Methods and formulas for the Analysis Of Mean Ranges (ANOMR) chart in Evaluate Measurement Process (EMP Crossed)

The analysis produces the Analysis Of Mean Ranges (ANOMR) chart when operators measure each part 8 times or less. The chart has a reference line at the average range across all parts measured by each operator. The chart includes decision limits that test for differences in test-retest error among operators. The decision limits use the following formulas:

Upper Decision Limit (UDL)
UMR ×
Lower Decision Limit (LDL)
LMR ×

The values of UMR and LMR are from the table of values in Wheeler (2006)1. The value of is the average of all the ranges.
