    Interesting post, thank you.I'm interested to know why you would use an X-mR chart here and not a p chart?Thank you

    Thanks for the comment. The p control chart has to satisfy four conditions to be used. These are given in the publication at this link. For example, one is that the probability of being a stock out, for example, has to be the same for all products That is not the case – faster moving items probably have a higher probability of being stocked out – or a very slow moving item also. So, if the conditions are not met, you can’t use the p control chart.
