Abstract
This paper aims to evaluate whether if the data that form several samples used for the statistical process control (SPC) control charts derive from a population with a normal distribution or not. A piece manufactured in a Portuguese small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) that operates in the automotive industry is used as an example. Knowing if the distribution is normal or not allows identifying what out of control tests should be applied and can also help finding precise false alarm rates. For this purpose, six goodness-of-fit tests are used and then compared. Some of these goodness-of-fit tests could be more sensible than others in detecting departures from normality. The results for two in three scenarios of the same dimensional feature show that some goodness-of-fit tests reject the null hypothesis and that the data of the measured samples do not derive from a population with a normal distribution.
