The Moving Average Control Chart is a time-weighted control chart that is constructed from a basic, unweighted moving average. It is often advisable to use the moving average control chart when you desire to quickly detect a change or shift in the process since it is more sensitive to shifts in the process than the traditional average and range control chart (i.e., X-bar and R). Under the appropriate conditions, however, it is not as sensitive as the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average chart (EWMA).
