7 QC Tools

This document discusses 7 quality control (QC) tools that are used to ensure quality is maintained during production processes. The 7 tools are: 1) Cause & Effect Diagram, which identifies root causes of problems; 2) Check Sheets, which systematically collect data; 3) Control Charts, which determine if a process is in control; 4) Histograms, which analyze distribution patterns; 5) Pareto Charts, which identify the most impactful defects; 6) Scatter Diagrams, which examine relationships between variables; and 7) Stratification, which divides data into meaningful subgroups. These tools help manufacturers monitor operations, identify issues, and drive continuous process improvements.

7 QC TOOLS

What do you mean by QC Tools?


• Also called the 7 tools of quality. It is Any type of device
or tool that is used to support the quality of all products.
It can take the shape of a chart, technique or strategy
that can be used to ensure quality is maintained during
production techniques.
• These tools are related to numerical data processing . All of
these tools are important tools used widely at
manufacturing field to monitor the overall operation and
continuous process improvement.
1. Cause & Effect Diagram (Fishbone/Ishikawa
diagram)- A Cause and effect Diagram is a tool that shows
systematic relationship between a result or a symptom or an
effect and its possible causes.
• The very purpose of this diagram is to identify all root
causes behind a problem.
• It aims to help companies find solutions to problems and
their causes in a structured way. They refer to the main
influencing factors of processes, which often lead to
problems.
2. Check Sheets- Check sheets are tools for collecting
data. They are designed specific to the type of data to be
collected. Check sheets aid in systematic collection of data.

• In industries it is used to list down the important


checkpoints or events in a tabular/metrics format and keep
on updating or marking the status on their occurrence
which helps in understanding the progress, defect patterns
and even causes for defects.
• Some examples of check sheets are daily maintenance check
sheets, attendance records, production log books, etc.
3. Control Chart (Shewshart Chart)- Named
after Walter A. Shewhart is basically a statistical chart
which helps in determining if an industrial process is within
control and capable to meet the customer defined
specification limits.
• In industries, Control chart makes possible the diagnosis
and correction of many production troubles and brings
substantial improvements in the quality of the products and
reduction of spoilage and rework.
• It tells us when to leave a process alone as well as when to
take action to correct trouble.
4. Histogram- Histograms or Frequency Distribution
Diagrams are bar charts showing the distribution pattern of
observations grouped in convenient class intervals and
arranged in order of magnitude.

• In industries, Histograms are useful in studying patterns of


distribution and in drawing conclusions about the process
based on the pattern.
• It helps in prioritizing factors and identify which are the
areas that needs utmost attention immediately.
5. Pareto Chart- A Pareto Chart is a graph that indicates
the frequency of defects, as well as their cumulative impact.

• In industries, Pareto Charts are useful to find the defects


to prioritize in order to observe the greatest overall
improvement.
• Pareto Charts help experts in distinguishing vital few and
trivial many, it displays relative importance of causes of a
problem and helps to focus on causes that will have the
greatest impact when solved.
6. Scatter Diagram- Scatter diagram is also called
scatter plot, X-Y graph. The scatter diagram graphs pairs of
numerical data, with one variable on each axis, to look for a
relationship between them. If the variables are correlated,
the points will fall along a line or curve.
• The very purpose of scatter diagram is to establish a
relationship between problem (overall effect) and causes
that are affecting.
• Stronger the correlation, stronger the relationship will hold
true. The variables can be positively or negatively related
defined by the slope of equation derived from the scatter
diagram.
7. Stratification- Stratification is a method of dividing
data into sub–categories and classify data based on group,
division, class or levels that helps in deriving meaningful
information to understand an existing problem.
• In industries, stratification is used to divide the data and
conquer the meaningful information to solve a problem.
• Stratification can be used to ensure equal allocation of
subgroups of participants to each experimental condition.
This may be done by gender, age, or other demographic
factors.
That’s all for my presentation.
