Note:  Periodic attribute monitoring enables you to graphically view the performance of your manufacturing over a short time period enabling you to spot trends and potential problems before they become major problems.  In the example noted above, the specification range is from 48 to 53 grams, with a target of 50 grams.  Reviewing the chart we can note the high and low values measured at each interval and the mean of that set is denoted with a dark circle.  We can also easily note that an out of specification measurement was noted between 7 and 8 AM.  This report also enables you to see if the technicians/operators are performing the measurements on a timely basis.  Missed measurements would clearly show large gaps between readings.
