In the first issue of Significance , Roland Caulcutt suggested that a common feature of many successful companies is their development of a “management‐by‐fact” culture. He further suggested that such a culture requires that managers focus on processes, and that control charts be used at all levels throughout the organisation. In this follow‐up article he explains how the various types of control chart are set up and used in practice.
