Unit-2 SQC Tools
Unit-2 SQC Tools
• The various systems of quality control can be grouped into the following three classes:
• Statistical quality control was pioneered by Walter A. Shewhart in the year 1924.
• An SQC chart is a line graph that displays an ongoing picture of what is happening in a
process.
1. Flowcharts
2. Check sheets
3. Histograms, bar charts, and pareto charts
4. Scatter diagrams
5. Control charts
6. Cause-and-effect diagrams
7. Run chart
1. Flowcharts
• These charts are used to check the operational sequence if any operation or
dimension is missing.
• The pictorial representation of flow chart is shown below.
2. Check sheets
• These are also used to check missing operations or missing dimensions.
They are useful to detect and investigate during defect analysis.
• For example, before taking off, the pilot checks up all the controls and
fills up the check list. Most of the inspection reports generated in the
pathological laboratories are in the form of checklist.
3. Histograms, Bar charts, and Pareto analysis
• These are graphical representations in the form of bars.
• These are used to identify the causes and analyze the defects. Various
defects or rejection (or acceptance) levels can be compared within different
periods, places, machines, etc.
4. Scatter diagrams
• These are graphical representations in the form of points or lines/curves.
• These are also used to identify the causes and analyze the defects.
• Various defects or rejection (or acceptance) levels can be compared within
different samples, periods, places, machines, etc.
5. Control Charts
• Control charts is a graph that displays an ongoing picture of what is happening
in a process.
• Classification of control charts is shown below:
Control charts (cont)
• These charts are employed to control the process.
• These charts focus on several aspects such as controlling and monitoring the
process and performance.
• Mean/median and range/standard deviation charts are used for variables,
while p-, np-, and c-charts are used for attributes.
6. Cause-and-effect diagrams
• This diagram was introduced by Kaoru Ishikawa, a Japanese scientist.
• This diagram looks like a fishbone and therefore it is also called fishbone
diagram.
•Cotton color
•Cotton staple length
•Cotton fiber Maturity
•Micronire
•Strength of cotton fiber
•Length uniformity
