Study Notes

Check Sheets

  • Check sheets are used to ensure all important steps or actions have been taken.
  • They are used to check that all aspects of a situation have been taken into account before action or decision-making.
  • Types of Check Sheets:
    • Attribute Check Sheet: Gathers data about defects in a process.
    • Variables Check Sheet: Gathers data about a process involving variables (e.g., size, length, weight, diameter).
    • Defect Location Check Sheet: Traces out the defect location on a product or its portion.
  • Steps in Constructing a Check Sheet:
    • Decide the type of data to be illustrated.
    • Decide which features/characteristics and items are to be checked.
    • Determine the type of check sheet to use (tabular form or defect position chart).
    • Design the sheet to be flexible.
    • Specify the format, instructions, and sampling method for recording the data.
    • Decide the time period over which data are to be collected.

Histograms

  • A histogram is a bar graph showing frequency data of a group about the central value.

Flowcharts

  • Flowcharts map out a process.
  • They describe the stages, in sequence, using an agreed methodology.
  • They assess if these stages are in the correct sequence.
  • People involved with the process should check its veracity.

Run Charts

  • Run charts are simple graphic representations that display data in the order they occur.
  • They show a characteristic of a process over time or order.
  • They are used to understand trends and shifts in a process, variation over time, and identify decline or improvement in a process over time.
  • Events on the y-axis are graphed against a time period on the x-axis.
  • The Four Rules of Run Charts:
    • A Shift: six or more consecutive data points either all above or below the median.
    • A Trend: five or more consecutive data points increasing or decreasing in value.
    • Too Many or Too Few Runs: a run is a consecutive series of data points above or below the median.

Pareto Analysis

  • Pareto analysis is a statistical method used to identify the vital few from the trivial many.
  • It is based on the Pareto principle (80/20 rule).
  • It helps to prioritize problems and focus on the most important ones.
  • Disadvantages of Pareto Analysis:
    • It is easy to make but difficult to troubleshoot.
    • Multiple charts may be needed to trace the causes of the problem.
    • It is dependent on the availability of reliable data.

Cause-and-Effect Diagrams (Fishbone Diagrams)

  • Cause-and-effect diagrams are used to identify all of the contributing root causes likely to be causing a problem.
  • They are also called Fishbone Diagrams.
  • They analyze process dispersion.
  • They help organize and relate factors, providing a sequential view.

Scatter Diagrams

  • Scatter diagrams are graphs of points plotted.
  • They are helpful in comparing two variables.
  • The distribution of the points helps identify the cause-and-effect relationship between variables.
  • The Y axis represents the dependent variable, and the X axis represents the independent variable.

Quality Function Deployment (QFD)

  • QFD is a technique that translates customer needs into design requirements.
  • It emphasizes the "voice of the customer" as the driving force for company operations.
  • It requires data from diverse sources: customers, design functionality, costs, capital, reliability, and reproducibility.

Design of Experiments (DOE)

  • DOE is a series of techniques that identify and control parameters affecting product performance and reliability.
  • The objective is to optimize product design, process design, and process operation, and minimize the influence of noise factors.
  • It analyzes the significance of effects on system outputs from different values of design parameters.

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

  • FMEA is a systematic and analytical quality planning tool used to identify potential problems in a product, service, or process design.
  • It was developed in the aerospace and defense industries for reliability analysis, risk analysis, and risk management.
  • It aids fault diagnosis and is powerful for advanced quality planning of new products and services.

Statistical Process Control (SPC)

  • SPC is a method for controlling processes using statistical methods.
  • Its main uses are:
    • To achieve process stability.
    • To understand how to improve processes by reducing variation.
    • To assess process performance.
    • To provide information for management decision-making.

Benchmarking

  • Benchmarking is a learning opportunity by comparing one’s processes to others.
