Step-1:
We are going to plot the run chart of the Permeability Number of green sand. Hence we have observed the readings four times per day; these readings are given below;
Date | Permeability Number |
xx/12/18 | 198 |
xx/12/18 | 199 |
xx/12/18 | 195 |
xx/12/18 | 198 |
pp/01/19 | 196 |
pp/01/19 | 198 |
pp/01/19 | 199 |
pp/01/19 | 197 |
ss/02/19 | 198 |
ss/02/19 | 197 |
ss/02/19 | 196 |
ss/02/19 | 198 |
pp/03/19 | 197 |
pp/03/19 | 195 |
pp/03/19 | 196 |
pp/03/19 | 200 |
nn/04/19 | 199 |
nn/04/19 | 200 |
nn/04/19 | 198 |
nn/04/19 | 200 |
Step-2:
Calculate the mean, median, and mode of observed value;
Mean: Use the Excel formula to calculate the average value automatically. Details are described in the below figure.

Mode: use the Excel formula to calculate the mode value for the details formula, kindly go through the below figure highlighted portion.
Step-3:
Put USL and LSL values in Excel, if you would like to draw the line in the run chart. So here specification of Permeability is 200±10. USL is 210 and LSL is 190.
Step-4: To draw the run chart, kindly follow the sequence from “1” to “4” as per the below figure.
Sequence-1: Select the data table.
Sequence-2: Select the “Insert” option in the Excel sheet.
