I/MR Chart The I/MR chart is a combined chart consisting of: 'individuals' (I) chart with values of each individual observation that provides a means to assess process center; and a 'moving range' (MR) chart with the range calculated from subgroups created from successive observations that provides a means to assess process variation. I/MR chart is used to draw a combined control chart for assessing whether process center and variation are in control when your data is individual observations.
