CONTROL CHARTS FOR

ATTRIBUTES
DEFINITION

 The term Attribute refers to those quality characteristics


that conform to specifications or do not conform to
specifications.
 Attribute are used:
1. Where measurements are not possible.
2. Where measurements can be made but are not
made because of time, cost, or need.
DEFECT:
 Defect is appropriate for use when evaluation is in terms
of usage.
 Nonconformity is appropriate for conformance to
specifications.
 The term Nonconforming Unit is used to describe a unit
of product or service containing at least one
nonconformity.
DEFECTIVE
 Defective is analogous to defect and is appropriate for
use when unit of product or service is evaluated in
terms of usage rather than conformance to
specifications.
 Limitations of variable control charts: These charts
cannot be used for quality characteristics which are
attributes.
TYPES OF ATTRIBUTE CHARTS:

1. Nonconforming Units (based on the Binomial


distribution): p chart, np chart.
2. Nonconformities (based on the Poisson
distribution): c chart, u chart.
P CHART

 The P Chart is used for data that consist of the


proportion of the number of occurrences of an event to
the total number of occurrences.
 It is used in quality to report the fraction or percent
nonconforming in a product, quality characteristic, or
group of quality characteristics.

NP CHART
 The np chart is almost the same as the p chart.
Central line = npo

UCL  npo  3 npo (1  po )


LCL  npo  3 npo (1  po )

 Ifpo is unknown, it must be determined by


collecting data, calculating UCL, LCL.

C CHART
 The procedures for c chart are the same as those
for the p chart.
 If count of nonconformities, is unknown, it must
be found by collecting data, calculating UCL &
LCL.

Advantages of attribute control charts

 Allowing for quick summaries, that is, the


engineer may simply classify products as acceptable
or unacceptable, based on various quality criteria.

 Thus, attribute charts sometimes bypass the need


for expensive, precise devices and time-consuming
measurement procedures.

 More easily understood by managers unfamiliar


with quality control procedures.
