Quickly Create a Quality Report: The Continuous Improvement Report

Using a Continuous Improvement Report (CIR), you can compare statistics between selected date ranges to check for quality improvements—or to troubleshoot quality problems.

A Continuous Improvement Report is used to compare statistics between two date ranges: The date range you specify in the report filter settings versus a previous date range of the same length that immediately precedes the first data range.

For example, if you pick to filter your CIR for five days of data, the CIR will compare those five days to the preceding five days. If you pick a month’s date range, it will compare that month against the previous month.

Here’s how to create a CIR in WinSPC

In the Administrator window, select File->Print Reports. Create a new report and edit it (or edit an existing report).

Browse in the tree view to find the desired characteristic. Drag it down to the Item Name field.

Double-click on the item in the lower section to get the Report Item Settings window.

From the Report Item Settings screen, July 2008 has been selected from the Date Range. Select CIR in Report Type field. Click OK, and the Continuous Improvement Report displays.
