The Rule of Seven

The Rule of Seven

A control chart is a line graph that represents measurements of a process performance. The chart also contains the Target Value for the attribute being measured, the upper control limit (UCL) and the Lower Control Limit (LCL).

Rule of seven : In control charts, if there are seven points on one side of mean, then an assignable cause must be found.
