Introduction
What is Quality ? Totality of characteristics of an entity that bear on its ability to satisfy stated and implied needs of customers. What is Quality Control ? Quality control is the process through which we measure actual quality performance, compare it with a standard, and act on the difference
2
What is SPC
Controlling the process through the use of statistics
Statistical Taking of measurements and the arrangement of those measurements in clear pattern to allow predictions to be made on performance Process Any activity involving a combination of Man, Machine, Material, Method, Tools working together to produce a final product Comparing actual performance with target and what corrective action is necessary to achieve the target
3
Control
Differences will occur due to sources of variation which are inherent in the machine such as Vibration, Speed, Power etc.
The extent of the variation can be measured and is called Machine Capability.
6
Results of SPC
Improvement in Quality & Reliability Reduction in Scrap and Rework leading to economy in raw material used Decreased Inspection cost
Efficient use of men and machines leading to reduction in cost per unit of the product
7
Results of SPC
Quality Consciousness at all levels Scientific evaluation of standards for quality and production Improved level of Customer Satisfaction

Pareto Diagram
A method of showing a table of data in graphical format to aid understanding This gives a visual impact The technique of arranging data according to its importance and then typing to a problem solving frame work Focus on the issue that is to be attended first by all concerned
18
Pareto Diagram
Pareto Diagram helps in identifying and isolating Vital few factors from Trivial many
70% to 80% of the defects will arise from 10% - 20% of the causes. These are called Vital few which are highlighted for special attention. Elimination of these Vital few cause will considerably reduce the total no. of defects.
The remaining 20% - 30% of the defects are from various causes which are called Trivial many

Scatter Diagram
Scatter Diagram are used to examine the relations between two variables to find whether they are related, by controlling the independent variable, the dependent variable is also controlled. Scatter Diagram is a Graphical plot of characteristic on Y- axis and the influencing variable on X- axis Scatter Diagram is used in explaining the behavior of a process and the means of controlling it.

Stratification
Stratification is the process of separation of data into categories, it is normally done for identifying the categories contributing to the problem

Histograms
It provides a simple and common language
Show the variation in products coming from a process. Give a picture to the nature of the variation
Purpose
To find fact and Visualization of Data To know the central value of the Group To know the extent of variation in the Group To estimate the % Non-Conformance

36
Normal Distribution
Most of measured characteristics and natural phenomena exhibit this pattern of variation. Higher frequency around the central value and lesser frequency at values away from central value. This pattern of variation is known as Normal pattern
37
Normal Distribution
Properties
The frequency curve is Bell shaped
The distribution is Symmetrical around average The distribution is completely known when its Average (X) & Standard deviation ( S ) are known The area between any two vertical lines represents the chance of obtaining an observation in this interval
38
Purpose
To identify the pattern of variation of output
To estimate the capability of machine and compare to product specification To estimate % of out of specification parts which might occur if the machine proves incapable
39
41
Record measurements in sequence from an uninterrupted production run. If any non-planned interruption occurs ( Tool breakage, machine fault ) discard the partially collected sample and start again Identify each part by its sequence. Retain all parts until analysis of study data is over Observe process and note any unusual occurrence along with the sequence number of the parts produced immediately after the event If a single measurement is found to be way out of line with others, the part should be examined for any special cause. Record the results of such an examination. Only if it is verified that the cause is not due to the machine, may the part be excluded for determining the capability

Variations
- are due to Causes
Causes
Chance / Inherent
Many in number, not economical to eliminate
Assignable / Special
Few in number , economical to eliminate Large in magnitude & Sporadic in nature
46
Assignable Causes
Sources of variation which will be due to specific identifiable causes such as variation in Raw material, Operator, Tool wear, Wrong setting etc., these removal are usually the responsibility of someone who is connected directly with the operation Very few in effect at any time The effect is measurable They can be found and eliminated The machine operator is best able to discover and make changes They occur infrequently in an unpredictable manner
48
Assignable Causes
Workmen Carelessness Untrained Workmen Poor maintenance Defective material Blow holes Mix-up of material Wrong speed & feed Bush oversize Wrong drawings Clamps broken Checking of hot jobs with cold instruments

Control Charts
Control charts are Visual representation of variations in the selected parameters over a time A Control chart is simply a Run Chart with statistically determined upper and lower limits drawn on either side of the process Control charts are used to assess and maintain the stability of the process Control chart indicates whether the process variation is natural and to be expected ( Chance cause ) or due to special cause (Assignable cause) Control chart provides a common language for communications about the performance of a process
51
Control Charts
SPC involves control followed by Improvement Process are initially brought under control by identifying and eliminating the Assignable Cause variation. A controlled situation is one when the process is operating only under the influence of Chance Cause ( Inherent ) variation Control charts is a simple Graphical device which will help to identify the presence of any Assignable Cause In short, Control chart will indicate How well the job is running It gives when the job is running satisfactorily Or when something has gone wrong needing corrective action
52
53
UCL
A Control chart has three lines. One at the centre is central line ( CL ) and the lines on either side of the central line are known as Control limits The one above is called the Upper Control Limit ( UCL ) The one below is called the Lower Control Limit ( LCL )

Control Charts
Control Limits Vs Specification Limits
Specification limits / Drawing limits Describe what the customer requires the process to produce or what the product measurements must be.
Control limits Describe what the process is actually giving you. If the UCL is above the USL, the LCL is below the LSL, or both, it means that your process will predictably give you a certain (almost certainly too high) percentage of out-of-spec output
56
Attribute Data
Np Chart used for monitoring
no. of defective items in a sample of given size
P Chart used for monitoring fraction defective C Chart used for monitoring the defects in a single part or assembled unit U chart used for monitoring the defects, unequal sample sizes
