Cause & Effect Diagram

1. What is Cause & effect Diagram ?

A cause and effect diagram is “a fish-bone diagram that presents a systematic representation of the relationship between the effect (result) and affecting factors (causes).”

Solving a problem in a scientific manner requires

15

g p qclarification of a cause and effect relationship, where the effect (e.g., the result of work) varies according to factors (e.g., facilities and machines used, method of work, workers, and materials and parts used). To obtain a good work result, we must identify the effects of various factors and develop measures to improve the result accordingly.

Cause & Effect Diagram

2. When is it used and what results will be obtained?

A cause and effect diagram is mainly used to study the cause of a certain matter. As mentioned above, the use of a cause and effect diagram allows

16

clarification of causal relation for efficient problem solving. It is also effective in assessing measures developed and can be applied to other fields according to your needs.

Check sheet

DescriptionA check sheet is a structured, prepared form for collecting and analyzing data. This is a generic tool that can be adapted for a wide variety of purposes.

When to Use a Check Sheet

•When data can be observed and collected repeatedly by the same

7 Q C Tools

p y yperson or at the same location. •When collecting data on the frequency or patterns of events, problems, defects, defect location, defect causes, etc.

Check Sheet

1. What is Check sheet ?

A check sheet is “a sheet designed in advance to allow easy collection and aggregation of data.” By just entering check marks on a check sheet, data can be collected to extract necessary information, or a thorough inspection can be performed in an efficient manner eliminating a possibility

20

performed in an efficient manner, eliminating a possibility of skipping any of the required inspection items.

A check sheet is also effective in performing stratification (categorization).

Check Sheet Procedure

23• Decide what event or problem will be observed. Develop

operational definitions.

• Decide when data will be collected and for how long.

• Design the form. Set it up so that data can be recorded simply by making check marks or Xs or similar symbols and so that data do not have to be recopied for analysis

7 Q C Tools

and so that data do not have to be recopied for analysis.

• Label all spaces on the form.

• Test the check sheet for a short trial period to be sure it collects the appropriate data and is easy to use.

• Each time the targeted event or problem occurs, record data on the check sheet.

Check sheet ExampleThe figure below shows a check sheet used to collect data on telephone interruptions. The tick marks were added as data was collected over several weeks.

Histogram

1. What is Histogram ?

When creating a histogram, “a range of data is divided intosmaller sections having a uniform span,and the number of datacontained in each section (the number of occurrences) iscounted to develop a frequency distribution table ” Then “a

26

counted to develop a frequency distribution table. Then, agraph is formed from this table by using vertical bars, eachhaving the height proportional to the number of occurrences ineach section.”

Histogram2. When is it used and what results will be obtained?

A histogram is mainly used to analyze a process byexamining the location of the mean value in thegraph or degree of variations, to find a problem pointthat needs to be improved. Its other applications arelisted in the table below.

27

Histogram Construction Collect at least 50 consecutive data points from a process.

Use the histogram worksheet to set up the histogram.

Histogram Analysis

Before drawing any conclusions from your histogram, satisfy yourself that the

7 Q C Tools

process was operating normally during the time period being studied.

If any unusual events affected the process during the time period of the histogram, your analysis of the histogram shape probably cannot be generalized to all time periods.

Analyze the meaning of your histogram’s shape.

Page 8: 7qctools Training Slides

9/10/2014

HistogramTypical Histogram Shapes and What They Mean

Normal. A common pattern is the bell-shaped curve known as the “normal distribution.” In a normal distribution, points are as likely to occur on one side of the average as on the other.

Example : Distribution of heights (in cm) of all employees.

7 Q C Tools

Histogram

Skewed. The skewed distribution is asymmetrical because a natural limit prevents outcomes on one side. The distribution’s peak is off center toward the limit and a tail stretches away from it.

For example, a distribution of analyses of time difference between employees arriving at work (clock in time) and official company start time.

Typical Histogram Shapes and What They Mean

7 Q C Tools

Or , differences in actual turn around to resolve certain types of complaints compared to goal for that segment.

These distributions are called right- or left-skewed according to the direction of the tail.

TAIL

This is right-skewed since the tail is at our right

Histogram

Double-peaked or bimodal. The bimodal distribution looks like the back of a two-humped camel.

The outcomes of two processes with different distributions are combined in one set of data.

Typical Histogram Shapes and What They Mean

7 Q C Tools

For example, a distribution of production data from a two-shift operation might be bimodal, if each shift produces a different distribution of results. Stratification often reveals this problem.

DescriptionA Pareto chart is a bar graph. The lengths of the bars represent frequency or cost (time or money), and are arranged with longest bars on the left and the shortest to the right. In this way the chart visually depicts which situations are more significant.

