Control
Topic 1—Statistical Process Control
Copyright 2014, Simplilearn, All rights reserved.
Statistical Process Control (SPC) was developed by Walter A. Shewhart in 1924. SPC aids in the visual
monitoring of a process and controls its parameters by placing statistical measures around the
process outputs or input variables.
Following are the benefits of SPC:
● Separates the special and common causes of variability
● Recognizes the unexpected changes in the process output quickly
● Helps to identify the stable zone for variables where specification limits are unknown
● Provides useful external information for the continuous improvement of the process
● Helps in monitoring a process online

Common Cause Variation
The common cause variation is the variation that can be usually seen in the process.
Example: Minute variations in the raw materials
Features of Common Cause
VariationPart of the process and the organization is aware of its presence.
Frequency of its occurrence is high, hence can be easily predicted.
Causes for this variation are repetitive.
Identifying and removing these causes requires huge investment and is time consuming.
This variation will be within the tolerance or specification limits.
5

Special Cause Variation
The special cause variation is the variation that cannot be normally seen in the process.
Example: Machine or system crash
Not part of the process, affects the regular process, and produces defects.
Frequency of occurrence is less and cannot be predicted.
Causes are non-repetitive.Identifying and removing these causes require less investment.
Features of Special Cause
Variation
Variation affects the flow of the process due to which the defects appear.

Common Cause Variation vs. Special Cause Variation
Common Cause Variation
● Frequency of occurrence is high
● Predictable
● Part of the process
● High investment for removal
● Repetitive
● Elimination is difficult
Special Cause Variation
● Frequency of occurrence is less
● Unpredictable
● Is not part of the process
● Relatively less investment for removal
● Not repetitive
● Elimination is comparatively easy
Common cause variation and special cause variation can be differentiated as follows:

Rational Subgrouping
Approach I to construct rational subgroups
Sample consists of units produced at the same
time—consecutive units.
● Primary purpose is to detect process shifts
Approach II to construct rational subgroups
Sample consists of units that are representative of all
units produced since the last sample—random
sample.
● Often used to make decisions about acceptance
of product
● Effective at detecting shifts to out-of-control state
and back into in-control state between samples
Rational subgrouping refers to the selection of subgroups or samples in a way that if assignable
causes are present, chance for differences between subgroups will be maximized and chance for
differences due to assignable causes within a subgroup will be minimized.

Data Collection for SPC
The data collection process for SPC is as follows:
List the project goalsIdentify measurable items to understand process
Determine if other measures are appropriate
Document purpose of data collection
Write operational definitions for each measure
Check for availability of historic data
Document the name of the person collecting the data
Find the duration for data validation
Implement end-to-end process and ensure it is followed regularly
Finalize method of collecting, aggregating/summarizing, and displaying data
Confirm who will review and validate the data and how often

Data Collection for SPC—Techniques
Some of the data collection techniques for SPC are as follows:
Census Sampling Experiment Observational
Collects and uses the
complete data from the
population.
Collects data from a
subset of a population
and estimates the
population attributes.
A controlled study
performed to
understand the cause-
and-effect relationships
between multiple
variables, inputs and
outputs, etc.
Attempts to
understand cause-and-
effect relationships,
however specific
treatment is not given
to the groups.

Control Chart Anatomy
Control chart, developed by Walter Shewhart in the 1920s, plots and processes the data (input X data
and output Y data) over a period and connects by lines, in order to detect trends or unusual events.
Characteristics of control charts are as follows:
● They are similar to Run Charts, with an addition of control limit lines and an average/center line.
● Control charts can be used with discrete or continuous data.
● Control limits are typically set at approximately three standard deviations (3s) from the center
line.
● Specification limits (USL and LSL) do not appear on them.

Control Chart Anatomy—Sample
A sample control chart is shown on the screen.

Control Charts and Analysis
Control charts are useful for tracking process statistics over time and detecting the presence of
special causes. A process is in control when:
● most of the points fall within the bounds of the control limits; and
● the points do not display any nonrandom patterns.
The data is depicted visually in a control chart. Hence it is easy to find the differences between common cause and special cause.!
13
Copyright 2014, Simplilearn, All rights reserved.
A standard control chart uses control limits at three standard deviations of the mean (σmean) from the
data’s grand average ( X, average of the sample averages, or μ).
The probability of an out-of-control point when the process has not changed is only 0.27%.
If the control limits are set at:
● 2 standard deviations—increases the chance of type I or alpha error.
● 4 standard deviations—increases the chance of a type II or beta error.
Setting the Control Limits
Walter Shewhart had set 3σ limits on control charts with the belief that when the process goes beyond these limits, it needs correction.!
14

