alternating up and down. When used properly, these signals can identify important changes that can help to improve or maintain the process.
