Steps in Designing QC Systems
 Identify critical points
 Decide on the type of measurement
(variable versus attribute)
 Decide on the amount of inspection to be
used.
 Decide who should do the inspection

Process Quality Control
 Basic assumptions (tenets) of Process
Quality Control:
– Every process has random variation in it.
– Production processes are not usually found in a state of
control.
 “State of Control”; what does it mean?

Quality Measures: Attributes & Variables
 Attribute: is a product characteristics such as
color, surface texture, cleanliness, or smell or
taste
 Hence attributes can be evaluated as: good or
bad, acceptable or not, or yes or no
 A variable measure is a product characteristic
that is measured on a continuous scale such as
length h, temperature, or time

Types of Statistical Sampling
 Attribute (Go or no-go information)
– Defectives refers to the acceptability of product
across a range of characteristics.
– Defects refers to the number of defects per unit
which may be higher than the number of
defectives.
– p-chart application
– C-chart
 Variable (Continuous)
– Usually measured by the mean and the standard
deviation.
– X-bar and R chart applications

CHECK SHEETS
Used to keep a record
of the number and type
of discontinuities over a
specified period of time
or within a certain
batch of product.
PARETO CHART
A graphical representation ranking
discontinuities from the most to
least significant. Used to help
brainstorm what discontinuities, if
worked upon first, would be the
most likely to produce the greatest
improvement in quality.
Class Example
Our manufacturing procedure is composed of several steps. Several of these
procedures have lead to discontinuities noticed upon inspection. The steps causing
defectives are as follows:
 Caulking 198 defectives
 Fitting 25 defectives
 Connections 103 defectives
 Torque 18 defectives
 Gapping 72 defective
A Pareto Diagram will be developed.

CAUSE AND EFFECT DIAGRAMS (Fishbone Diagram)
Used in brainstorming session to help identify the causes of quality
losses. This diagram is particularly useful after the flow chart and
the Pareto diagrams have been developed.
QUALITY
(Effect)
Cause
Step 1:Decide on the quality characteristic {e.g. Reduction of
wobble during machine rotation}
Step 2:Set up the fish bone backbone
Step 3:Identify main factors causing effect {e.g. Workers,
Materials, Inspection, Tools}
Step 4: Add Cause to each branch
