Review the rules for Control Charts below. At this point given your USL and LSL I would be more inclined to perform a Gage R&R to see if you are even capable of measuring the tolerance within those specifications. All of your points lie below the mean and are trending upward. Your data is simply out of control not sure if its Non-Normal as Mr Haynes said or not, but certainly out of control. Have a look at what lies behind the Estimate button and use the Help button to drill down to Methods and Formulae for all the gory details. The estimate of sigma you used is essentially what it refers to as StDev(Between). It refers to this estimate of sigma as StDev(Within). The mean moving range divided by the constant d2 (1.128 for ranges based on samples of two measurements) gives an estimate of the process sigma which leads to the value you got from Minitab. Copy this formula down the column to get all 29 moving ranges. Once two have been measured the formula ABS(B3-B2) in cell C3 gives the first moving range of 0.02. (See below.) With only one part measured no moving range can be calculated.

Use the estimate of standard deviation obtained via the mean moving range method. Where A1 is the cell that contains the process averageĪ2 is the cell that contains the process standard deviationĪ3 is the cell that contains the Upper Spec LimitĪ4 is the cell that contains the Lower Spec Limit.

If you don’t want to wait, you can download the Excel data files, and try and figure it out yourself.Have worked out Cpk long hand in excel – Cpk = 0.71 see belowĪnd get two quite different results – why ?

If you wanted to import the data into your statistical program, it takes some effort to copy/paste and re-format the data correctly, so it can be analyzed. The data files are not available for download from the EPA website related to this document.

It is not written for use with any statistical software – Although that was the original intent, for those of you who have a statistical program you are familiar with, it takes some time to figure out how to recreate the same charts and analysis.

What you need to do is copy the data into Minitab, and start clicking around. If you already are using Minitab statistical software, then you would probably like to know how Minitab does these tasks for you. Starting on Chapter 9 of the document, there are exercises and data tables, with instructions on how to create the charts or complete the analysis. However, it is a good statistical reference book in general, so it is highly recommended for anyone using statistics to analyze environmental and other non-normal data. It is essentially a statistics reference guide focused on groundwater contamination data. The document is meant to provide support to RCRA facilities on how to apply the correct statistical techniques. In March 2009, the EPA published the document called “STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF GROUNDWATER MONITORING DATA AT RCRA FACILITIES”
