Histograms
Our SPC software, SPC for Excel, easily constructs and updates histograms. A histogram is a bar chart that provides a snapshot in time of the variation in a process. It tells us how often a value or range of values occurred in a given time frame. A histogram will tell us the most frequently occurring value (the mode), the overall range, and the shape of the distribution (e.g., bell-shaped, skewed, bimodal, etc.). Three types of histograms are:
- Basic histogram
- Create multiple histograms at once
- Group histogram to compare more than one process on same histogram
