However, When Making A Change To The Process, It Should Always Be A MINOR Change

The document discusses making minor, gradual adjustments to processes when slight deviations are observed on plots. It emphasizes that changes should be minor to avoid overcorrecting and causing the process to dramatically shift in the other direction. Control charts with upper, central, and lower control lines are mentioned as a way to monitor processes. X-bar and R control charts specifically show changes in both the mean and dispersion of a process over time. Fishbone diagrams are identified as a tool to thoroughly analyze the causes of problems.

This normally takes a minor adjustment to the process to make the correction and return the process to a normal

output.
However, when making a change to the process, it should always be a MINOR change.

If a plot is observed that shows a slight deviation trend upward or downward, the "tweaking" adjustment should be a slight change, and then another observation should be made.

Too often people will over-correct by making too big of an adjustment which then causes the process to dramatically shift in the other direction. For that reason, all changes to the process should be SLIGHT and GRADUAL!

Control Lines
A control chart is a graph or chart with limit lines, called control lines. There are basically three kinds of control lines: the upper control limit (UCL), the central line (actual nominal size of product), the lower control limit (LCL).

The Xbar & R Control Chart


An Xbar & R Control Chart is one that shows both the mean value ( X ), and the range ( R ). The Xbar portion of the chart mainly shows any changes in the mean value of the process, while the R portion shows any changes in the dispersion of the process.

This chart is particularly useful in that it shows changes in mean value and dispersion of the process at the same time, making it a very effective method for checking abnormalities within the process; and if charted while in progress, also points out a problem in the production flow in real time mode.

Cause & Effect Diagrams Identifying the Likely Causes of Problems Also called Fish or Fishbone Diagram and Ishikawa Diagrams

Cause and Effect analysis helps you to think through causes of a problem thoroughly. Their major benefit is that they push you to consider all possible causes of the problem, rather than just the ones that are most obvious
