Seven Tools For Quality Control: Cause and Effect Diagram

Control charts, flow charts, histograms, Pareto charts, and scatter diagrams are seven quality control tools that can be used to analyze processes, identify problems, and find relationships between variables. Control charts monitor processes to identify conditions like variation. Flow charts map processes to understand relationships and critical paths. Histograms illustrate the frequency and extent of two variables. Pareto charts identify priorities by recording occurrences. Scatter diagrams present the relationship between two variables on a Cartesian plane for further analysis.

SEVEN TOOLS FOR QUALITY CONTROL

Cause and Effect Diagram


Cause and effect diagrams (Ishikawa Diagram) are used for understanding organizational or
business problem causes. Organizations face problems everyday and it is reuired to understand the
causes of these problems in order to solve them effectively. Cause and effect diagrams e!ercise is
usually teamwork.
Chec Sheet
" check sheet can be introduced as the most basic tool for uality. " check sheet is basically
used for gathering and organizing data. #hen this is done with the help of software packages such as
$icrosoft %!cel& you can derive further analysis graphs and automate through macros available.
'herefore& it is always a good idea to use a software check sheet for information gathering and
organizing needs.
C!ntr!" Charts
Control chart is the best tool for monitoring the performance of a process. 'hese types of
charts can be used for monitoring any processes related to function of the organization.
'hese charts allow you to identify the following conditions related to the process that has been
monitored.
#ra$hs !r F"!% charts
'his is one of the basic uality tools that can be used for analyzing a seuence of events. 'he
tool maps out a seuence of events that take place seuentially or in parallel. 'he flow chart can be
used to understand a comple! process in order to find the relationships and dependencies between
events.
(ou can also get a brief idea about the critical path of the process and the events involved in
the critical path. )low charts can be used for any field to illustrate comple! processes in a simple way.
&ist!gram
*istogram is used for illustrating the freuency and the e!tent in the conte!t of two variables.
*istogram is a chart with columns. 'his represents the distribution by mean. If the histogram is normal&
the graph takes the shape of a bell curve. If it is not normal& it may take different shapes based on the
condition of the distribution.
*istogram can be used to measure something against another thing. "lways& it should be two
variables.
'aret! Charts
+areto charts are used for identifying a set of priorities. (ou can chart any number of
issues,variables related to a specific concern and record the number of occurrences. 'his way you can
figure out the parameters that have the highest impact on the specific concern. 'his helps you to work
on the propriety issues in order to get the condition under control.
Scatter Diagram
#hen it comes to the values of two variables& scatter diagrams are the best way to present.
-catter diagrams present the relationship between two variables and illustrate the results on a
Cartesian plane. 'hen& further analysis& such as trend analysis can be performed on the values.In these
diagrams& one variable denotes one a!is and another variable denotes the other a!is.
