A Statistical control chart (Shewhart control chart) is a graphical chart with statistical control limits and plotted values (for some applications in chronological order) of some measured parameter for a series of samples.

Use of the charts provides a visual display of the pattern of the data, enabling the early detection of time trends and shifts in level. For maximum usefulness in control, such charts should be available in a timely manner.
