INVESTIGATE
Investigate any out-of-control points in your process.
DISCOVER
1. Any out of control pattern means that something is not normal.
2. Something different is going on. Something is affecting the
process.
3. It is important to figure out what it is -- good or bad.
ACT
1. If its bad, you have to track the cause and get rid of it.
2. If its good, you want to know too. Then you can make sure
that you keep doing things that way.

line is used as the process center when applying the "Western
Electric" rules during control chart analysis (selection D).
The center line can be determined using the folowing:
A. Mean (Average) (I.A.D.A)
- Use the average of the data points in the LIMITS range
to calculate the center line. This is the most common
method used to determine the process center line.
B. Median (I.A.D.B)
- Use the median of the data points in the LIMITS range
to calculate the center line. This method is often
to minimize the effect of outliers and unusual data
values on the process center calculation. The median
is the value for which an equal number of data values
fall above and below.
C. User Defined (I.A.D.C)

You may select the method used to calculate the control limits
using data in the Limits Range (I.A.B). NOTE: the control
limits are used as +- 3 standard deviations when applying the
"Western Electric" rules during control chart analysis
(selection D). The center line can be determined as folows:
A. TABLE look-up (I.A.E.A)
- This approximates the control limits from statistical
tables or formulas. This is the traditional method
used to calculate control limits. In case where your
process may be out of control in the LIMITS range,
this method is recommended.
B. 3*Sigma(N) (I.A.E.B)
- This approximates the control limits using +- 3 standard
deviations with N degrees of freedom. This method should
only be used to calculate control limits, IF YOU ARE
CERTAIN THAT YOUR PROCESS IS STABLE AND IN CONTROL in the
LIMITS range.
C. 3*Sigma(N-1) (I.A.E.C)
- This approximates the control limits using +- 3 standard
deviations with N-1 degrees of freedom. This method should
only be used to calculate control limits, IF YOU ARE
CERTAIN THAT YOUR PROCESS IS STABLE AND IN CONTROL in the
LIMITS range.
D. M*Sigma(N) (I.A.E.D)
- This approximates the control limits using +- M standard
deviations with N degrees of freedom - where you are prompted
for the value of M. This method should only be used to calculate
control limits, IF YOU ARE CERTAIN THAT YOUR PROCESS IS
STABLE AND IN CONTROL in the LIMITS range. This is commonly
used with M<3 in an attempt to reduce the variability of
a stable, in-control process.
E. M*Sigma(N-1) (I.A.E.E)
- This approximates the control limits using +- M standard
deviations with N-1 degrees of freedom - where you are prompted
for the value of M. This method should only be used to calculate
control limits, IF YOU ARE CERTAIN THAT YOUR PROCESS IS
STABLE AND IN CONTROL in the LIMITS range. This is commonly
used with M<3 in an attempt to reduce the variability of
a stable, in-control process.
F. 3*User-Defined-Sigma (I.A.E.F)
- This approximates the control limits using +- 3 times a
standard deviation you provide. This method might be used
in an attempt to reduce the variability of a stable, in-
control process. Several types of short run control charts
(WAIT FOR NEXT RELEASE OF SPC EX) eliminate any need for
this though.

You may display a data distribution function on a control chart.
The distribution graphic may be either a HISTOGRAM, frequency
POLYGON, or CDF. The distribution graphic is calculated using
the data values in the STATS (I.A.C) range. For XBAR control
charts, there must be a distinction between the collection of
averages and the collection of individual data points - this
is made by selecting and "INDIVIDUALS" distribution graphic.

Control Chart Analysis Minimum Pattern Lengths (I.A.M)
(defaults given below)
You may use this to set the minimum length required for each
control chart out-of-control condition to be reported after
the automatic control chart analysis (selection D). Various
"Western Electric" type rules are applied to test for these
conditions which suggest the presence of un-natural causes of
variation in a process.
A. run (I.A.M.A) [default: 7]
- A run is and sequence of points which all fall on the
same side of the center line. A process which is in
control (only natural causes of variation) should have
values randomly above and below the centerline.
B. inc_trend (I.A.M.B) [default: 7]
- An increasing trend is a sequence of points for which
each is higher/larger than the previous. A process which
is in control (only natural causes of variation) should
have values which are randomly above and below the
preceeding value.
C. dec_trend (I.A.M.C) [default: 7]
- A decreasing trend is a sequence of points for which
each is lower/smaller than the previous. A process which
is in control (only natural causes of variation) should
have values which are randomly above and below the
preceeding value.
D. shift_up (I.A.M.D) [default: 10]
- A shift-up is a sequence of points for which the first half
is below the center line and the second half is above the
center line. A process which is in control (only natural
causes of variation) should have values which are randomly
above and below the center line.
E. shift_down (I.A.M.E) [default: 10]
- A shift-down is a sequence of points for which the first half
is above the center line and the second half is below the
center line. A process which is in control (only natural
causes of variation) should have values which are randomly
above and below the center line.
F. cyclic (I.A.M.F) [default: 10]
- A cycle is a sequence of points which alternate up and down.
A process which is in control (only natural causes of variation)
should have values which are randomly above and below the
preceeding value.
G. mixture (I.A.M.G) [default: 10]
- A mixture is a sequence of points which are more than 1 sigma
above or below the center line. A normally distributed process
which is in control (only natural causes of variation) should
have about 68% of its values within +- 1 sigma (standard
deviation) of its average (mean).
H. stratification (I.A.M.H) [default: 10]
- Stratification is a sequence of points which are all within
+- 1 sigma of the center line. A normally distributed process
which is in control (only natural causes of variation) should
have about 32% of its values more than 1 sigma (standard
deviation) above or below its average (mean).

Save\retrieve Options File Help (I.I)
Current and past settings for options may be saved and recalled
for future use using this menu. In particular, you can use this
menu to save the current options settings to a named (provided
by you) file (I.I.B) which can be later specifically referenced
in a data file ( *<file-name> on first line ).
A. Save Options for Start-ups (I.I.A)
- This feature saves the current option settings to a default
"options file" which is loaded every time you start the program.
The default options file contains the option default settings
until you chang it using this option (I.I.A).
B. Save Options to File (I.I.B)
- Current option settings may also be saved to an "options file"
named by you. This file can be used with Multiple Chart files
to display the output using the specified options file. If the
special "options file" is to be used for all charts/graphs in
the Multiple Chart, the filename would appear in the first line
with an asterisk next to it. For example, if the special "options
file" is called "myopts.cfg", a Multiple Chart file may look like
this:
*myopts.cfg
Title
Subtitle
GPA.DAT BAR
GPA.DAT PARETO
GPA.DAT PIE
If the special "options file" is to be used for a specific chart
or graph the file name is entered after the chart type. The
Multiple Chart data file may look like this:
Title
Subtitle
GPA.DAT BAR
GPA.DAT PARETO myopts.cfg
GPA.DAT PIE
C. Load Start-up Options (I.I.C)
- Use this to load the Start-up options file. This is the file
updated using selection (I.I.A).
D. Load Options from File (I.I.D)
- Current options settings may also be saved to an "Options" file
that you name/create (I.I.B). Use this option to load a
user-defined options file.
E. Reset Options to Defaults (I.I.E)
- You may also easily reset all the options to the original SPCEX
software default settings using this selection. This is
particularly useful if you have changed a lot of options and
want to start over with the default settings.
*** This does not affect the options settings in the Start-up
options file that are loaded when the program is re-started.
You must save the default settings (I.I.A) after resetting
the options to their defaul to change the start-up settings.
