Control charts are graphs that study how a process changes over time. They are also known as Shewhart charts or Statistical Process Control Charts (SPCC).  Control charts have a central line for the average, an upper line for the upper control limit, and a lower line for the lower control limit. These lines are determined from historical data.  Process capability is a quality control measure that determines if a process can meet customer requirements and expectations. It is a quantifiable comparison of the Voice of the Customer (specs, requirements, or expectations of your customer) and the... Show more
