Attributes Control Chart

Attributes control charts extend Shewhart's framework to count and proportion data — quality characteristics that are classified rather than measured. The p- and np-charts monitor the proportion or number of defective items using the binomial distribution, while the c- and u-charts monitor the number of defects per unit using the Poisson distribution. They are the standard statistical-process-control tools when inspection yields pass/fail or defect counts rather than continuous measurements.
