Quality Control Charts Startup Panel - Attributes Tab

Select the Attribute tab of the Quality Control Charts Startup Panel to access the options described here.

C chart for attributes. Click the C chart for attributes option to select this analysis. This analysis produces a C chart for attributes. In this chart, we plot the number of defects and it is constructed based on the Poisson distribution.

U chart for attributes. Click the U chart for attributes option to select this analysis. This analysis produces a U chart for attributes. In this chart we plot the rate of defects, that is, the number of defects divided by the number of units inspected. Like the C chart, it is based on the Poisson distribution, but unlike the C chart, this chart does not require a constant number of units, and it can be used, for example, when the batches (samples) are of different sizes.

Np chart for attributes

Click the Np chart for attributes option to select this analysis. This analysis produces an Np chart for attributes. In this chart, we plot the number of defective items (per batch, per day, per machine). The control limits in this chart are based on the binomial distribution.

P chart for attributes. Click the P chart for attributes option to select this analysis. This analysis produces a P chart for attributes. In this chart, we plot the fraction of defective items (per batch, per day, per machine, etc.). The control limits in this chart are based on the binomial distribution.

Pareto Chart Analysis. Click the Pareto Chart Analysis option to select this analysis. This analysis produces a Pareto chart. This option allows the user to plot a histogram by category, where the bars in the histogram are sorted in descending order. Such plots allow for the easy identification of the primary sources (categories) of quality problems.
