7 QC Tool PDF

The document discusses the 7 Quality Tools, which were developed by Kaoru Ishikawa to make statistical analysis more accessible. It describes the tools of flow charts, cause-and-effect diagrams, Pareto charts, and scatter diagrams. Flow charts visually map out steps in a process, cause-and-effect diagrams identify possible causes of problems or variations, Pareto charts illustrate the 80/20 rule where 20% of causes create 80% of problems, and scatter diagrams study relationships between two variables. The tools promote process understanding, problem identification, and data-driven improvement efforts.

Where did the Basic Seven


come from?
Kaoru Ishikawa
Known for Democratizing Statistics
The Basic Seven Tools made statistical analysis less
complicated for the average person
Good Visual Aids make statistical and quality control
more comprehendible.

What Is a Flowchart?
A diagram that uses graphic symbols
to depict the nature
and flow of the steps in a process.

Benefits of Using Flowcharts


Promote process understanding
Provide tool for training
Identify problem areas and improvement
opportunities
" Draw a flowchart for whatever you do. Until you do, you do not know

what you are doing, you just have a job.


-- Dr. W. Edwards Deming.

Keys to Success

Start with the big picture


Observe the current process
Record process steps
Arrange the sequence of steps
Draw the Flowchart

What Is a Cause and Effect


Diagram?
A graphic tool that helps identify, sort, and
display possible causes of a problem or
quality characteristic.

Benefits of Using
a Cause-and-Effect Diagram

Helps determine root causes


Encourages group participation
Uses an orderly, easy-to-read format
Indicates possible causes of variation
Increases process knowledge
Identifies areas for collecting data

Pareto Principle
Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923) Italian
economist
20% of the population has 80% of the wealth

adapted by Joseph Juran.


Remember the 80/20 rule states that
approximately 80% of the problems are created by
approximately 20% of the causes.

Scatter Diagrams Defined


Scatter Diagrams are used to study and
identify the possible relationship between the
changes observed in two different sets of
variables.

Constructing a Scatter Diagram


1. collect two pieces of data and create a summary
table of the data.
2. Draw a diagram labeling the horizontal and vertical
axes.
3. It is common that the cause variable be labeled on the X
axis and the effect variable be labeled on the Y axis.

4. Plot the data pairs on the diagram.


5. Interpret the scatter diagram for direction and
strength.
