The following figure displays the resulting multivariate control
charts.

| Interpretation of control charts |
Inspection of this figure suggests an out-of-control conditions at
sample numbers 1, 2, 9, 10, and 11 since these points exceed the
T-square for means UCL of 14.52. Fortunately, the process was
apparently back in control after the periods 9-12.
The problem may be caused by one or more univariates, and it could be easier to remedy than when the covariance plays a role in the creation of the undesired situation. To study the cause or causes of the problem one should also contemplate the individual univariate control charts.� |
