Control Chart Constants and Formulas

This document provides tables of constants and formulas for control charts used in statistical process control. The tables include factors and divisors for calculating control limits for various types of control charts including X-bar and R charts, individual and moving range charts, and attribute charts for proportions, numbers, and rates. Subgroup sizes from 2 to 25 are shown for variables charts and methods for constant and variable sample sizes are provided for attribute charts.
