Video that will explain the concepts of attribute and variable data, and procedure for plotting attribute and variable quality control charts & reading different chart patterns.

Description of statistical quality control and control charts.

Resource providing information in order to understand the purpose and function of statistical quality control, understand the differences between attributes and variables, and become familiar with basic methods of statistical process control.

Rresource covering what is meant by the term statistical quality control, why different types of control charts are necessary, how to construct and interpret a small variety of control charts, in particular those based on means and ranges, and how to describe in outline the relationship between hypothesis testing and statistical quality control.

A brief introduction to the use of statistical quality control charts for analyzing, monitoring, and improving health care processes. After an overview of key concepts, several examples illustrate control chart use and interpretation. The article concludes with some common pitfalls to avoid and references for further exploration.
