EditSteps

  1. 1
    Remember the data points/sample data should have at least 10 to 15 drawn in particular time frame(say weekly or monthly)
  2. 2
    Identify and isolate the common cause of variation and special cause of variation
    • If your process is well behaving then 90% of the time, your data points always falls with in +/- 3 sigma limits
    • Data points on the mean value is very consistent
  3. 3
    If you see any trend of 8 or more data points above mean or below mean, then depend on the type of Metric that you are measuring you need to take the context of your measurement.
  4. 4
    Depend on the type of metric you can decide whether your process is with in its control or any signals existing
  5. 5
    If you see any trend upward or downward 6 points or more, then definitely it's because of special cause of variation however you need to have thorough analysis in place to confirm the same but that 6 point up or down is in desirable direction for the business then the cause may be because of stringent/dedicated/extreme focus on delivering your service/product results such 6 point up/down.
    • If you see these types of trends, then "depend on" the type of Metric you need to recalculate your upper control limit and lower control limits
