Study Notes
- Basic quality tools (or basic seven quality tools) analyze and solve business problems
- Flow charts, Ishikawa fishbone diagrams, check sheets, histograms, Pareto charts (analysis), quality control charts, and scatter diagrams will be discussed
Flow Charts
- Process mapping tools identified as quality tools for many years
- Graphically represent the steps in creating a product or service
- There are three basic types
Block Diagrams
- A tool for mapping the basic requirements of a procedure
- Each block represents each of the individual procedure requirements
- Example: Measuring the pH of a phosphate buffer solution
Flow Chart (Detailed)
- Constructed using standard symbols
- Symbols describe "what" and "when" as shown by chart sequence
- The most important standard symbols are part of the ANSI standard symbols (American National Standards Institute)
