CHECK SHEET
- Make it easy to compile data in such a
PURPOSE
METHODOLOGY
These are six simple steps to draw a check sheet :
1.
Purpose
2.
Time Period
3.
Variety of information
6.
Record Data
BENEFITS
Identification the causes of failure
Actions on the basis of evidence, not
feeling.
Involving people in Quality Movement.
Simple method of data collection that
can be easily understood and applied in
a wide range of areas.
GRAPHS
Are visuals displays of data which
are used to organize and
summarize the data
Can be used effectively and easily
for identifying the problem area,
illustrating current and new,
improved situation
TYPES OF GRAHPS
LINE GRAPH
BAR GRAPH
PIE CHART
LINE GRAPHS
Primarily used for comparing the data, identifying
problem areas and outlining any patterns in the data
Methodology
Choose variables to be measured
Collect data
Label scale X and Y axis
Plot the Data and connect the data
points with straight lines
BAR GRAPHS
Used primarily for comparison purposes
Histogram and Pareto Chart are special
form of Bar Chart
Methodology
Same as Pareto and Histogram
PIE CHARTS
Used for comparing relative
magnitude and contribution to the
whole
HISTOGRAM
HISTOGRAM
Communicate visually information about Process
behaviour. Simplest and best techniques to analyse
and
display for easy communication.
-
WHEN TO USE
- At the early stages of Problem solving when a
Person / team is trying to find out what is
happening.
- When a general pattern of figures have to be
highlighted rather than true absolute figures. To
know how overall Process looks like.
- To identify root causes
- To compare the Process Performance before and
after corrective action is initiated
- When in shortest time maximum clarity of
communication to be achieved
HOW TO USE
- Collect the data values
- Find out minimum & maximum value in the data
- Compute the range R=Max-Min
- Determine the no. of intervals in the Histograms
No. of Observations No. of intervals (k)
Less than 50
5 to 7
50 to 100
6 to 10
101 to 250 7 to 12
More than 250
10 to 20
- Divide Range into class intervals to determine the
width of each interval H=R/k - Round figure
- Decide the class intervals, class boundaries and mid
points
- Go through the observations and make the tally marks
- Count the frequencies in each class

INTERPRETATION OF HISTOGRAM
-
BENEFITS
- Histogram is an important Quality
Improvement tool. The Pictorial summary of
the data conveys excellent information
about the process. As power lies in its
picturisation.
- Histogram are a simple visual way of viewing
data that highlights non-normal situations.
WHEN TO USE
- To find Potential solutions to a problem
and is looking for the root cause
- Analyse the causes to trace the real or
root causes.
METHODOLOGY
1. State the problem
2. Write the Problem on the right. Draw a broad arrow
from the left to the right
3. Writhe the main factors (Use 4M and 1E) which may be
causing the problem, directing a branch arrow to the main
arrow.
4. Using brain storming techniques list various causes
under each main diagonal lives to represent possible
causes.
PARETO ANALYSIS
- Special form of vertical bar graph which help us to
determine which Problem to solve in what order. For
ranking items from the most frequent to the least
frequent.
- Rank improvement opportunities
- Display the contribution of each item to the total effect
in order of importance
- Pareto Principle states that just a few of items often
account for most of the effect.
- Pareto Chart help us our attention and efforts on truly
important problems based on data collected in the
Check Sheet.

Scatter Diagram
Quality Problems sometimes require a study of the relationship
between two or more variables
Scatter Diagrams
Show degree and direction of relationship
between two variables
Determine contribution of cause to effect
Use regression to quantify relation

Histogram
The Following data represent the measurements of m/c parts
produced by lines A and B. The tolerance limits are 150+/- 0.05mm
make a Histogram and investigate the relationship between the
parts from lines A and B and the boundaries. The Values were arrived
at by subtracting 150 mm from measured values and then multiplying
by 100

production process in the month of April by a certain
electrical manufacturer (Producing mainly stereo equpt.)
1. From this data, make a pie diagram. A bar graph and a
Pareto diagram of the respective items and the responsible
sections
