TM 620: Quality Management
Session Eight – 23 November 2010
• Control Charts, Part II– Attributes– Special Cases
Shewhart’s Assumptions
• The data generated by the process when it is in control:– Are normally distributed– Are independent– Have a mean and standard deviation that are
fixed and unknown
Data on Quality Characteristics
• Attribute data– Discrete– Often a count of some type
• Variable data– Continuous– Often a measurement, such as length,
voltage, or viscosity

Names for Abnormalities
• Variable data– Defective
• Attribute data– Nonconforming– Does the item meet the requirements on one
or more quality characteristics
Charts for Attributes
• Fraction nonconforming (p-chart)– Fixed sample size– Variable sample size
• np-chart for number nonconforming
• Charts for defects– c-chart– u-chart
Fraction Nonconforming
• The ratio of the number of nonconforming items in a population to the total number of items in the population– These items may have several quality
characteristics simultaneously inspected

Example; P-Chart
• Operators of a sorting machine must read the zip code on a letter and diver the letter to the proper carrier route. Over one month’s time, 25 samples of 100 letters were chosen, and the number of errors was recorded. Error counts for each of the 25 days follows.

CUSUM Chart
• X-bar, R charts work well to detect significant shifts in the mean (1.5 - 2.0)
• However, suppose we wish to detect smaller shifts in the process
• Consider a piston ring process with target value at 10.0 cm.– First 10 sampled at normal with = 10– Second 10 sampled at normal with = 11– Control limits computed at LCL = 7, UCL = 13

Questions to Ask When Implementing Control Charts
• Which process characteristics to control• Where the charts should be implemented in the
process• What is the proper type of control chart for your
process• What mechanisms are there to take action
based on the analysis of the control charts• What data collection systems and computer
software should be used
Control Chart Design Issues
• Basis for sampling
• Sample size
• Frequency of sampling
• Location of control limits
SPC Implementation Requirements
• Top management commitment
• Project champion
• Initial workable project
• Employee education and training
• Accurate measurement system
Example: Catalog Company
• A catalog distributer ships a variety of orders each day. The packing slips often contain errors such as wrong purchase order numbers, wrong quantities, or incorrect sizes. The data on the next slide was collected during the month of August.
• What type of chart should you use to analyze this data?

Example: Silicon Wafer Production
• The thickness of silicon wafers used in the production of semiconductors must be carefully controlled. The tolerance of one such product is specified as ±0.0050 inches. In one production facility, three wafers were selected each hour and the thickness measured carefully to within one ten-thousandth of an inch.

Example: Orange Juice
• Frozen orange juice concentrate is packed in 6-oz. cardboard cans. These cans are formed on a machine by spinning them from cardboard stock and attaching a metal bottom panel. By inspection of a can, we may determine whether, when filled, it could possibly leak either on the side seam or around the bottom joint. Thirty samples of fifty cans each were selected at half-hour intervals over a three shift period in which the machine was in continuous operation.
