UCL LCL Statistical Process Control • Take periodic samples from process • Plot sample points on control chart • Determine if process is within limits • Prevent quality problems
Variation • Common Causes • Variation inherent in a process • Can be eliminated only through improvements in the system • Special Causes • Variation due to identifiable factors • Can be modified through operator or management action
Types of Data • Attribute data • Product characteristic evaluated with a discrete choice • Good/bad, yes/no • Variable data • Product characteristic that can be measured • Length, size, weight, height, time, velocity
SPC Applied to Services • Nature of defect is different in services • Service defect is a failure to meet customer requirements • Monitor times, customer satisfaction
Service Quality Examples • Hospitals • Timeliness, responsiveness, accuracy of lab tests • Grocery Stores • Check-out time, stocking, cleanliness • Airlines • Luggage handling, waiting times, courtesy • Fast food restaurants • Waiting times, food quality, cleanliness, employee courtesy
Service Quality Examples • Catalog-order companies • Order accuracy, operator knowledge and courtesy, packaging, delivery time, phone order waiting time • Insurance companies • Billing accuracy, timeliness of claims processing, agent availability and response time
Control Charts • Graph establishing process control limits • Charts for variables • Mean (x-bar), Range (R) • Chart for attributes • P Chart
Out of control Upper control limit Process average Lower control limit 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Sample number Process Control Chart Figure 15.1
A Process is In Control if No sample points outside limits Most points near process average About equal number of points above & below centerline Points appear randomly distributed
Development of Control Chart • Based on in-control data • If non-random causes present, find the special cause and discard data • Correct control chart limits
Control Chart for Attributes • p Charts • Calculate percent defectives in sample
UCL = p + zp LCL = p - zp where z = the number of standard deviations from the process average p = the sample proportion defective; an estimate of the process average p = the standard deviation of the sample proportion p(1 - p) n p = p-Chart

Control Chart Z Values • Smaller Z values make more sensitive charts • Z = 3.00 is standard • Compromise between sensitivity and errors

Using x- and R-Charts Together • Each measures the process differently • Both process average and variability must be in control
Sample Size Determination • Attribute control charts • 50 to 100 parts in a sample • Variable control charts • 2 to 10 parts in a sample
Process Capability • Process limits (The “Voice of the Process” or The “Voice of the Data”) - based on natural (common cause) variation • Tolerance limits (The “Voice of the Customer”) – customer requirements • Process Capability – A measure of how “capable” the process is to meet customer requirements; compares process limits to tolerance limits
Process Capability • Range of natural variability in process • Measured with control charts. • Process cannot meet specifications if natural variability exceeds tolerances • 3-sigma quality • Specifications equal the process control limits. • 6-sigma quality • Specifications twice as large as control limits
Design Specifications (a) Natural variation exceeds design specifications; process is not capable of meeting specifications all the time. Process Design Specifications (b) Design specifications and natural variation the same; process is capable of meeting specifications most the time. Process Process Capability Figure 15.5
Design Specifications (c) Design specifications greater than natural variation; process is capable of always conforming to specifications. Process Design Specifications (d) Specifications greater than natural variation, but process off center; capable but some output will not meet upper specification.
