Quality ControlTools

The QC 7 Tools consist of below:

• Histogram

• Cause and Effect Diagram

• Check Sheet

• Pareto Diagram

• Flow Chart

• Scatter Diagram

• Control Chart

HistogramIn statistics, a histogram is a graphical display of tabulated frequencies, shown as bars. It shows what proportion of cases fall into each of several categories. The categories are usually specified as non-overlapping intervals of some variable. The non-overlapping intervals of some variable. The categories (bars) must be adjacent. The intervals (or bands) should ideally be of the same size.

Cause and Effect DiagramThe Ishikawa diagram (or fishbone diagram or also cause-and-effect diagram) are diagrams, that shows the causes of a certain event. A common causes of a certain event. A common use of the Ishikawa diagram is in product design, to identify potential factors causing an overall effect.

Check SheetThe check sheet is a simple document that is used for collecting data in real- time and at the location where the data is generated. The document is typically a blank form that is designed for the quick, easy, and efficient recording of the desired quick, easy, and efficient recording of the desired information, which can be either quantitative or qualitative. When the information is quantitative, the check sheet is sometimes called a tally sheet.

Pareto Chart

A Pareto chart is a special type of bar chart where the values being plotted are arranged in descending order. The graph is accompanied by a line graph which shows the cumulative totals of each category, left the cumulative totals of each category, left to right. The chart is named after VilfredoPareto, and its use in quality assurance was popularized by Joseph M. Juran and Kaoru Ishikawa.

Flow ChartA flowchart is common type of chart, that represents an algorithm or process, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting these with arrows. connecting these with arrows. Flowcharts are used in analyzing, designing, documenting or managing a process or program in various fields.

Scatter ChartA scatter plot is a type of display to

display values for two variables for a set of data. The data is displayed as a collection of points, each having the value of one variable determining the position on the horizontal axis and the value of the other variable determining the position on the horizontal axis and the value of the other variable determining the position on the vertical axis. A scatter plot is also called a scatter chart, scatter diagram and scatter graph.

Control ChartThe control chart, also known as the Shewhart chart or process-behaviourchart, in statistical process control is a tool used to determine whether a tool used to determine whether a manufacturing or business process is in a state of statistical control or not.
