Control charts based on data that can be measured on a continuous scale are known as variables control charts. These charts are used to monitor variables data, such as product dimensions, weight or time, and are typically plotted with statistical measures such as mean and standard deviation. Normal charts refer to a specific type of variables control chart that compares the process data to a normal distribution. Attributes control charts, on the other hand, are used to monitor the proportion or rate of defects in a process and are most commonly used with discrete data that can be counted. Precision control charts do not exist as a distinct type of control chart.
