Individuals Moving Range (XmR) chart data examples

Data is organized as one column of ratios or measurements.

Rule: Evaluate the range chart first. If it is "out of control," that means the process variation is out of control.
The X chart uses the average range (Rbar) to calculate its UCL and LCL. So if the range chart is out of control, the calculations for the X chart limits will be incorrect. If the range chart is in control, then evaluate the X chart.
