➢Quality Control: The part of quality management focused on

fulfilling quality requirements.

➢Statistical quality control refers to the use of statistical methods in

the monitoring and maintaining of the quality of products and
services.
➢A scientific method of analyzing data and using the analysis to
solve pratical problems.

➢Scientifical means «having to

do with numbers» or «drawing Statistical With the help of numbers, or
conclusions from numbers». data
➢Quality refers to the «the
qualities or characteristics» of Quality We study the characteristics
the things or process being of our process
studied.
Control In order to make it behave
➢Control means «to keep the way we want it to
something within bounderies» or behave
«to make something behave the
way we want it to behave».

THE FATHER OF STATISTICAL QUALITY CONTROL

➢ Walter Andrew Shewhart (1891 – 1967), an American Physicist and

statistician.
➢ created the first statistical control charts of manufacturing processes, involved
statistical sampling procedures in Western Electric Company.
➢ published his findings in a 1931 book, Economic Control of Quality of
Manufactured Product.
➢ moved to The Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1925 and continued his
researches there.
➢ defined the fundamental principles and techniques basic to the efficient use of
statistical method in attaining statistical control, establishing tolerance limits,
presenting data, and specifying accuracy and precision.

18.01.2019 DR. NERMIN SÖKMEN 5

THE FATHER OF STATISTICAL QUALITY CONTROL

➢ Shewhart defined "common

causes", "special causes" and
Shewhart charts or control charts.
➢recommended 3 standard deviation
limits above and below the mean
value of the variable.
➢created the Shewhart Cycle or
PLAN, DO and SEE cycle.

18.01.2019 DR. NERMIN SÖKMEN 6

THE FATHER OF STATISTICAL QUALITY CONTROL

➢Shewhart’s methods influenced other statisticians like W. Edwards Deming,

Joseph Juran and Eugene Grant.
➢Walter A. Shewhart and William E. Deming published «Statistical Method from the
Viewpoint of Quality Control» in 1939.
➢ Joseph Juran published Quality Control Handbook in 1951.
➢ ‘Managing for quality makes extensive use of three such managerial processes: Quality
planning, Quality control and Quality improvement.’
➢These processes are now known as the “Juran trilogy.”
➢Juran descriped process improvement and statistical process control with using
Shewhart’s control charts.

18.01.2019 DR. NERMIN SÖKMEN 7

THE FATHER OF STATISTICAL QUALITY CONTROL

➢ Eugene Grant- founder of the fields of engineering economics, industrial

engineering, and statistical quality control (SQC).
➢He was also one of the founding fathers of the American Society for Quality
(ASQ) in 1946.
➢Grant’s work on statistical quality control was used in training programs to
improve quality and production in World War II industrial plants.
➢Grant studied the principles and concepts surrounding what came to be
known as QA.
➢Grant’s teaching of SQC during World War II, on behalf of War Production
Board, contributed greatly to the growth and spread of quality.

WHAT IS CONTROL CHART?

➢A control chart illustrates process behaviors by detecting changes in a process

output’s mean and/or standard deviation about the mean.
➢Every process exhibits some normal levels of variation, but a control chart is
designed to separate this normal or common cause variation from special cause
variations.
➢Control charts indicate visually whether a process is in-control (stable and
predictable), or if it is out of control (unstable and unpredictable).
➢When the control chart indicates the process is out of control, an operator
should take action to make adjustments to bring the process back under control
or initiate an investigation into the root cause.

18.01.2019 DR. NERMIN SÖKMEN 10

WHAT IS CONTROL CHART?
➢ Common causes- problems inherent in
the manufacturing system as a whole.
❖ Phenomena constantly active within
the system
❖ Inadequate product design,
❖ Inherited defective material, and
❖ Excessive humidity.
➢Special causes (assignable causes)-
local, sporadic problems
❖ New, unanticipated, emergent or
previously neglected phenomena within
the system
❖ The failure of a particular machine or
❖ A mistakenly recorded measurement.

18.01.2019 DR. NERMIN SÖKMEN 11

CHARACTERISTICS OF SHEWHART CHARTS

➢ The vertical axis of a Shewhart chart is

scaled in the same units as the summary
statistic.
➢ The horizontal axis of a Shewhart chart
identifies the subgroup samples.
➢Frequently, the samples are indexed
according to the order in which they were
taken or the time at which they were taken.
➢The central line on a Shewhart chart
indicates the average (expected value) of
the summary statistic when the process is in
statistical control.

