    QUALITY IMPROVEMENT

    Inspection with the aim of finding the bad ones and throwing them out is

    too late ,ineffective and costly. Quality comes not from inspection but from the improvement of the

    processes.

    CHECK SHEET -

    Defect location check list

    External defects like scratch,dentmark etc are found some time on specific

    area of the product . This check sheet helps to identify the location where more

    defects are produced and hence it helps to detect the cause of the problem.

    It helps to know the distribution of the defect within the component.

    STARTIFICATION -

    What is Stratification ?

    Stratification means to divide the whole into smaller portionsaccording to certain criteria. In case of quality control, stratification

    generally means to divide data into several groups according to

    common factors or tendencies (e.g., type of defect and cause of

    defect).

    Dividing into groups fosters understanding of a situation. This

    represents the basic principle of quality control.

    STARTIFICATION -

    When is it used and what results will be obtained?

    The common and basic principle of quality control is stratification, i.e., to

    think a matter out by breaking it into smaller portions. Stratification has a

    number of useful purposes. The table below shows only a few examples of

    these purposes.

    3rd level Pareto Chart

    If the data from the Pareto chart can

    be stratified further, create 2nd or even

    3rd level charts.

    Analyze these charts to determine if

    the Pareto Principle applies.

    When youve narrowed down the

    problems on the deepest levels

    you will start finding root causes.

    CAUSE EFFECT DIAGRAM

    WHAT IS IT?

    The Fishbone Diagram (also known as the Cause & Effect Diagram) is a

    technique to graphically identify and organize many possible Causes of aproblem (effect).

    WHY IS IT USEFUL?

    Fishbone Diagrams help identify the most likely ROOT CAUSES of a problem.

    They can also help teach a team to reach a common understanding of theproblem. This tool can help focus problem solving and reduce subjective

    decision making.

    WHEN IS IT USED?

    When the need exists to display and explore many possible causes of a

    specific problem or condition. This diagram allows the team to systematically

    analyze cause & effect relationships. It can also help with the identification of

    ROOT CAUSES.

    28/76

    PROBLEM SOLVING METHODLOGY - 7 Q.C. TOOLS

    CAUSE EFFECT DIAGRAM

    HOW IS IT DONE?

    Name the effect; determine the specific problem to be analyzed. Draw the diagram

    with a process arrow to the effect and draw a box around it.

    Decide what the major categories of the causes are (i.e., people, machines,

    measurement, materials, methods, environment, policies, etc.).

    Label categories important to your situation. Make it work for you.

    Brainstorm all possible causes and label each cause under the appropriate

    category.

    Post the diagram where others can add causes to it (i.e., experts, affected people,

    process owners, etc..).

    Analyze causes and eliminate trivial and/or frivolous ideas.

    Determine the class interval :

    Class Interval = R / n = 0.075 / 7 = 0.011 ( approx )

    Class interval is determined so that range will include the maximum and

    minimum values

    The no. of class interval can be calculated by formula

    The no. of class interval = n ( where n = total no. of observations )= 50 = 7.07 = 7 ( rounding to nearest )

    Divide the range by 1,2,5 or 0.1,0.2 ,0.5, or 10,20,50,etc.as the values are

    obtained from 5 to 20 class intervals of equal width.

    Where there are two possibilities , use narrower interval ( more classes ) for

    below 100 readings and for 100 & above readings, use wider intervals

    Boundaries for first class should include the smallest value 114.160

    The lower boundaries of the first class interval can be 114.1595.

    Therefore , 114.1595 + class interval

    i.e. 114.1595 + 0.011 = 114.1705

    If the distribution of frequencies is shifted noticeably to either side of thecenter of the range, the distribution is said to be skewed.

    When the histogram is positively skewed

    The mean value is to the left of the center

    of the range, and the frequency decreasesabruptly to the left but gently to the right.

    This shape normally occurs when the lower

    limit, the one on the Left, is controlled

    CONTROL CHARTS -Every process varies. If you write your name ten times, your signatures will all

    be similar, but no two signatures will be exactly alike. There is an inherent

    variation, but it varies between predictable limits. If, as you are signing your

    name, someone bumps your elbow, you get an unusual variation due to whatis called a "special cause" . If you are cutting diamonds, and someone bumps

    your elbow the special cause elbow, can be expensive. For many, many processes, it

    is important to notice special causes of variation as soon as they occur.

    There's also "common cause" variation. Consider a baseball pitcher. If he has

    good control, most of his pitches are going to be where he wants them. There

    will be some variation, but not too much. If he is "wild", his pitches aren't

    going where he wants them; there's more variation. There may not be any

    special causes - no wind, no change in the ball - just more "common cause"variation. The result: more walks are issued, and there are unintended fat

    pitches o t o e the plate he e batters can hit them In baseball control ins

    PROBLEM SOLVING METHODLOGY - 7 Q.C. TOOLS

    CONTROL CHARTS -

    Things to look for:

    The point of making control charts is to look at variation, seeking special causesand tracking common causes. Special causes can be spotted using several tests:

    1 data point falling outside the control limits

    6 or more points in a row steadily increasing or decreasing

    8 or more points in a row on one side of the centerline 14 or more points alternating up and down In those charts that pair two charts

    together, you will want to look for these anomalies in both charts

    The simplest interpretation of the control chart is to use only the first test listed.

    The others may indeed be useful (and there are more not listed here), but be

    mindful that, as you apply more tests, your chances of making Type I errors, i.e.

    getting false positives, go up significantly.
