This document provides control chart constants for constructing X-bar, R, S, and individual (X or I) control charts. It includes the constants A2, A3, d2, D3, D4, B3, and B4 for different sample sizes that are used to determine control limits. Notes explain that moving range (MR) charts use consecutive differences between observations to estimate process variability, with the average moving range (MR-bar) divided by d2 to estimate the standard deviation for individual charts.

NOTES: To construct the "X" and "MR" charts (these are companions) we compute th e 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. with the "average" moving range or "MR-bar" being the average of these ranges with the "sample size" for each of these ranges being n = 2 since each is based on consec utive observations ... this should provide an estimated standard deviation (needed for the "I" chart) of s = (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 "not applicable") there wi ll be no LCL for the MR chart, just a UCL.
