A gage run chart is a plot of all of your observations by operator and part number. A horizontal reference line is drawn at the mean, which can be calculated from the data, or a value you enter from prior knowledge of the process. You can use this chart to quickly assess differences in measurements between different operators and parts. A stable process would give you a random horizontal scattering of points; an operator or part effect would give you some kind of pattern in the plot.
