Check Sheet

A check sheet is a structured form used to collect and analyze repeated observational data. It can be adapted for various purposes like recording the frequency of events, problems, defects, or their locations and causes. Check sheets involve deciding what to observe, when to collect data, designing a simple form to record check marks or symbols without recopying, labeling the form, testing it, and recording data each time the targeted event occurs. An example check sheet tracks telephone interruptions over weeks by adding tick marks.
