Abstract:This study analyzes the factors that shaped Walter Shewhart’s 1924 development of the control chart at Bell Telephone Laboratories. The control chart is a graphical construct that uses probability theory to analyze deviations from expected levels of performance within systems of repetitive action. Although Shewhart’s innovative use of probabilistic information focused on monitoring conformity to production standards in mass manufacturing, his basic concepts continue to affect modernity through their extensive application in data analysis in business, engineering, and science.

工业文化中的信息：Walter A. Shewhart 和控制图的演变，1917-1954

摘要：本研究分析了影响 Walter Shewhart 于 1924 年在贝尔电话实验室开发控制图的因素。控制图是一种图形结构，它使用概率论来分析重复动作系统中与预期性能水平的偏差。尽管休哈特对概率信息的创新使用侧重于监控大规模制造中生产标准的一致性，但他的基本概念通过在商业、工程和科学数据分析中的广泛应用继续影响现代性。
