1 Flow charts 2 Check sheets3 Scatter diagrams4 Histograms 5 Pareto charts6 Cause and effect diagrams (Fishbone/Ishikawa diagrams)7 Control charts
Note: There are seven new tools, to aid in senior management planning, in addition to the seven tools covered here.
2
Flow chartsUses:
• To document flow of a new or current process
• To create common understanding of how a process works.
• To allow checking of sequence of activities
• To indicate problems
• To allow improvement of a process.
• To increase understanding of processes
• To identify linkages between processes.
• To assess compliance between actual and intended processes
• To identify gaps between procedures
3
A flowchart is:A diagrammatic tool to show the sequential relationship between activities, or the path or paths a process follows. It can be used as an overview, with broad detail, or as a fine detail tool with precise and small steps in processes.
Read the chart from start to finish following all paths to their end.
Read all notes and labels on the chart. • Question each step in the process as required.
How to use a flowchart:

Steps in Creating a flowchart1 Determine who should be involved in drawing up the
flowchart.2. Involve all team members. 3 Allow time to create and check the chart.4. Before drawing the chart, decide on the detail required5. Have questions prepared to help draw the chart.6 Identify the start and end-points, each decision point,
each process, then join points together.
You may wish to tape interviews with participants for future reference.

Check sheetsUses • To gather data• To provide clear record of data gathered• To ensure that everyone will gather comparable data• To provide data in a suitable form for further analysis• To highlight if a problem exists
A check sheet is:A form used to record how many times something has occurred. It is usually used by those involved in collecting raw data.
8
How to use a check sheet:• Obtain the correct sheet for the purpose.• Position yourself to clearly see what is going on.• Conduct the observation at the required intervals.• Place lines or strokes of a pen into appropriate box, groups
of five make it easy to count the strokes• Analyse the count of categories.
Check sheets
9
Steps in creating a check sheet• 1. Decide what data you need• 2. Design a form to suit the people using
it and the type of data to be collected• 3. Test the check sheet, using someone
not involved with designing the sheet• 4. Revise the sheet as necessary• 5. Design a tally check sheet to
summarise the data from individual forms (if necessary)

Scatter diagrams
Uses• To show relationships • To show strength of relationship
15
16
Scatter diagrams
Is a graph which shows relationship between two variables. A graph without lines joining the dots.
A graph that shows possible cause and effect relationships (regression)
17
How to use scatter diagrams:View the diagram for
• shape• trends (positive upwards, negative downwards)• closeness of points to a line
Scatter diagrams
18
Steps in creating a scatter diagram• Identify possible related variables• Collect data• Create scales for axes• Plot the points• Interpret the graph
Scatter diagrams
19
Scatter diagrams
20
Uses• To display statistical information. • To show frequency of occurrence, • To see concentrations of values• To sort data sets • To see gaps or outliers in the data set.• To see the shape of the data set, symmetry or
skewing etc.• To allow problem identification
Histograms
21
Histograms
A member of the Bar graph family. In quality management, histograms are used to plot discrete and continuous data.
These graphs show frequency of occurrence of the group of data by the height or length of a rectangle, which represents a group or category of data. Created by people collecting and analysing data, and read by people who require to understand the relationships between data groups.
22
How to use Histogram:• View the diagram for uniformity of shape, asking these
questions:•are there one or more peaks?•is the graph “normal’ in shape?•is the data clumped together?•is there a positive, negative or no skew?•are there any unusual features?
• Calculate the spread, • Note any outliers (values distant from the main group of
values)
Histograms

Histograms
Steps in creating a Histogram• Collect your data• Determine the range of the data• Determine how many groups you need• Group the data• Construct the axes• Draw the bars• Label the graph

26
Uses:•Identifying the one or two situation categories in which most of a problem occurs.•To focus attention on the major contributing factors.•To show progress in quality improvement projects.
Pareto charts
27
Pareto charts
A Pareto diagram is:• A method of classifying importance or order of magnitude. It
is a technique used to indicate the relative importance of occurrences. It can be regarded as an ordered or sorted Histogram.
• Managers at any level would read the diagram; people collecting data and performing the data analysis would prepare it.
28
How to use a Pareto diagram:• A Pareto diagram is a guide to action. It prioritises tasks or
problems for you.•View the diagram for shape, asking these questions:
•is there one dominant category?•is the diagram the expected shape?
•Check the action to take, •Instigate action on chosen activity.

Steps in creating a Pareto Diagram• Create a Histogram• Sort the categories• Read off the categories in order.

Cause and effect / fish bone / Ishikawa diagrams
Uses:• To solve problems. • To educate. • To guide discussion. • To actively seek causes.• To collect data.• To show relationships.
33
Cause and effect diagrams A diagram showing the links between a problem and its possible causes.
Has a problem stated in the box on the right side of the diagram and possible causes (under classification) on the left of the diagram.
Common classifications are:
Workers Materials,
Methods Machines
Environment
34
Cause and effect diagrams
How to use a cause and effect diagram
scan the diagram for an overview
Read the diagram, problem, possible causes
Read detail
Seek more causes under the classifications
Rank causes for likelihood of being the cause and degree of difficulty to rectify.
35
Cause and effect diagrams Steps in creating a C&E diagram
Gather team to create diagram
Select the scene, ensure all understand the situation
Identify the real problem
Develop possible causes
Classify causes into headings
Agree probable causes
Redraw diagram
Repeat until satisfied
36
Cause and effect diagrams Techniques used
Brainstorming for ideas, problem identification and probable causes.

Uses:• To indicate changes or differences in patterns over time. • To compare data from the same process at different time-
periods. • To compare different sources of the same process during
the same time-period.
Run chart
40
A Run chart is:A record of measurements presented in the order or sequence in which the data was taken.
It can take the form of a scatter graph or a line graph.
It has a time axis (the x-axis ) and a measurement axis (the y-axis).
Run chart
41
How to use a Run chart:A Run Chart is a guide to action, an aid to making
decisions. It displays the data in time order and so indicates trends.
View the diagram for shape, asking these questions:• is there a trend up or down?• is the data showing a wide spread?• is the data showing ‘normal’ variation?• Investigate reason for shape, if necessary• Make a choice based on data presented.
