How We Work Turning Data Into Action
The graph below is a control chart depicting the pattern of a vacuum tag of a discrete production process. This chart highlights continued data points that vary from the control limit. A yellow dot appears if a point is off the control limit for seven consecutive observations. This type of chart gives operators a quick view of a process over time.
