Statistical Quality Control (SQC)
where
The Range
Difference in machines.
Difference in operators.
Difference of time.
Distribution of Data
1) Central Tendency
2) Determine quality characteristics
3) Degree of asymmetry in distribution
Distribution of the Data
Here are some of the ways to represent and visualize the distribution of
data:
Check Sheets
Histogram
Pareto Chart
Control Chart
Cause and Effect Analysis Diagram
Stratification
Scatter Diagram
Check Sheets
It is used to collect data systematically and in real time to prepare it for
further analysis. The defining characteristic of a check sheet is that data are
recorded by making marks (checks) on it.
Histogram
A control chart has upper control limit (UCL) and lower control limit (LCL)
which separate common from assignable causes of variation. The UCL is the
maximum acceptable variation from the mean for a process which is in a
state of control while the LCL is the minimum acceptable variation from the
mean for a process which is in a state of control.
Cause and Effect Analysis Diagram
• also known as Ishikawa diagram, Herringbone diagram, or Fishbone
diagram
• Cause and effect analysis diagram technique combines brain-storming
with a type of mind map
Stratification
• The technique separates the data so that the pattern can be seen
Stratification can be used in the cases
(i) before collecting the data
(ii) when data come from several sources or conditions such as shifts, days of week,
suppliers, materials, products, departments, equipment, or population groups, and
(iii) when data analysis can need separating different sources or conditions.
Scatter Diagram
• a type of mathematical diagram using Cartesian coordinates to display
values for two variables for a set of data
• The data is displayed as a collection of points, each having the value of one
variable determining the position on the horizontal axis (x axis) and the value
of the other variable determining the position on the vertical axis (y axis)
Statistical Process Control
1. Variation
2. Cause variation
3. Optimizing continuous objective
SPC History
• SPC is effectively used in western industries since 1980, it was started
during the twenties in America.
• Walter A Shewhart developed the control chart as well as the concept
that a process could be in statistical control in 1924 at Bell Telephone
Laboratories, USA.
• Likewise, the SPC concepts are included in the management philosophy
by Dr. W.E. Deming just before World War II.
• However, SPC became famous after Japanese industries implement the
concepts and compete with western industries.
Statistical Quality Control (SQC)
• Firstly, identify the key process that impacts the output of the
product or the process that is very critical to the customer. For
example, plate thickness impacts the product’s performance
in a manufacturing company, then consider the plate
manufacturing process.
