X bar R Chart Formulas
Below are the X bar R chart formula that used in the QI Macros for both Range & Avg(Xbar) charts.
Control chart constants for X-bar, R, S, Individuals (called "X" or "I" charts), and MR (Moving Range) Charts.
Note: To construct the "X" and "MR" charts (these are companions) we compute the Moving Ranges as:
R2 = range of 1st and 2nd observations, R3 = range of 2nd and 3rd observations, R4 = range of 3rd and 4th observations, etc.
sigma(Σ) = (MR-bar)/d2 where the value of d2 is based on, as just stated, m = 2.
Similarly, the UCL and LCL for the MR chart will be: UCL = D4(MR-bar) and LCL = D3(MR-bar)
But, since D3 = 0 when n = 0 (or, more accurately, is "N/A") there will be no LCL for the MR chart, just a UCL.
