Upper Control Limit

In process control, the highest value on a control chart that a process variable can reach before it is considered to be out of control, indicating a need for action.

Lower Control Limit

In statistical process control, the lower threshold that signifies the process variance is acceptable. If the process goes below this limit, it indicates a problem.

Common Causes

Sources of variation in a process or system that are inherent and can be attributed to the natural variability of the process.
