Inspections
• Inspection includes activities such as measuring, examining and
testing that is undertaken to determine whether results conform to
requirements.

Quality Control Charts
✓ The upper control limits and lower control limits are usually set at +/- 3 sigma (i.e. standard
deviation).

Run Chart
• It shows the history and pattern of variation.
• It is a line graph that shows data points plotted in the order in which they occur.
• Can be used to perform trend analysis to forecast future outcomes based on
historical patterns

Scatter Diagrams
Scatter Diagram:
Shows the pattern of the
relationships between two
variables.
Level of Correlation:
• None
• Weak
• Strong
• Complex

Pareto Diagram – 80/20 Rule
• Pareto Principle states that, for many events, 80% of the effects come from
20% of the causes.
• Vilfredo Pareto developed the principle in 1906 when he observed that 20%
of the pea pods in his garden contained 80% of the peas.
• The idea is to spend the majority of your time fixing the most important
problems.

Statistical Sampling
• Statistical sampling involves choosing part of a population of interest
for inspection (e.g., selecting ten engineering drawings at random
from a list of 75).
• Sample frequency and sizes should be determined during the Quality
Planning process and the cost of quality should include the number
of tests, expected scrap, etc.
• Sampling types include
• Random sampling
• Acceptance sampling (drives acceptance or rejection)
• Attributes sampling (binary – yes/no)

Statistical Sampling
• Statistical sampling involves choosing part of a population of interest for
inspection
• The size of a sample depends on how representative you want the sample to be
• It is best to take a sample of a population if you believe there are not many
defects, or if the entire population would:
• Be too destructive