An Out-Of-Control (OOC) condition is indicated if one of the following is true:
Common Rules for Control Chart Analysis
1 point is outside the Control Limits (either above UCL or below LCL).
p(f) = 0.27%
8 consecutive points are above the Center Line (CL) or consecutively below the CL.
p(f) = (0.5)8 = 0.39%
6 to 8 points are consecutively increasing or decreasing. p(f) = (0.5)6 or (0.5)8 = 1.6% to 0.39%
2 out of 3 points are within 1 σmean of either the UCL or the LCL.
p(f) = 3!
(2!1!)(0.023)2(0.477)= 0.08% for one side

There are two ways in which sampling of continuous data can be done.
Choosing an Appropriate Control Chart—Continuous Data
Continuous Data
Individual Data Points
(Pulling one sample at fixed frequency)
ImR Chart
(Depicts the variability of individual characteristics over time)
Subgroups
(Taking periodic group data)
X and R Chart
(If n is between 2 and 9)
X and s Chart
(When standard deviation is calculated and n≥10)
16

Discrete data can be sub-divided into two parts.
Choosing an Appropriate Control Chart—Discrete Data

X refers to average and the subgroup average data will be plotted on the X chart.
Some of the principles of X and R and X and s charts are as follows:
● X and R and X and s charts are two separate charts of the same subgroup data.
● X chart is a plot of the means of subgroup data and shows inter-subgroup or between-subgroup
variation.
● R chart is a plot of the subgroup ranges (or if s, plot of subgroup standard deviation) and shows
intra-subgroup variation.
● In X control charts, the control limits are calculated based on mean of means, range, or standard
deviation, and other factors.
● X and R and X and s charts can be plotted with any type of data.
X Chart Principles
18
Copyright 2014, Simplilearn, All rights reserved.
X is the grand average and R is the average of the range.
Defining UCL and LCL in X and R Chart
UCL X= X + A2
R
LCL X= X - A2
R
UCLR = D4 R
LCLR = D3 R
A2, D3, and D4 are values from the control chart table.!19
Copyright 2014, Simplilearn, All rights reserved.
Standard deviation of each subgroup data is represented as s. The data is divided into subgroups and
standard deviation is calculated for each subgroup.
Defining UCL and LCL in X and s Chart
Values for A3, B3, and B4 are constant and are taken from the control chart table. X and s charts are used to track process variation where the subgroup sample size ≥ 9.!
UCL = X + A3 S
LCL = X - A3 S
UCL = B4 S
LCL = B3 S

● In X and R chart, point SG 6 is the point of change in the process from below the center line to above the center.
● No points are outside control limits in the given process; however, examine points 6 and 7 on X chart, and points 10 and 11 on the R chart for rule #4 (If 2 out of 3 points are within 1 σmean of either the UCL or the LCL).

● The X chart point SG 10 is the variation of the point from the mean.
● Also, points 4, 10, and 23 have more variation from the center. These points can be analyzed further.
● The points are within the limits, and hence the process is in control.

ImR charts are two separate charts of the same data. Some of the principles of the ImR chart are as
follows:
● The I-chart is a plot of the individual data points.
● The MR-chart is a plot of the moving range of the previous individuals.
● ImR charts are sensitive to trends, cycles, patterns, and normality.
● ImR charts are used:
o when subgroup variation is zero or no subgroups exist; and
o with data points from destructive testing or batch processing, or summary data from a time
period.
● Control limits of the ImR chart are calculated using the same method as the X and R chart.

Given is the data used to study the number of calls handled per hour in call center operations. This
data was studied using ImR charts to check if the process is in control. The data, ImR chart, and
analysis are as follows:
ImR Chart—IT/ITES Example
Data: ImR Chart:
Analysis:● In I-chart, all points are closer to the
mean value. The process is well within control.
● In MR chart, there are a few points closer to LCL. The process variation can be investigated further. However, no point is outside the control limits.

Based on sample size and data type (defects or defectives), the following types of control charts can
be selected:
Control Charts for Attribute Data
If the sample size is consistent and the data type is defectives np chart should be used
If the sample size is consistent and the data type available changes from defectives to defects
c chart should be used
If the sample size is inconsistent and the data type is defectives p chart should be used
If the sample size is inconsistent and the data type is defects u chart should be used
Control limits may be constant, such as X and R charts (for np and c charts), or vary depending on sample size (for p and u charts.)!
29
Copyright 2014, Simplilearn, All rights reserved.
The np chart is used to measure the non-conforming proportions or number of defectives within a
standardized group size. Some of the principles of np chart are as follows:
● The expectation is that the same proportion exists in each group.
● The np chart follows binomial distribution.
● Large subgroups are required (50 minimum) for this chart.
● Subgroup size must be constant, hence there is no need to calculate p and then np to plot data
points on a control chart.
● Control limits will be constant.