18.01.2019 DR. NERMIN SÖKMEN 12

CHARACTERISTICS OF SHEWHART CHARTS
➢ The upper and lower control limits, labeled
UCL and LCL, respectively, indicate the range of
variation to be expected in the summary statistic
when the process is in statistical control.
➢ The control limits are commonly computed as
3σ limits representing three standard errors of
variation in the summary statistic above and
below the central line.
➢ A point outside the control limits signals the
presence of a special cause of variation.
➢ When the Shewhart chart correctly signals the
presence of a special cause, additional action is
needed to determine the nature of the problem
and eliminate it.

CONTROL CHART RULES AND INTERPRETATION

18.01.2019 DR. NERMIN SÖKMEN 14

 CLASSIFICATION OF SHEWHART CHARTS

➢ Shewhart charts are broadly

classified according to the type of
data analyzed.
➢ Shewhart charts for variables are
used when the quality characteristic
of a process is measured on a
continuous scale.

18.01.2019 DR. NERMIN SÖKMEN 15

 CLASSIFICATION OF SHEWHART CHARTS

➢ Shewhart charts for attributes are

used when the quality characteristic
of a process is measured by
counting
❖ the number of nonconformities
(defects) in an item or
❖ the number of nonconforming
(defective) items in a sample.

18.01.2019 DR. NERMIN SÖKMEN 16

CLASSIFICATION OF SHEWHART CHARTS

➢ Shewhart charts for variables are classified according to the

subgroup summary statistic plotted on the chart.
❖ Charts for individual measurements and moving ranges display
individual measurements and moving ranges of two of more successive
measurements. In this case the subgroup sample consists of a single
observation.
❖ Median and range charts display subgroup medians and ranges.
Typically the two charts are presented on the same page, with the
median chart aligned above the R chart.

18.01.2019 DR. NERMIN SÖKMEN 17

CLASSIFICATION OF SHEWHART CHARTS

➢When the sample size is 1<n≤10, the chart to use is

❖X and R charts display subgroup means (averages) and ranges. Typically
the two charts are presented on the same page, with the X chart aligned
above the R chart to facilitate the simultaneous analysis of the central
tendency and variability of the process.
➢ When the sample size is 10<n, the chart to use is
❖X and s charts display subgroup means (averages) and standard deviations.
Typically the two charts are presented on the same page, with the X chart
aligned above the s chart.

18.01.2019 DR. NERMIN SÖKMEN 18

CLASSIFICATION OF SHEWHART CHARTS

➢ Shewhart charts for attributes are classified according to the subgroup

summary statistic plotted on the chart:
❖ A p chart displays the proportion of nonconforming (defective) items in a
subgroup sample.
❖ An np chart displays the number of nonconforming (defective) items in a
subgroup sample.
❖ A u chart displays the number of nonconformities (defects) per unit in a
subgroup sample consisting of an arbitrary number of units.
❖ A c chart displays the number of nonconformities (defects) in a unit (here, a
subgroup sample typically consists of one unit).

➢Measurements may be too
expensive.
➢Production volumes may be too low.
➢Products may have a long cycle time.
Where production is slow so that
waiting for enough samples to make a
rational subgroup unacceptably
delays monitoring
➢For processes that produce
homogeneous batches (e.g., chemical)
where repeat measurements vary
primarily because of measurement
error.
➢Individual chart helps assess process
center.
➢Moving range plots process
variation.

INDIVIDUAL MEASUREMENTS AND MOVING RANGE
CHARTS (I-MR)
➢ Individual Measurements
and Moving Range Charts
The charts indicate that the
process is in control, because
all the points lie within the
control limits.

18.01.2019 DR. NERMIN SÖKMEN 27

 X-BAR CONTROL CHARTS

➢X-bar charts are used to monitor the

mean of a process based on samples
taken from the process at given times
(hours, shifts, days, weeks, months, etc.)
➢An initial series of subgroups is used to
estimate the mean of a process.
➢The mean is then used to produce control
limits for the mean of each subgroup.

18.01.2019 DR. NERMIN SÖKMEN 28

R CONTROL CHARTS

➢ R charts are used to monitor the

variation of a process based on
samples taken from the process at
given times (hours, shifts, days,
weeks, months, etc.).
➢ The measurements of the samples
at a given time constitute a
subgroup.

XBAR-R CONTROL CHARTS

➢Xbar-R charts are often used collectively to plot the process

mean (Xbar) and process range (R) over time for continuous data.
➢Xbar-R statement creates average X and R charts for subgroup
means and ranges, which are used to analyze the central tendency
and variability of a process.
➢The R chart is used to review the process variation which must be
in control to correctly interpret the Xbar chart.
