Run Charts is a tool for tracking results over a period of time. This can aid in identifying trends or other patterns that may be occurring. Advantages of run charts are ease of construction and interpretation.
For this case study, we came out with seven run charts according to their segments. From this run charts, it is easy for the Tip Top Markets to identify numbers of complaints made by their customers. Furthermore Tip Top Markets can clearly see either the complaints that they had is increasing or decreasing. By that, they can come out with the solution to overcome all complaints and evaluate their performance.
