Great video! Love seeing someone who really understands this teaching it. Too many people on youtube are just slapping +/- 3x the global standard deviation on their line charts and calling it a control chart.
Global standard deviation is far less sensitive to special causes because it includes ALL variations ALL AT ONCE with no regard to time in its calculation. This includes special cause variations which tends to heavily skew your limits. The entire purpose of a control chart and its calculations is to identify significant differences between short term (within subgroup) and long term (between subgroup) variation. For a stable process you would expect the short term outputs of a process to be the about same as the long term outputs.
Thank you! I’m currently studying six sigma and this has helped me understand the components of the xbar and r chart. Showing a step by step explanations with visuals has helped me so much!
Hello Sir! I missed a lecture in my undergraduate studies and you saved my exam score! Your method of explanation is so simple and yet comprehensive. I cannot thank you enough. Your work has helped many people, may you be blessed.
This is well explained. This is how I was taught it, and now that I finally may be getting back into the manufacturing that utilizes these tools, you sir will serve as my refresher course. Thank you.
Hello Sir. I just wanted to thank you so much for taking the time to produce these TH-cam videos. Your method and style of teaching helped me pass my ASQ-CQA exam yesterday. Thank you, Thank you!
Wow! I have been trying to understand this concept for so long. I have referred to so many articles and videos. I wish I had found this sooner. I finally understand it. Great job!
Man, this is amazing information, I just got a bunch of information that was explained to me in a 3 weeks course, and you explained it so smooth!!! Thanks for your content, sir!!
you explain right to the point, the exact points we need, Its a huge help for students who come across these modules among other science subjects and has no basic knowledge, Thank you !👏
Great question! I would recommend using a consistent sample size over time because it will make it easier to manage the control chart over time. Changing sample sizes is not impossible, but you have to make sure that as you change the sample size you don't violate the requirement of having a rational subgroup, and you will have to re-calculate your control limits with your different sample sizes.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge Sir! I received my B.S. in Chemical Engineering in Mexico a few years back. I am a naturalized American citizen now. What are the requisites to apply for the CQE exam? I'd really like to enroll in your academy. I enjoy your videos a lot but more importantly the way you teach is very easy to understand.
Hey There!! I'm glad you enjoyed that video! Okay about the requirements to sit for the exam, check out this video: th-cam.com/video/qPLGuXYPXUI/w-d-xo.html And then to join the academy, check out this free course: cqeacademy.teachable.com/p/top-10-topics That free course will also come with details about the full course - The CQE Master Class
OK, this is about starting the charts but is there also a video or explanation what and how to act when the process gets out of control... when and how to recalculate limits, eliminate outliers etc... Thanks for this intro anyway. Greetings.
I have a few questions, I hope that you can help me. 1) How about for subgroup more than 25? 2) Can I calculate the UCL and LCL myself without referring to the constant? especially for big subgroup. 3) I have different orders for a product (mean same setting but different manufacturing date with different batches of raw material), each order with certain number of jumbo rolls, each jumbo rolls will be checked at certain meter length, each meter length will be checked several position from left to right. Should I consider all result is 1 jumbo roll as 1 subgroup and all result in 1 order as 1 subgroup. 4) If we do not use software and only excel, how should we monitor the control chart as we need to calculate the mean, UCL and LCL very frequent?
Hey Chong! For question #1, most tables stop at 25. . I tried to google it but couldn't find anything larger. Honestly, after 25 samples, you should stop using the range value and start using the standard deviation (X-bar and S chart). That transition to the S chart usually happens around 10 samples. For #2, no, you need to constants to calculate the UCL and LCL. You might not need the table I guess if you have the constants memorized. For #3, the question here is all about rational subgrouping, and you want to minimize the variation within a sub-group. I doubt you could argue that all of the measurements on a single roll are 1 rational subgroup. It seems more rationale that whenever you take multiple samples at each meter in length, those measurements would be considered a single rational subgroup. Honestly without knowing your process better it's hard to say what a rational subgroup is. #4, there are excel spreadsheets to perform all of the control chart calculations (UCL, LCL, etc), all you have to do is type in the measurement data
Hey Sunny! That honestly depends on your process, and how stable and mature it is, and there is no hard and fast rule. If you go-live with a control chart and your process appears to be stable over time, then that re-calculation does not have to happen that often. If you go-live and your process is not stable, you can do both - address those sources of special cause variation, and re-calculate your control limits. But do make sure not to include any OOC (Out Of Control) data points when calculating those control limits.
Thanks for the video! What do you recommend when we have much larger subgroup sizes? And do you have any recommendations for how to create the centerline? I imagine it's a rolling statistic rather than something static?
Hi! May I ask, where did you make your x-bar and r chart? Is there any particular application or website you recommend for me to use in making a control chart? Thank you!
Dear Andy, I need to select a control chart to follow up our customer complaints(for CAPA triggers) , we produce single products (not batches) and there are many attributed customer complaints categories (such as: uncomfortable, broken, wrong parameters ,etc..). number of manufactured products and number of complaints varies each month. My best pick is P chart where I divide the total number of complaints received each month by the number of manufactured products from the previous month (if on January we produced 100 products and on Feb we received 10 complaints then my data point is 10/100=0.1), obviously the only control limit in my interest is the UCL. Do u think I picked the proper control chart? would like to hear your thoughts in general:)
Excellent❤❤❤, One question What if we have different tolerance for each subgroup, For example for subgroup 1 we have +/-2 and for subgroup 2, +/-3 and so on, Have we calculate process capability in this condition?❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for your videos, it really helps a lot. A quick question though, what if I measure each sample 2 times? Do I need to count each of them as 2 samples or as 1 sample but using their average measurement?
Hey Agra, I assume that when you take those 2 measurements, that you're measuring the same characteristic - not two different things (dimensions, etc). I haven't run into that situation before - why would you measure the same sample twice?
@@CQEAcademy Yes, it is the same characteristics but 2 replications. I am not really sure why there are 2 replications because I just retrieved it from old data, probably because there is a doubt in the gage precision
@@agradhanurwedhasakti4865 That's what came to mind when I first read the two replicate measurements, that someone was worried about gage precision. Honestly, what I'd do is run a Gauge R&R, and if the R&R is acceptable - go down to only a single measurement! That might be a huge form of waste (over-processes) by measuring the same sample twice. And if the gauge R&R is bad. . . it might be time to find a new gauge - too much precision should not be overcome by repeated measurements.
is the time period between each sub groups a standard. For example if the time period between each sub groups are 24 hours then what is the use of using control charts because if the time period is too long we cannot estimate fast how our process is under control. Please answer sir
Shut down all other videos on TH-cam for Xbar-R Charts. This is enough. Gold Standard.
May the force be with you.

Great video! Love seeing someone who really understands this teaching it. Too many people on youtube are just slapping +/- 3x the global standard deviation on their line charts and calling it a control chart.
Does that +/-3x global stv still senstive enough to capture the abnormal signal? what is the pro and cons for those 2 methods?
Global standard deviation is far less sensitive to special causes because it includes ALL variations ALL AT ONCE with no regard to time in its calculation. This includes special cause variations which tends to heavily skew your limits. The entire purpose of a control chart and its calculations is to identify significant differences between short term (within subgroup) and long term (between subgroup) variation.

Do we not do a "X bar S chart" for this one since our subgroup size is more than 8?
i am from india this helped me very much for my exam tomorrow thank you very much....

Thank you for sharing and very clear explanination on setting up the UCL & LCL. How frequent do we need to review and recalculate the Control Limit?
