Study Notes

7 QC Tools and Techniques

  • The 7 QC tools and techniques are essential for quality improvement and problem-solving in organizations.

Check Sheet

  • A check sheet is a simple yet powerful tool used to collect and record data.
  • It helps track and analyze information when designed to meet specific needs.
  • Example: recording the number of defects in each production batch.

Pareto Chart

  • A Pareto chart is a visual tool that prioritizes problems or causes by displaying them in descending order of frequency or impact.
  • It enables focus on the vital few problems, rather than the trivial many.
  • Example: identifying and ranking the most common customer complaints to address them effectively.

Cause and Effect Diagram (Fishbone Diagram)

  • A cause and effect diagram is a problem-solving tool that identifies and analyzes potential causes contributing to a specific effect or problem.
  • It aids in uncovering root causes and finding solutions.
  • Example: mapping out the possible causes of equipment breakdowns in a manufacturing facility.
