where x-bar is the average and sigma-x is the process sigma .

  1. Some authors prefer to write this as:

  1. For Non-Normal distributions, the UCLx is set to the percentile of the fitted distribution corresponding to the ordinate value for the Normal distribution. For example, the UCL for 3-sigma limits is defined at the 99.865 percentile of the fitted curve, and the LCL is defined at the 0.135 percentile of the fitted curve.
