FAQ

FAQ

Common checks before adoption.

Are control limits calculated automatically?

Can it mark out-of-control points?

Yes. Values beyond the control limits flow into a red-point series on the charts.

Can subgroup size be changed?

Yes. The workbook includes common subgroup constants and can be extended for your shop-floor rules.
