Overview • Variation • Control charts • R charts • X-bar charts • P charts
Statistical Quality Control (SPC) • Measures performance of a process • Primary tool - statistics • Involves collecting, organizing, & interpreting data • Used to: • Control the process as products are produced • Inspect samples of finished products
Bottling Company • Machine automatically fills a 20 oz bottle. • Problem with filling too much? Problems with filling to little? • So Monday the average is 20.2 ounces. • Tuesday the average is 19.6 ounces. • Is this normal? Do we need to be concerned? • Wed is 19.4 ounces.
Natural Variation • Machine can not fill every bottle exactly the same amount – close but not exactly.
Assignable variation • A cause for part of the variation
SPC • Objective: provide statistical signal when assignable causes of variation are present
Control Chart Types Continuous Numerical Data Categorical or Discrete Numerical Data Control Charts Variables Attributes Charts Charts R P C X Chart Chart Chart Chart
Measuring quality Attributes • Characteristics for which you focus on defects • Classify products as either ‘good’ or ‘bad’, or count # defects • e.g., radio works or not • Categorical or discrete random variables Variables • Characteristics that you measure, e.g., weight, length • May be in whole or in fractional numbers • Continuous random variables
Control Chart Purposes • Show changes in data pattern • e.g., trends • Make corrections before process is out of control • Show causes of changes in data • Assignable causes • Data outside control limits or trend in data • Natural causes • Random variations around average
Steps to Follow When Using Control Charts TO SET CONTROL CHART LIMITS • Collect 20-25 samples of n=4 or n=5 a stable process • compute the mean of each sample. • Calculate control limits • Compute the overall means • Calculate the upper and lower control limits.
Steps to Follow When Using Control Charts - continued TO MONITOR PROCESS USING THE CONTROL CHARTS: • Collect and graph data • Graph the sample means and ranges on their respective control charts • Determine whether they fall outside the acceptable limits. • Investigate points or patterns that indicate the process is out of control. Assign causes for the variations. • Collect additional samples and revalidate the control limits.
R Chart • Monitors variability in process • Variables control chart • Interval or ratio scaled numerical data • Shows sample ranges over time • Difference between smallest & largest values in inspection sample
