	Xbar and R
		The control limits on the R chart, along with the results of the runs tests, determine how much variation we should expect to see if the process is stable with respect to variability.
		If the R chart fails to show stability, you should be asking, "Why is the amount of spread in one group inconsistent with with amount of spread in another group?" or "What is happening while I am collecting each subgroup--because there seems to be something different happening while different subgroups are being collected."
		If there are no signals of instability on the X-bar Chart or on the R Chart, then we conclude that the process appears to be stable (i.e., operating in a predictable manner).

		The choice of chart type is of course dependant on what it is you are trying to accomplish.
		In a contiuos process in a homogeneous batch, the concept of subgroup doesn't apply, if several samples are taken in a given time, there is not going to be a significative difference between them (and mostly by sampling error).
		Control charts by themselves are not improvement tools - but they are monitoring tools and can signal when something's wrong.

		A statistical process control chart is a run chart of a sequence of quantitative data that enables you to separate signal from noise, so that you can respond to real problems.
		When a point falls outside of the limits established for a given control chart, those responsible for the underlying process are expected to determine whether a special cause has occurred.
		A Control Chart is primarily used to establish that a process is stable and predictable.

		Autocorrelation analysis is one way to assess randomness in the sequence of data such as shown on a control chart.
		However, because this program allows you to chart only 200 lots, if you want to continue charting beyond 200 lots, you must do so in a fresh, blank file copy of this program.
		When you have more 200 lots, the existing SPC chart settings can be manually applied to another blank copy of this file, in order to continue control-charting with the same control limits as in the previous file.

	Re: Rule of thumb for SPC
		I have some questions: When you ask, in question 2, about the "run chart in control," are you talking about the R chart in an XbarR chart?
		If you are, the scenario you describe could be caused by subgrouping unlike things in the x chart.
		You could exclude them all, but until you know what is causing them, you will be unlikely to improve your process, and any limits you construct will not necessarily reflect the underlying process.

		You would typically choose an I-MR Chart when you have variable data (which it sounds like you have) and your taking single readings (measurements) because there is no rational subgroups, or no way to form rational subgroups with your process/data.
		Use the IMR charts when using continuous data with a subgroup size of n=1.
		When subgroup sizes are varied and/or their frequency is varied (the two are independent), the IMR chart is actually more sensitive and appropriate.
