Where to Inspect in the Process
• Raw materials and purchased parts
• Finished products
• Before a costly operation
• Before an irreversible process
• Before a covering process

Centralized vs. On-site
• Environmental requirements of the inspection equipment
• Are the advantages of centralized inspection enough to offset the disruption caused by moving products to the inspection point

• Statistical Process Control: Statistical evaluation of the output of a process during production

Statistical Process Control
• The Control Process– Define the characteristic to be controlled– Measure– Compare to a standard– Evaluate– Take corrective action– Evaluate corrective action

Quality Control
Statistical Process Control
• Variations and Control– Random variation: Natural variations in the
output of process, created by countless minor factors
– Assignable variation: A variation whose source can be identified
• A process is in control when there are no assignable variations, all variations are random

Control Chart for Attributes
• p-Chart - Control chart used to monitor the proportion of defectives in a process
• c-Chart - Control chart used to monitor the number of defects per unit
10-19
McGraw-Hill/IrwinOperations Management, Seventh Edition, by William J. StevensonCopyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
Quality Control
Use of p-Charts
• When observations can be placed into two categories.– Good or bad
– Pass or fail
– Operate or don’t operate
• When the data consists of multiple samples of several observations each

McGraw-Hill/IrwinOperations Management, Seventh Edition, by William J. StevensonCopyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
Quality Control
Use of c-Charts
• Use only when the number of occurrences per unit of measure can be counted; non-occurrences cannot be counted.– Scratches, chips, dents, or errors per item– Cracks or faults per unit of distance– Breaks or Tears per unit of area– Bacteria or pollutants per unit of volume– Calls, complaints, failures per unit of time
