This PPT slide, part of the 138-slide Six Sigma - Statistical Process Control (SPC) PowerPoint presentation, presents an I-MR (Individual-Moving Range) chart, a vital tool in Statistical Process Control (SPC). It illustrates the performance of a specific process, labeled as Process Y, over a series of observations. The chart is divided into 2 main sections: the upper section shows individual values, while the lower section displays the moving range.
In the upper chart, individual values are plotted against observation numbers. A central line indicates the average value, with upper and lower control limits (UCL and LCL) set at 14.21 and 4.69, respectively. The data points fluctuate around the average,, but a notable pattern emerges around observation 6, highlighted in a red box. This indicates a potential special cause, as 4 out of 5 points exceed one standard deviation from the center line on the same side. This could signify an anomaly in the process that warrants further investigation.
The lower chart focuses on the moving range, which is essential for understanding variability in the process. The moving range values are plotted similarly, with their own UCL and LCL set at 5.848 and 0. The data points here show less fluctuation, suggesting that while individual values may vary, the overall consistency of the process is relatively stable.
This slide serves as a practical example of how to interpret I-MR charts. It emphasizes the importance of identifying special causes that may affect process stability. For organizations looking to enhance operational efficiency, understanding these charts can lead to informed decision-making and targeted improvements.
