The statistical values are calculated in a stored procedure. They are described in the following table:
|
Value |
Description |
Calculation |
Note |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Actual Percent Out of Specification Limits (ActPercentOut |
The actual percentage of data that falls outside of specification limits. |
Total number of result records outside of specification limits/Total number of individual result records |
|
|
C Chart |
Specifies how standard deviation for the C Chart is calculated. |
|
NormalSample- ū is the value calculated for UBar. |
|
DPMO Chart |
Specifies how standard deviation for the DPMO Chart is calculated. |
|
NormalSample- NumDefectOps is the num_defect_opp configured for a characteristic. ū is the value calculated for UBar. |
|
Defects per Million Opportunities (DPMO) |
Specifies the average count of defects for every 1 million opportunities, where a single unit may have more than 1 opportunity for a specific defect. This value is only applicable for counted attribute characteristics. |
|
N is the number of results data for a characteristic. NumDefectOps is the value the user enters for number of defect opportunities. |
|
Fraction Defective |
Specifies the ratio of defects to sample size, for a single sample point. |
|
|
|
Lower Reasonable Limit (LRL) |
Specifies the lower reasonable limit for a specification that is obtained from the most recent sample. |
Target – ((Target – LSL) x LRV) if lrv_is_mult is True, and LSL is not null; otherwise, LRL = LRV. |
LSL is the lower specification limit. LRV is the value configured by the user. |
|
Moving Average |
Specifies the average of individual readings from a number of consecutive individual readings. |
|
s is the moving average span configured for a characteristic.
i is the number of the sample to which the moving average value is assigned. i is always less than or equal to N – s + 1, where N represents the number of individual values. |
|
Moving Average Bar |
Specifies the average of moving averages. |
|
N is the number of results data.
i is the number of the sample to which the moving range value is assigned. s is the moving average span configured for a characteristic. |
|
Moving Range |
Specifies the difference between the highest and lowest individual readings among a number of consecutive individual readings. |
|
s is the moving average span configured for a characteristic.
i is the number of the sample to which the moving range value is assigned. i is always less than or equal to N – s + 1, where N represents the number of individual values. |
|
Moving Sigma |
Specifies the standard deviation (σ) from a number of consecutive individual readings. |
|
s is the moving average span configured for a characteristic.
i is the number of the sample to which the moving sigma value is assigned. i is always less than or equal to N – s + 1.
|
|
NP Chart |
Specifies how standard deviation for the NP chart is calculated. |
|
NormalSample-
|
|
NPBar and CBar ( |
Specifies the average for binary and counted attribute characteristics as a count. |
|
N is the number of results data for a characteristic. i is the number of sample from which the Number of ((Defectives)/ (Defects)) and actual sample size are obtained. |
|
PBar and UBar ( |
Specifies the average for binary and counted attribute characteristics as a ratio to sample size. |
|
N is the number of results data for a characteristic. i is the number of sample from which the Number of ((Defectives)/ |
|
P Chart |
Specifies how standard deviation for the P Chart is calculated. |
|
NormalSample-
|
|
Process Capability Index (Cp) |
Specifies the process capability index, which is based on the upper and lower specification limits. |
When USL and LSL contain non-null values: When USL or LSL is null for a characteristic: |
|
|
Process Capability Index (CpK) |
Specifies the process capability index accounting for the sample mean, which is based on the upper and lower specification limits. |
When USL and LSL contain non-null values: When USL contains a non-null value, but LSL contains a null value: When LSL contains a non-null value, but USL contains a null value: |
USL is the upper specification limit. LSL is the lower specification limit.
Cp is the process capability index. |
|
Process Performance Index (Pp) |
Specifies the process performance index, which is based on the upper and lower specification limits. |
When USL and LSL contain a non-null value: When either the USL or the LSL contain a null value: |
USL is the upper specification limit. LSL is the lower specification limit. σ is the standard deviation. |
|
Process Performance Index (PpK) |
Specifies the process performance index accounting for the sample mean, which is based on the upper and lower specification limits. |
When USL and LSL contain non-null values: When USL contains a non-null value, but LSL contains a null value: When LSL contains a non-null value, but USL contains a null value: |
USL is the upper specification limit. LSL is the lower specification limit.
σ is the standard deviation. Pp is the process performance index. |
|
Range |

Maximum Individual Reading – Minimum Individual Reading |
|
|
Range Average of Subgroups (RBar) |
Specifies the average range of values from various samples of equal size. |
|
S is the total number of samples used for calculating the process statistics. |
|
Sample Average (Mean) |
Specifies the average of a set of data. |
|
N is the number of values (individual readings).
The arithmetic mean is calculated from the set of individual readings. |
|
