Process Screening on I-MR, control limits from within stdev?

Simple question.  Just curious if the within stdev on the IMR version is used for limits (in the absence of a specified sigma).  I'm 99% sure they are, just wanted to confirm, and didn't see this in the process screening report notes.

Re: Process Screening on I-MR, control limits from within stdev?

If you use the Control Chart Type specification of Indiv and MR in Process Screening, the limits will be calculated using within sigma (average(moving ranges)/d2(n)) the same as Control Chart Builder does.  You can find the calculations here:

Re: Process Screening on I-MR, control limits from within stdev?

Thanks Tonya, I was 99% sure that was the case but wanted to confirm.  

 

One small other thing I noticed, though I would mention since I have you. Kind of an interesting blip.   The Cp in Process Screening uses the within sigma, even if there is a specified sigma, however if you punt to the control chart platform from the Process Screening tool the Cp will use the specified sigma instead of the within.

Re: Process Screening on I-MR, control limits from within stdev?

Please send an example of Cp not matching between Process Screening and Control Chart Builder.  I ran the following code and got them to match.

Re: Process Screening on I-MR, control limits from within stdev?

Tonya

 

Aha! I figured it out.  Very interesting, it bothered me because we had nearly identical scripts.


Here's the trick.  Don't specify sigma for 100% of your variables.  If you have a couple process variables without a specified sigma, it will use the within for ALL of your variables in process screening.  Which makes some sense from a programming perspective as I'm guessing the calculations are happening on the columns, so the specified sigma has some/any nulls in it it defaults to the within column.

 

Here, I removed the specified sigma for a few of your variables in the script you provided.  But the one that makes the control chart does still have a specified sigma, so what shows up in the control chart is different than what is in Process Screening:

Re: Process Screening on I-MR, control limits from within stdev?

This is a problem with the Control Chart Builder Code that Process Screening is running behind the scenes.  Development has been made aware of the problem.  

Thank you for including the example.
