The basis for this decision lies in the Western Electric Rules (now called Nelson Rules) for detecting out of control conditions.
For example, if you detect 6 consecutive data points going upwards from the previous data point, that is considered a trend, and the process should be stopped to investigate if there is a problem or not.
