What is an EWMA Chart? The EWMA chart (Exponentially-Weighted Moving Average Chart) is a control chart monitoring the exponentially-weighted average of previous and present subgroup means. The more recent data get more weight than older data. It detects the shift of the process mean from the process target over time. The underlying distribution of the […]

CumSum Chart with Minitab
What is a CumSum Chart? The CumSum chart (also called cumulative sum control chart or CUSUM chart) is a control chart of monitoring the cumulative sum of the subgroup mean deviations from the process target. It detects the shift of the process mean from the process target over time. The underlying distribution of the CuSum […]
NP Chart with Minitab
What is a NP Chart? The NP chart is a control chart monitoring the count of defectives. It plots the number of defectives in one subgroup as a data point. The subgroup size of the NP-chart is constant. The underlying distribution of this control chart is binomial distribution. NP Chart Equations NP-chart Data Point: Center […]
Xbar S Chart with Minitab
What is a Xbar S Chart? The X-S chart (also called Xbar S chart) is a control chart for continuous data with a constant subgroup size greater than ten. The Xbar chart plots the average of a subgroup as a data point. The S chart plots the standard deviation within a subgroup as a data […]
Two Sample Proportion Test with Minitab
What is the Two Sample Proportion Test? The two sample proportion test is a hypothesis test to compare the proportions of one certain event occurring in two populations following the binomial distribution. Two Sample Proportion Test Assumptions How the Two Sample Proportion Test Works When np ≥ 5 and np(1 – p) ≥ 5, we […]
