Use the Compare Dataset Statistics page (QS_ANLZ_STSSUM_SPG) to view a control chart associated with the selected subgroups.

Navigation:

  • Select the View Chart button on the Data Entry From Access List - Review page: Results tab or on the Data Entry By Control Plan - Review page: Results tab.

  • Select the Control Chart in the Display Graph field on the Review Ctrl Plan Performance - Stream Review inquiry page.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Control Chart page 1 of 2. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Control Chart page 1 of 2

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Control Chart page 2 of 2. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Control Chart page 2 of 2

In the upper portion of the page, the control chart associated with the subgroups that you selected appears.

The control chart is rendered as two line graphs for plotting means and variance information. Each point on the control chart represents an individual subgroup.

To the left of each graph, the system displays the values and the appropriate labels for upper control limit (UCL), mean (CL), and lower control limit (LCL).

Note: Control limit labels are not set to scale; however, the control limit boundaries are overlaid to scale on each chart.

In the upper portion of the page, the system displays the control limit status, subgroup size, and unit of measure.

Field or Control

Description

Point Display

Select the number of points to display for the control charts. Values are: 05, 10, 15, 20, and 25.

Next Group icon

Click this button to view the next group of control chart points.

Previous Group icon

Click this button to view the previous group of control chart points.

Label By

Select how to label the control charts. Values are:

  • Day:Hour: Displays the day and hour under each individual subgroup point on the control chart.

  • Hour:Minute: Displays the hour and minute under each individual subgroup point on the control chart.

  • Month-Day: Displays the month and day under each individual subgroup point on the control chart.

  • Subgroup ID: Displays the subgroup sequence ID under each individual subgroup point on the control chart.

  • Year-Month-Day: Displays the year, month, and day under each individual subgroup point on the control chart.

Alarm Count

The alarm count represents the number of subgroups within the current chart that have an out-of-control condition. Next to this field, a bar graph represents the type of alarm that occurred for each subgroup. A red bar extending upward represents a specification violation, and a yellow bar extending upward represents a means (upper) control chart violation. A blue bar extending downward represents a variance (lower) control chart violation.

Additionally, the actual control test description appears when you hover over a subgroup point, enabling you to easily view the specific alarms corresponding to the bar graphs.

Subgroup Details

View details of the subgroup results and test violations for each subgroup.

Use the Histogram page (QS_HISTOGRAM_RVW) to view a histogram associated with the selected subgroups.

Navigation:

Select Histogram in the Display Graph field on the Review Ctrl Plan Performance - Stream Review inquiry page.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Histogram page 1 of 2. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Histogram page 1 of 2

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Histogram page 2 of 2. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Histogram page 2 of 2

In the upper portion of the page, the histogram associated with the subgroups that you selected appears. A histogram is used to display distribution analysis.

Cell Details

Field or Control

Description

Cell Interval

Displays the high and low boundaries that this cell represents. This field is derived by dividing the distribution range by the number of cells desired for display.

The left brace ({) character indicates in which cell the mean, lower specification limit, and upper specification values are contained.

Cell Midpoint

Displays the midpoint of the cell interval.

Cell Tally

Displays the total number of individual values in a cell.

% of Total (percent of total)

Displays the percent of individual values in a cell.

Statistics

Summary statistics are calculated based upon active values for this subset.

Use the Pareto Chart page (QS_PARETO_RVW) to view a Pareto chart of type comments, corrective actions, defects, or probable causes associated with the selected subgroups.

Navigation:

Select Pareto of Alarms, Pareto of Comments, Pareto of Corrective Actions, Pareto of Defects, or Pareto of Probable Causes in the Display Graph field on the Review Ctrl Plan Performance - Stream Review inquiry page.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Pareto Chart page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Pareto Chart page

In the upper portion of the page, a Pareto chart associated with the selected subgroups and attribute type appears. You can create a Pareto chart of alarms, comments, corrective actions, defects, or probable causes. With Pareto charts, you can display attribute counts in a ranked-order format.

Cell Details

Field or Control

Description

Attribute Description

Displays the attribute description. For example, for defects, defect attribute descriptions appear, and for alarms, alarm attribute descriptions appear.

Cell Tally

Displays the attribute count.

% of Total (percentage of total)

Displays the percentage of the number for that particular attribute type for which the attribute accounts. For example, for a Pareto chart of defects, this field represents the percentage of the number of defects for which that attribute accounts.

Cumulative % (cumulative percent)

Displays the cumulative percent value. If you were to plot this line on the Pareto chart, it would represent the cumulative percent line, also known as the Lorenze curve.

Modify Graph

Field or Control

Description

Graph Style

Select the style of graph to display. Options are:

  • Frequency: Displays the order of the attributes by frequency.

  • Cumulative Percent: Displays the order of attributes by cumulative percent. This option redraws the chart using the cumulative percent on the X axis.

Redraw

Click this button to redraw the Pareto chart with the selected options (cells containing text, cell display limit, and graph style).

The complete list of cell statistics always appears, regardless of the modification options that you select.

Reset

Click this button to restore the number of cells that appear in the Pareto chart to the number of cells that appeared when the graph was first displayed.

The number of cells that appear in the Pareto chart can change when you use the Cells Containing Text and Cell Display Limit fields. When you click the Reset button, the cells that appear in the Pareto chart are redrawn to there original appearance. Reset does not effect the graph style.

Use the Bar Graph page (QS_BARGRAPH_RVW) to view a bar graph associated with the selected subgroup.

Navigation:

Click the Graph Results button on the Compare Data Statistics page.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Bar Graph page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Bar Graph page

In the upper portion of the page, a bar graph associated with the selected subgroups appears. With bar graphs, you can compare a selected statistic between multiple subsets.

Details

The details (bar item and value) for the bar graph appear.

Modify Graph

Field or Control

Description

Redraw

Click this button to redraw the bar graph with the options (items containing text and bar display limit) that you selected.

The complete list of details always appears, regardless of the modification options that you select.

Reset

Click this button to restore the number of items that appear in the bar graph to the number of items that appeared when the graph was first displayed.

The number of items in the bar graph can change when you use the Items Containing Text and Bar Display Limit fields. When you click the Reset button, the items that appear in the bar graph are redrawn to their original appearance.
