What is the acceptable standard deviation range for running of quality controls?
You are an analyst for a company that produces parts for medical devices, and these parts must meet specifications required by your customer. You implement a process improvement to decrease the variation in diameter for one of the parts, and want to determine if the process improvement had any effect. What type of control chart would be most appropriate to determine if the process improvement did in fact reduce variation in the output of the process?
