Use an X bar S Chart (Average and Stdev Chart) to Evaluate Stability of Processes Using Variable Data
Example of a QI Macros X and Standard Deviation Chart
X bar S data Looks Like This
The X bar S Chart can help you evaluate the cycle time for almost any process: making a widget, answering a customer call, seating a customer, delivering a pizza, or servicing an appliance. This chart is especially useful when you do this many times a day.
Collecting the data could be expensive if you measured every time you did it. Using a small sample (typically 6 or more), however, you can effectively measure and evaluate the process.
Evaluate the standard deviation (S) Chart first. If it is "out of control," so is the process. If the S Chart looks okay, then evaluate the X chart.
Tip: If all of your data is in one column, QI Macros will prompt you for your subgroup size.
A subgroup is a group of measurements produced under the same set of conditions.
Note: The XbarS Chart in QI Macros was developed to support a maximum of 800 columns of data.
QI Macros also has an XbarS Chart Template in Excel (XbarS Six Pack)
