Squeezing the chart: Are you getting everything you can?
Using charts to analyze data is something that comes naturally to many. But there's more information in a chart than you may know. For example, SQCpack charts can compute control limits on half the data, and then again on the other half. Go to Squeezing_the_Chart.htm.