Pareto Chart or Pareto AnalysisBased on 80-20 Rule : 80% of the problem is caused by 20% of the causes

7 Q C Tools

When to Use a Pareto Chart

•When analyzing data about the frequency of problems or causes in a process.•When there are many problems or causes and you want to focus on the most significant.•When analyzing broad causes by looking at their specific components.

First Example of Pareto Chart

Example 1 shows how many customer complaints were received in each of five categories of processes or departments.

7 Q C Tools

Example 2 takes the largest category, “documents,” from Example #1, breaks it down into six categories of document-related complaints, and shows cumulative values.

Second Example of Pareto Chart

7 Q C Tools

If all complaints cause equal distress to the customer, working on eliminating document-related complaints would have the most impact, and of those, working on quality certificates should be most fruitful.

Pareto Chart Procedure

Decide what categories you will use to group items. (Horizontal Axis or X Axis)

Decide what measurement is appropriate. Common measurements are frequency, quantity, cost and time. (Vertical Axis or Y Axis)

Decide what period of time the Pareto chart will cover: One work cycle? One full day? A week?

Collect the data, recording the category each time. (Or assemble data that already exist.)

Subtotal the measurements for each category.

Pareto Diagram

1. What is Pareto diagram ?

A Pareto diagram is a combination of bar and line graphs of accumulated data, where data associated with a problem (e.g., a defect found, mechanical failure, or a complaint from a customer) are divided into smaller groups by cause or by phenomenon and sorted for example by the number

38

or by phenomenon and sorted, for example, by the number of occurrences or the amount of money involved. (The name “Pareto” came from an Italian mathematician who created the diagram.)

according to common factors or tendencies (e.g., type of defectand cause of defect).

Dividing into groups “fosters understanding of a situation.”This represents the basic principle of quality control.

Stratification2. When is it used and what results will be obtained?

The “common and basic principle” of quality control isstratification, i.e., to think a matter out by breaking itinto smaller portions. Stratification has a number ofuseful purposes. The table below shows only a fewexamples of these purposes.

Stratification (Categorization)DescriptionStratification is a technique used in combination with other data analysis tools. When data from a variety of sources or categories have been lumped together, the meaning of the data can be impossible to see. This technique separates the data so that patterns can be seen.

When to Use Stratification • Before collecting data.

7 Q C Tools

• When data come from several sources or conditions, such as shifts, days of the week, suppliers or population groups.• When data analysis may require separating different sources or conditions.

Stratification Procedure

•Before collecting data, consider which information about thesources of the data might have an effect on the results. Set up thedata collection so that you collect that information as well.

•When plotting or graphing the collected data on a scatterdiagram, control chart, histogram or other analysis tool, usediff t k l t di ti i h d t f i

Control Chart

Also called: statistical process control (SPC)

Description

•The control chart is a graph used to study how a process changes over time. Data are plotted in time order.

•A control chart always has a central line for the average, an upper line for the upper control limit and a lower line for the

7 Q C Tools

pp pplower control limit.

•These lines are determined from historical data.

•By comparing current data to these lines, you can draw conclusions about whether the process variation is consistent (in control) or is unpredictable (out of control, affected by special causes of variation).

Control Chart (Control Chart / Graph 1)

1. What is Control Chart ?

A control chart is used to examine a process to see ifit is stable or to maintain the stability of a process.

This method is often used to analyze a process. Todo so, a chart is created from data collected for a

55

certain period of time, and dots plotted on the chartare examined to see how they are distributed or if theyare within the established control limit. After someactions are taken to control and standardize variousfactors, this method is also used to examine if aprocess is stabilized by these actions, and if so, tokeep the process in a stable state.

Control Chart2. When is it used and what results will be obtained?

There are two types of control charts: one used formanagerial purposes and the other for analyticalpurposes. A control chart is used to identify dots thatare outside the control limit, which indicate someanomalies in a process. In addition, seven

56

p ,consecutive dots showing values that are below orabove the mean (central) value, or an increment or adecline represented by seven consecutive dots alsoindicate “a problem in a process.”We need to examine what has caused such atendency or an increment/decline.

1. What is Graph ?

A graph is “a graphical representation of data, which allows aperson to understand the meaning of these data at a glance.”Unprocessed data simply represent a list of numbers, andfinding certain tendencies or magnitude of situation from these

59

finding certain tendencies or magnitude of situation from thesenumbers is difficult, sometimes resulting in an interpretationalerror. A graph is a effective means to monitor or judge thesituation, allowing quick and precise understanding of thecurrent or actual situation.

A graph is a visual and summarized representation of data thatneed to be quickly and precisely conveyed to others.

Graph2. When is it used and what results will be obtained?

A graph, although it is listed as one of the QC tools, iscommonly used in our daily life and is the mostfamiliar means of assessing a situation.
