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.
