Primes

• Quality Control
  • Manufacturing: Shewhart statistical process control (SPC), control charts (X-bar/R, individuals/moving-range), acceptance-sampling plans (AQL, LTPD), gauging and calibration (Gauge R&R studies), Six Sigma measurement and control phases, defect-rate tracking, scrap and rework tracking, all consolidated in the Western Electric (1956) statistical quality control handbook that codified industrial practice.

    This sourceAT&T Technologies. Industry-defining handbook codifying SPC techniques, control charts (X-bar/R, individuals/moving-range), runs rules, and acceptance-sampling plans for manufacturing; the practitioner reference that operationalized Shewhart's methods.

Domain-specific

• Natural Process Variation
  • Western Electric rules extend the single-point test with run and zone patterns, trading greater sensitivity for more false alarms.

Mechanisms

• Control Chart on Residuals
  • Apply runs rules. Beyond simple limit breaches, patterns like long one-sided runs or trends flag a shift while every point is still technically inside the limits.

    This sourceTreats a long run of consecutive points on one side of the center line as an out-of-control signal.
