Definitions:

Control Limits

Defined in statistical quality control, control limits are the bounds within which a process metric is considered to be in a state of statistical control, beyond which indicates a potential issue needing investigation.

Standard Errors

Measures of the variability or spread of sampling distribution estimates, indicating how much sample means differ from the true population mean.

Sample Mean

The average of a set of numerical values.

Control Limits

Statistical boundaries set in control charts that are used in process control to detect times when a process is out of control or behaving anomalously.
