Quality

A subjective term for which each person has his or her own definition. In technical usage, quality can have two meanings:

1. The characteristics of a product or service that bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs.

2. A product or service free from deficiencies.

Note: ISO 9000 : 2000 version defines Quality as “Degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfils

requirements.

3

Can also be termed as ‘A measure of excellence’

Quality

4

Quality - an essential and distinguishing attribute of something.

Attribute - an abstraction belonging to or characteristic of an entity

Appearance, visual aspect - outward or visible aspect of a thing

Attractiveness, attraction - the quality of arousing interest; being attractive or something that attracts;

Uncloudedness, clarity, clearness - the quality of clear water;

Ease, easiness, simplicity - freedom from difficulty or hardship or effort.

Suitability, suitableness - the quality of having the properties that are right for a specific purpose.

Excellence - the quality of excelling.

Characteristic - a distinguishing quality

Simpleness, simplicity - the quality of being simple or uncompounded

Meaning of “Quality”

Q = PE

P = Performance or resultE = Expectations

Many people think that quality costs money and adversely effects profits. But these costs are the costs of doing it wrong first time .

Quality in the long run results in increased profitability.

1.Higher production due to improved cycle time and reduced errors and defects

2.Increased use of machine and resources.

3.Improved material use from reduced scrap and rejects

4.Increased use of personnel resources

5.Lower level of asset investments required to support operations.

6.Lower service and support costs for eliminated waste, rework and non value added activities.

Quality and Profit

If the organization does not offer high quality product or service , it will soon go out of business . But just having high quality will not be enough , because your competitors will also have the high quality. To win , companies will need to offer high quality for a lower price than their competitors.This requires organizations to identify and reduce their quality costs

Based on “80/20” rule (or ABC analysis)

Pareto(V.Pareto,an Italian economist) discovered this universal law-80% of anything is attributed to 20% of its causes 80% of the wealth is held by 20% of the population.

• 80% of our income goes into 20% of our needs.• 80% of road accidents occur on 20% of the road.• 80% of the absenteeism in a company is due to 20% of workmen

“Significant few & in-significant many”

PARETO CHART

24

PARETO CHART

Pareto analysis begins by ranking problems from highest to lowest in order to fix priority

The cumulative number of problems is plotted on the vertical axis of the graph against the cause/phenomenon

Pareto by Causes e.g. Man,Machine,Method etc

Pareto by Phenomenon e.g.Quality,Cost,Delivery

Tells about the relative sizes of problems indicates an important message about biggest few problems, if corrected, a large % of total problems will be solved

DEFECT CONCENTRATION DIAGRAM

This is used to understand the potential defect prone area of the parts produced

The “Concentration Diagram” check sheet carries the diagram of the problematic part,defects whenever observed to be updated in the same using tally marks

Based on the distribution of defects countermeasures are taken at process/system level

This tool is very useful to solve problems like Scratch, Dent,Breakage thru’ handling improvement

For plastic molded parts this tool is used to identify stress points,weak joints,effect of gate shape/position on the quality of parts etc.

Control Chart

Quality control charts, are graphs on which the quality of the product is plotted as manufacturing or servicing is actually proceeding.

It graphically, represents the output of the process and uses statistical limits and patterns of plot, for decision making

Enables corrective actions to be taken at the earliest possible moment and avoiding unnecessary corrections.

The charts help to ensure the manufacture of uniform product or providing consistent services which complies with the specification.

35

Elements of Typical Control Chart

1. Horizontal axis for sample number

2. Vertical axis for sample statistics e.g.

mean, range, standard deviation of sample.

3. Target Line

4. Upper control line

5. Upper warning line

6. Lower control line

7. Lower warning line

8. Plotting of sample statistics

9. Line connecting the plotted statistics

36

Interpreting Control Chart

The control chart gets divided in three zones.

Zone - 1 If the plotted point falls in this zone, do not make any adjustment, continue with the process.

Zone - 2 If the plotted point falls in this zone then special cause may be present. Be careful watch for plotting of another sample(s).

Zone - 3 If the plotted point falls in this zone then special cause has crept into the system, and corrective action is required.

Establishing Control Chart

Step No.1

Select quality characteristics which needs to be controlled

- Weight- Length- Viscosity- Tensile Strength- Capacitance

49

Establishing Control Chart

Step No.2

Decide the number of units, n to be taken in a sample.

The minimum sample size should be 2. As the sample size increases then the sensitivity i.e. the quickness with which the chart gives an indication of shift of the process increases. However, with the increase of the sample size cost of inspection also increases.

Generally, n can be 4 or 5.

50

Establishing Control Chart

Step No. 3

Decide the frequency of picking up of sample

If the shift in the process average causes more loss, then take smaller samples more frequently.

If the cost of inspection is high then take smaller samples at large interval.

