Description
Summary:We provide an overview and discussion of some issues and guidelines related to monitoring univariate processes with control charts. We offer some advice to practitioners to help them set up control charts appropriately and use them most effectively. We propose a four-phase framework for control chart set-up, implementation, use, and maintenance. In addition, our recommendations may be useful for researchers in the field of statistical process monitoring. We identify some current best practices, some misconceptions, and some practical issues that rely on practitioner judgment.
