How does a U-Chart handle variable sample sizes?
The u-chart measures defects per inspection unit: uᵢ = cᵢ / nᵢ. Because inspection area nᵢ varies, control limits adjust dynamically for each sample: UCLᵢ = ū + 3√(ū / nᵢ), LCLᵢ = Max(0, ū - 3√(ū / nᵢ))
When the quantity or area of inspection fluctuates (such as varying square meters of rolled steel or different numbers of assemblies inspected per hour), the u-chart standardizes the count to a per-unit basis.
Monitor multiple defects per item on circuit boards, textiles, paint surfaces, or weld seams.
Statistical Process Control (SPC)Track defect rates across varying production lot sizes while accounting for overdispersion.
Process Capability & Measurement (MSA)Translate defect counts and multi-step process yields into standardized Six Sigma quality levels.
