SDCA uses the 7 Basic Quality Tools
• Cause-and-effect diagram (also called Ishikawa or fishbone chart): Identifies
many possible causes for an effect or problem and sorts ideas into useful
categories.
• Check sheet: A structured, prepared form for collecting and analyzing data;
a generic tool that can be adapted for a wide variety of purposes.
• Control charts: Graphs used to study how a process changes over time.
• Histogram: The most commonly used graph for showing frequency
distributions, or how often each different value in a set of data occurs.
• Pareto chart: Shows on a bar graph which factors are more significant.
• Scatter diagram: Graphs pairs of numerical data, one variable on each axis,
to look for a relationship.
• Stratification: A technique that separates data gathered from a variety of
sources so that patterns can be seen (some lists replace “stratification” with
“flowchart” or “run chart”).
