    U-Chart: Attribute (Discrete) Control Charts

    Uploaded by

    Husain Daud Abidi
    The U-Chart is an attribute control chart used to plot defects per unit sampled from processes with a variable sample size, where the number of defects follows a Poisson distribution. It is used to develop upper and lower control limits to monitor a process over time and detect shifts greater than 1.5 standard deviations from the mean number of defects. While the U-Chart can detect large shifts, other charts like EWMA and CUSUM are better for detecting smaller shifts. As shown in the example data plotted in a U-Chart, the process was determined to be in statistical control since it passed all relevant control tests.

    Attribute (Discrete) Control Charts


    U-Chart is an attribute control chart used when plotting: 1) DEFECTS 2) POISSON ASSUMPTIONS SATISFIED 3) VARIABLE SAMPLE SIZE (subgroup size) Each observation is independent. Used to develop upper control limit and lower control limit (UCL and LCL) and determine performance of process over time. Plots the number of defects per unit sampled in a variable sized sample. If defect level is small, use the Poisson Distribution exact limits, DPU < 1.5. Used to detect shifts >1.5 standard deviations. In order to detect smaller shifts there are other charts that can be applied to variable and attribute data such as Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) and Cumulative Sum of Quality Characteristic Measurement (CUSUM). Many statistical software programs have the formulas for the UCL and LCL built-in to quickly examine control offer visual insight to the performance over time.

    Shown below is the data set plotted using a U-Chart.

    The chart indicates that the process is in control. The control tests that were used all passed in this case. Recall there are a variety of control tests and most statistical software programs allow you to select and modify these criteria.