51

Establishing Control Chart

As and general guidance, for deciding the frequency of taking a sample, we can use the table given in the next slide.

If our lot size in a shift is say 3000, then in a shift we require 50 units. If the sample size n, is say 4 then

Number of visits to the process is = 50÷4 = 12

The time of an 8-hour shift, be divided in 12 equal parts. Samples should be taken round about every 45 minutes.

Establishing Control Chart

Step No. 5

Fill up the control chart data sheet

1) As per the plan, visit the process and

collect a sample of required number of units.

2) Measure the units and record.

3) Take requisite number of samples ( 20-25).

4) Calculate the mean of each of the sample.

5) Calculate the range of each of the sample.

56

Example - Establishing Trial Control Limits

A supervisor decided to put his process under statistical control. For the purpose of establishing control chart he collected 10 samples (Normally it should be 20 samples) containing 5 units. The samples were measured and the same is shown in the next slide. The desired target of the process, T is 50. Establish control chart for monitoring the process.

Step No. 8

Calculate Trial control Limits with target value, T

Trial control limits for mean control chartUpper Control Limit, UCLx = T + A2 x R

Lower Control Limit, LCLx = T - A2 x R

Trial control limits for range control chartUpper Control Limit, UCLr = D4 x R

Lower Control Limit, LCLr = D3 x R

63

Calculation of Trial Control Limits

Size of Subgroup, n = 5

Factor A2, when n is 5 = 0.577

Factor D4, when n is 5 = 2.115

Factor D3, when n is 5 = 0

Target value, T = 50

Mean Range, R = 4.4

64

Establishing Control Chart

Step No. 8

Trial control Limits in our case

For mean control chartUpper Control Limit, UCLx = 50 + 0.577 x 4.4=52.5

Lower Control Limit, LCLx = 50 - 0.577 x 4.4=47.5

For range control chartUpper Control Limit, UCLr = 2.115 x 4.4 = 9.3Lower Control Limit, LCLr = 0 x 4.4 = 0

65

Establishing Control Chart

Step No. 9

Discard the outliers

Outliers are those observations which do not belong to

normal population. If Outliers are included in the

calculation, then the information is distorted.

66

Checking for Outliers

Checking for mean outliers

Scan column of sample means. If any mean of sample is more than UCLx or less than LCLx then drop that sample.

Checking for range outliers

Scan column of sample range. If any range is more than UCLr then drop that sample.

67

If any sample(s) is dropped then recalculate the trial control limits using remaining sample(s).

Continue this exercise till there is no further droppings. When there is no further dropping trial control limits becomes control limits for control chart.

In all we can drop up to 25% of the samples

Checking for Outliers

68

Checking for Outliers

In our case

- None of the subgroup mean is more than 52.5

- None of the subgroup mean is less than 47.5

- None of the range is more than 9.3

- None of the range is less than 0

Hence there is no revision of trial control limits is required. These limits can be used for maintaining the control charts.

Calculation of Control Limits for Range Control Chart

Step No. 11

Compute warning limits for range control chart

Upper Warning Limit, UWLr = DWUR x R

Lower Warning Limit, LWLr = DWLR x R

75

Calculation of Warning Limits for Range Control Chart

In our case

Size of sub group, n = 5

Mean range R = 4.4

DWUR when n is 5 = 1.81

DWLR when n is 5 = 0.37

76

Calculation of Warning Limits for Range Control Chart

In our case warning limits for range control chart

Upper Warning Limit, UWLr = DWUR x R

= 1.81 x 4.4

= 8

Lower Warning Limit, LWLr = DWLR x R

= 0.37 x 4.4

Summary of Effect of Process Shift

When there is no shift in the process nearly all the

observations fall within -3 s and + 3 s.

When there is small shift in the mean of process some

observations fall outside original -3 s and +3 s zone.

Chances of an observation falling outside original -3

s and + 3 s zone increases with the increase in the shift

of process mean.

82

Our Conclusion from Normal Distribution

When an observation falls within original +3 s and -3 s zone of mean of a process, we conclude that there is no shift in the mean of process. This is so because falling of an observation between these limits is a chance.

When an observation falls beyond original +3 s and -3 s zone of process mean, we conclude that there is shift in location of the process

83

Interpreting Control Chart

Because the basis for control chart theory follows the normal distribution, the same rules that governs the normal distribution are used to interpret the control charts.

These rules include:

- Randomness.- Symmetry about the centre of the distribution.

- 99.73% of the population lies between - 3 s of and + 3 s the centre line.

- 95.4% population lies between -2 s and + 2 s of the centre line.

84

Interpreting Control Chart

If the process output follows these rules, the process is

said to be stable or in control with only common causes

of variation present.

If it fails to follow these rules, it may be out of control

with special causes of variation present.

These special causes must be found and corrected.
