• The seven Quality control tools are a fixed set of graphical techniques identified as
being most helpful in troubleshooting issues related to quality.
• Used to examine the production process, identify the key issues, control
fluctuations of product quality and give solutions to avoid future defects.
7 QC Tools:
1. Flowcharts(Stratification)
2. Cause and Effect diagram
3. Check sheet
4. Histogram
5. Pareto Chart
6. Scatter Diagram
7. Control Chart
Cause and Effect diagram(Fishbone or Ishikawa)
• The cause and effect diagram identifies the possible causes of any problem
(effect). The diagram sorts the ideas into following categories and then
brainstorming as well as why-why analysis helps in extracting the possible cause.
Check Sheet
• It is a structured form for collecting and analyzing data. The purpose is to
summarize the data and a tally count of event occurrences.
• Thus, it provides a rough representation of wherein a part of the process, defects
occurred.
Flow Charts(Stratification)
• A flow chart is a visual representation of the path an entity takes through a
process. This ‘entity’ could be a person, product or information.
Histogram
• It is a type of bar chart representing the frequency distribution of data from a
process. A histogram is a pictorial representation of a set of data.
Pareto Chart
• It is a type of chart that contains both bars and a line graph, where individual
values are represented in descending order by bars, and the cumulative total is
represented by the line.
• It is also known as 80:20 analysis chart which states 80% of an effect comes from
20% of the causes.
Scatter Diagram
• It is a type of graph that pairs numerical data, one variable on each axis to
determine a correlation between two variables.
Control Chart
• It is a type of run chart used for studying the process variation over time.
• Comparing current data to historical control limits leads to conclusions about
whether the process variation is consistent (in control) or is unpredictable (out of
control, affected by special causes of variation).
• It helps the user to determine the appropriate type of action to take on the process
depending on the degree of variation in the process.