● Control Limits = np ± 3√np (1−𝑝 ̅)
where, D = Defectives

The sourcing department at Nutri Worldwide Inc. measures 125 purchase orders daily
and records the number of entry errors in them. The tabulated data is given here. Is
the order entry process in control?
● Since the data has a constant subgroup size (orders processed) of defectives, an np
chart will be used.
● Assumption is that there is only one error per order possible.

● In np chart, point 12 is beyond the control limit of three standard deviations. Analysis must be done to find
the reason and take corrective action if necessary.
● Hence, point 12 is out of control in the process.

The p chart is used to measure the non-conforming proportion or defectives. Principles of np
chart and p chart are quite similar. Some of the principles of the p chart are as follows:
● The expectation is that the same proportion exists in each group.
● The p chart follows binomial distribution.
● The subgroup size should at least be 50, and it does not have to be constant.
● Control limits may vary from subgroup to subgroup based on the subgroup size.

To form a c chart, measure the number of occurrences of non-conforming defects. Some of the
principles of the c chart are as follows:
● It follows a Poisson distribution.
● It is used when the sample size is fixed or the area of opportunity is constant.
● It is also used to identify attribute data for the sample.
● Each count is a subgroup of samples and the control limits will be constant.
● The subgroup size should at least be 20.
c Chart Principles
Control Limits = 𝑐 ± 3√ 𝑐

Final inspection grades the tinted glass on the number of white specs. The
product is priced by grade. White specs are defects, not defectives, and are
measured over a constant sample area; so c chart will be used. Is the process in
control?
● Since the data is for defects, c chart will be used.

● Points 2, 3, 4, 12, 13, 16, and 17 are out of control in this process; additionally, points 7, 9, 18, and 19 break
rule #4.
● In this c chart, the process is not stable and many points go beyond 3 sigma control levels. Analysis must be
done to find the reason and take corrective action.
● The process is not in control.

The u chart is also used to measure the number of non-conforming defects. Principles of c chart and
u chart are quite similar. Some of the principles of u chart are as follows:
● It follows a Poisson distribution.
● It is used to identify attribute data for the sample.
● It is used to measure defects when the sample size is not fixed.
● Control limits of the process may vary.
● The subgroup size should at least be 20.

The plastics operation counts defects after a “run” which is undetermined in length (once
started, it continues until all material is used). Is the process in control?
● Since the count of defects has a varying area of opportunity and the length of runs is not
constant, u chart will be used.

Control
Topic 2—Control Plan
Copyright 2014, Simplilearn, All rights reserved.
Control plan is a written summary description of the system for controlling a process. A control plan:
● describes actions required to maintain the desired state of the process and minimize process and
product variation;
● evolves and changes with the process and product requirements;
● is also considered a knowledge-transfer document;
● can be created for a process, a step in the process, or even a piece of equipment used in the
process;
● provides a single point of reference for understanding process characteristics, specifications, and
Standard Operation Procedures for the process; and
● enables assignment of responsibility for each activity within the process.
Control Plan and its Uses
44
Copyright 2014, Simplilearn, All rights reserved.
Following are the strategies of a control plan:
● Minimize process tampering
● State the reaction plan to out-of-control conditions
● Signal when Kaizen activities are needed
● Describe training needs for standard operating procedures
● Describe maintenance schedule requirements in case of equipment control plan
Control Plan Strategy
A good control plan should clearly describe what actions are to be taken, when to take them, and whoshould take them, thereby reducing the “fire fighting” syndrome.!
45
Copyright 2014, Simplilearn, All rights reserved.
The elements of control plan are as follows:
● Project purpose and objectives;
● Risk management plan;
● Resource requirements documents;
● Process ownership identification;
● Communication plan recommendation;
● Process stewardship; and
● Financial analysis and results.
Elements of Control Plan
46
Copyright 2014, Simplilearn, All rights reserved.
The elements of response plan are as follows:
Elements of Response Plan
Unstable conditions
Responsibility and ownership
Action plan
Define what
‘unstable’ means for
each Vital x by
performing FMEA.
Describe responsibility
and ownership to take
required actions
whenever any
unstable condition
occurs.
List down the action
steps to mitigate the
unstable conditions.
In the control plan, provide a contact list of technical experts who can be consulted to resolve any issues that may occur.!
47
Copyright 2014, Simplilearn, All rights reserved.
Some of the actions that can be taken to fix and prevent the issues are:
Corrective and Preventive Actions
Containment
Fix the problem until the root cause is
identified
Correction
Fix the problem after identifying the root
cause
Prevention
Make the process mistake-proof by
eliminating the recurring issues
Corrective actions
Preventive action

