Some of the ways include: 1) Using the Histogram to analyze whether your process can meet customer's requirements. 2) A histogram helps you check how your supplier's process looks like. 3) Histogram also checks if your process has undergone any changes between two time periods. 4) And a Histogram compares and confirms if the outputs of two or more processes are different.
