What is it?
Out of Statistical Control Situation
• Quality Management tool, showing

What is its use?
• Histogram provides an easy way to evaluate
the distribution of the process and to have a
precise look at process variations.
Project (1)
✓ EWMA and CUSUM Control Charts were used to analyze concrete data
✓ This case represents an in-control stable and capable process.
✓ The process is stable under the acceptable level of concrete strength (greater
than the fc`) .
No action is required on the process

Project (2)
It is important to investigate the process and reduce variation with the goal being
to bring the process back into statistical control and make it capable.
