is a time-ordered series data plot used to observe the performance of a process. Run charts are often shown on daily visual management boards to track key performance indicators. Recording daily trends can help identify abnormalities or variations in your process. You will want to record data in a run chart prior to establishing control limits in later phases of DMAIC project cycle. This tutorial demonstrates how to use SigmaXL software to test for randomness in a data set. View video for more information on this technique.
