OPTIMAL LIMITS FOR ATTRIBUTES CONTROL CHARTS

Attributes control charts have historically been used with 3-sigma limits. When such an approach is used there is the implicit assumption that the normal approximation to the binomial and Poisson distributions will be adequate. Control chart properties ..
