5 Questions
Who proposed the type of control chart known as the Shewhart control chart?
Walter A. Shewhart
What is the key principle mentioned regarding quality in the manufacturing process?
The product must be built right the first time, implying the need for a stable manufacturing process.
What are some of the individuals involved with the manufacturing process who must continuously seek to improve process performance and reduce variability?
Operators, engineers, quality-assurance personnel, and management
What is the primary tool for achieving stable manufacturing processes and reducing variability in key parameters?
On-line statistical process control (SPC)
What are the basic SPC techniques primarily concentrated on in chapters 5 through 8 of the text?
The type of control chart proposed by Walter A. Shewhart, called the Shewhart control chart
Study Notes
Importance of Process Control
- Inspecting or testing a product cannot ensure its quality; it must be built correctly from the start.
- This implies that the manufacturing process must be stable and constantly improved to reduce variability.
On-Line Statistical Process Control (SPC)
- A primary tool for achieving process stability and improving performance.
- Control charts are a fundamental on-line SPC procedure.
Control Charts
- Introduced by Walter A. Shewhart, known as Shewhart control charts.
- Chapters 5-8 focus on basic SPC techniques, with an emphasis on Shewhart control charts.
Fundamentals of SPC
- Chapter 5 covers the general methodology of statistical process control.
- Introduces fundamental problem-solving tools in SPC.
