Control Chart Constants and Formulas

This document contains tables of constants and formulas for control charts. Table 8A provides factors for calculating control limits for X-bar and R charts and X-bar and s charts with varying subgroup sizes. Table 8B gives factors for median charts, individual value charts, and moving range charts. Table 8C presents formulas for calculating control limits for p-charts, np-charts, c-charts, and u-charts for attribute data with both variable and constant sample sizes.
