How do you plot X bar and R chart?
Steps in Constructing an X-R Chart
- Gather the data. a. Select the subgroup size (n).
- Plot the data. a.
- Calculate the overall process averages and control limits. a.
- Interpret both charts for statistical control. a.
- Calculate the process standard deviation, if appropriate. a.
What is the difference between X bar chart and R chart?
👉 For more insights, check out this resource.
The X-bar helps to monitor the average or the mean of the process and how this changed over time. The R-chart shows the sample range, which represents the difference between the highest and lowest value in each sample.
Why are X bar control charts used together with R charts?
The X-Bar Chart is typically combined with an R-Chart to monitor process variables. If the variable isn’t under control, then control limits might be too general, which means that causes of variation that are affecting the process mean can’t be pinpointed. Each point on the chart acts as a subgroup mean value.

How do you make an R chart in Minitab?
To create an R chart, choose Stat > Control Charts > Variables Charts for Subgroups > R.
What is R chart in Minitab?
Learn more about Minitab Statistical Software. Use R Chart to monitor the variation (range) of your process when you have continuous data and subgroup sizes of 8 or less. Use this control chart to monitor process stability over time so that you can identify and correct instabilities in a process.
How do you plot a control chart in Minitab?
Control Your Control Chart!
- Choose Stat > Control Charts > Variables Charts for Subgroups > Xbar.
- Click the Estimate tab.
- Choose “Use the following subgroups when estimating parameters” and enter the appropriate number of subgroups. In the example above we want to use the first 12 subgroups, so enter 1:12.
