Use u Charts when counting defects and the sample size varies

u Charts determine stability of "counted" data (e.g., errors per bill, dents in a car door, etc.) when there can be more than one defect per unit and the sample size varies.


u Chart data looks like this:

Example of a u Chart created by QI Macros:

Uneven control limits result from the varying sample sizes.


It's Easy to Draw a u Chart in Excel Using QI Macros

QI Macros adds a new menu to Excel and provides two ways to create charts: a u Chart macro and a u Chart template:

I purchased QI Macros just to run control charts (worth the price just for that). I had NO idea what a robust product you have developed, and what an amazing bargain I was getting. File me under exceeded customer expectations.

What is the difference between defects and defective items?

Defects - u Charts

Each item can have more than one defect:
defects

  • scratches on a car door
  • errors on a bill
  • missing products in a shipment

Defective Items - p Charts

Each item is only counted once:
p chart of defective items

  • car doors that need to be repainted
  • bills that are wrong
  • incomplete shipments
