Control charts are monitoring schemes, widely used in operations and manufacturing environments, to determine when a process is "in-control" and in the presence of only common-cause variation. Give an example of an application of control charts in an industrial, operations, or manufacturing setting that is different from those supplied in the overview. Discuss and share this information with your classmates.

In responding to your peers' posts, select responses that use a control chart that is different from your own. Is the process in control or out of control? Would the process be in control if Western Electric rules are considered? Explain your reasoning. Finally, consider how control charts can be applied to the final project case study.

Support your initial posts and response posts with scholarly sources cited in APA style.
