NpChart

NpChart is similar to PChart, except that the number of defects per sample is plotted, not the sample rate. The position of the control limits are given by

 

 

 

where n is the number of items and p is the proportion of defective items.

NpChart Example

This example uses the orange juice can manufacturing data used earlier in the PChart example. In this example, the number of defects, rather than the defect rate is plotted.
