If you do have enough points for a control chart, do you want to make a control chart or a run chart? Why did you make that choice? 3. Say you do want to make a control chart. Should you use a control chart for variables or attributes? Why? 4. Given your answer to question 3, what specific chart do you want to use and why? 5. Again, assuming you want to make a control chart, how will you determine your warning and action limits? 6. Considering your answers to the previous questions, what is your decision about using control charts for your project?