Cost-Benefit Analysis
Start-up fees, training, tools, processes, etc.
Time, lost production, potential risk, etc.
Direct profits, increased production capabilities, etc.
Decreased production time, increased reliability and durability, etc.
Cost-Benefit Analysis
Understand Costs Identify Benefits
Monetary Cost Non-Monetary Cost Monetary Benefit Non-Monetary
Benefit
Cost-benefit analysis is used to evaluate the total anticipated cost of a project compared to the total
expected benefits, to determine whether the proposed implementation is worthwhile for a company
or project team.
To perform cost-benefit analysis, all the identified costs are subtracted from the expected benefits, to determine whether the positive benefits outweigh the negative costs.!
49
Copyright 2014, Simplilearn, All rights reserved.
What to Control
Key Performance Input Variable (KPIV)
● The x factors are called KPIV.
● A control plan controls the KPIV.
● A control plan controls the inputs.
Key Performance Output Variable (KPOV)
● The output Y is called KPOV.
● A control plan ensures the desired state for the
KPOV.
● A control plan monitors the output.
It is important to define what needs to be controlled to define a strong control plan.
Process = f (x1, x2, x3…) = Y
Monitoring the output alone is not an effective way to control a process and will not result in in an efficient process. Both the input and output variables need to be monitored and controlled closely.!
50
Copyright 2014, Simplilearn, All rights reserved.
The KPIVs or the inputs to the process can be identified using various sources, such as:
● Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
● Cause-and-Effect Matrix or Diagram and Cause Verification Matrix
● Multi-Vari Studies
● Regression Analysis
● Design of Experiments (DOE)
Identifying KPIVs
51
Copyright 2014, Simplilearn, All rights reserved.
Developing and executing control plans require the use of the following tools:
Control Plan Tools
Control Charts
● Useful for tracking process statistics over time and detecting the presence of special causes
MSA
● A technique that identifies measurement error (variation) and sources of that error in order to reduce the variation
Error Proofing
● Also known as Poka-Yoke
● Refers to implementation of fail-safe mechanisms within a process to prevent it from creating defects
SOP
● Also known as Standard Operating Procedures
● Is a written document or instruction that details all the steps and activities of a process or procedure
● Also known as Preventive Maintenance
● Inclusion of Preventive Maintenance as part of the documented scheduled process or equipment maintenance
PM
52
Copyright 2014, Simplilearn, All rights reserved.
After understanding the process, a multi-functional team must be formed that will be responsible for
controlling the process. Multiple tools can be used such as:
● FMEA
● Special characteristics (critical and significant)
● Control plans or lessons learned from similar parts or processes
● Technical documentation
● Validation plan results
● Optimization methods
● Team knowledge of the process
Developing a Control Plan
53
Copyright 2014, Simplilearn, All rights reserved.
The questions that need to be asked to define the control plan are as follows:
Developing a Control Plan (contd.)
● What do you want to control?
● How often do you need to measure the process?
● Do you have an effective measurement system?
● What is the cost of sampling?
● How much shift can you tolerate?
● Who needs to see the data?
● What type of tool or chart is necessary?
● Who will generate the data?
● Who will control the process?
● What are the system requirements for auditing and maintenance?
54
Copyright 2014, Simplilearn, All rights reserved.
It is important to identify the level of control that should be built into the process.

CuSum Chart
The Cumulative Sum Control or CuSum chart incorporates all the information by plotting the
cumulative sums of the deviations of the sample values from the target value.
The CuSum chart is used for detecting small shifts, monitoring process mean, defects, and variance.

Exponentially Weighted Moving Average charts are used for:
● Plotting the data to detect small shifts over a small period of time, and
● Monitoring process mean or variance.
‘Exponentially’ in EWMA refers to more weight on the more recent observations and less weight on
the old observations.
This chart is frequently used in Stock Modeling Software Packages by the analysts who predict the
next day performance based on the previous week’s or month’s performance.

The design parameters of the EWMA chart are L and .
● In general, 0.05 < < 0.25
● L = 3 when, has larger value
● 2.6 < L < 2.8 when, 0.1
EWMA is superior to the CuSum for larger shifts, particularly if > 0.1

● Statistical process control aids in visual monitoring of the process and controlling its
parameters by placing statistical measures around the process outputs or input variables.
● Control charts are useful for tracking process statistics over time and detecting the
presence of special causes.
● A good control plan should clearly describe what actions are to be taken, when to take
them, and who should take them, thereby reduce the fire fighting syndrome.
● After understanding the process, a multi-functional team must be formed who will be
responsible for controlling the process. Multiple tools and techniques can be used.
● Visual factory is a term used to describe a Lean production environment where charts
and signs are used to display information.
● The 5S in Lean Six sigma stands for Seiri/Sort, Seiton/Simplify, Seiso/Sweep,
Seiketsu/Standardize, and Shitsuke/Sustain.
