What is quality?
The definition of quality depends on
the role of the people defining it.
Most consumers have a difficult time
defining quality, but they know it
when they see it.
There
is
no
single
definition of quality.

universal

Popular Definition of Quality


given by various quality gurus.
1."Fitness for use"; "product performance
freedom from deficiencies" (Juran)

and

2."Conformance to requirements not goodness"


(Crosby)
3."Quality should be aimed at the needs of the
customer, present and future" (Deming)
4."Meeting or exceeding customer expectations at a
cost that represents value to them" (Harrington)
5."Degree of excellence" (Webster's Third New
International Dictionary)
8

Contd
6. Quality is what the customer says
it is. (Fegenbaum)
7. The totality of features and
characteristics of a product or
service that bears on its ability to
satisfy stated or implied needs British Standard (BS4778).
9

Quality with the role of


the people defining it
For engineers it is conformance to
specifications.
For users it is fitness for use.
For marketing it is the degree of
excellence at an acceptable price that
will influence the market share.
For customer service a quality product
is that with less customer complaint.
10

Discussion

What common element do the


above definitions have?

11

Comprehensive Definition of
Quality
Product or service which fulfils an
aggregate
requirement
of
customers, in all aspects, at present
and in the future and which
customers can buy it.

12

Comprehensive
Definition of Quality

Exceeding Customers
Expectation
Thus the closer this conformation indicates the higher
the degree of quality.

What is this little boy doing?


Do you know where he is going?
Can you see where he is going?
Do you know what could happen if he
falls in the water?
Have you got the big picture in mind?
With anything that one does in life you
start with the end in mind.
You decide what you want to achieve
and then you decide how you will
work towards achieving it. This is
what management is.

The Development of Quality


Management
Inspection - determining as acceptable or
unacceptable.
Quality control - determines the cause for
variations.
Example
Since variations in raw materials have large
effects on the quality of in-process materials ,
quality control includes statistical sampling
and testing before acceptance.
52

Quality control (QC)


Quality control (QC) includes the activities from
the suppliers, through production, and to the
customers.
Incoming materials are examined to make sure
they meet the appropriate specifications.
The quality of partially completed products are
analyzed to determine if production processes are
functioning properly.
Finished goods and services are studied to
determine if they meet customer expectations.

Question
As control becomes effective , the need for
inspection:
1. Decreases or increases?
2. Why?

Decreases b/c quality control is concerned


with making things right rather than
discovering and rejecting those made
wrong.
55

Quality Assurance
Involves prevention of quality problems through
planning and systematic action.
Includes the whole production and distribution
system starting from the supply of raw materials
through the internal management to the
customer.

QUALITY CONTROL
TECHNIQUES

71

Statistical Process Control (SPC) Tools


The key process monitoring and investigating
tools include:
1. Histograms,
2. Check sheets,
3. Pareto charts,
4. Cause and effect diagrams,
5. Scatter diagrams, and
6. Control charts.
7. Defect concentration.
72

Histogram
The histogram is a bar chart showing a
distribution of variables.
This tool helps identify the cause of
problems in a process by shape of the
distribution as well as the width of the
distribution.

2. Check Sheet
A check sheet is a paper form on which items to
be checked have been printed already so that
data can be collected easily and concisely.
Its main purposes are:
To make data-gathering easy
To arrange data automatically so that they can
be used easily later on.

Pareto Analysis
Pareto (80/20 principle)

Vital few defects


Trivial many defects

The Vital Few and Trivial Many Rule

77

Named after Vilfredo Pareto


-an Italian economist
He observed in 1906 that 20%
of the Italian population owned
80% of Italy's wealth
He then noticed that 20% of the
pea pods in his garden
accounted for 80% of his pea
crop each year
78

The Pareto Principle


A small number of causes is responsible for a
large percentage of the effect-usually a 20-percent to 80-percent ratio.
This basic principle translates well into quality
problems - most quality problems result from a
small number of causes.
You can apply this ratio to almost anything,
from the science of management to the physical
world

4. Cause-and-Effect Diagram
A Cause-and-Effect Diagram is a tool that
helps identify, sort, and display possible
causes of a specific problem or quality
characteristic.
The diagram graphically illustrates the
relationship between a given outcome and all
the factors that influence the outcome.
85

Cause-and-Effect

(contd)

It is used when we need to:


Identify the possible root causes, the basic
reasons, for a

specific effect, problem, or

condition.
Sort out and relate some of the interactions
among the factors affecting a particular
process or effect.
Analyze existing problems so that corrective
action can be taken.

Scatter Diagram

The scatter diagram is a technique used to


study the relation of two corresponding variables.
The two variables deal with are:
1.A quality characteristic and a factor
affecting it,
2.Two related quality characteristics, or
3.Two factors relating to a single quality
characteristic.

Question
The
famous
quality
teacher
W.Edward Deming once said:
If I have to reduce my massage to
management to just a few words I
will say it all had to do with
reducing variation.
What does that mean?
99

Variation
There is no two natural items in any
category are the same.
Variation may be quite large or very
small.
If variation very small, it may appear
that items are identical, but precision
instruments will show differences.

100

Chance and Assignable Causes


of Quality Variation
A process that is operating with only
chance causes of variation present is said
to be in statistical control.
A process that is operating in the
presence of assignable causes is said to
be out of control.
The eventual goal of SPC is reduction or
elimination of variability in the process by
identification of assignable causes.
101

Statistical Basis of the Control


Chart
Basic Principles

The control chart is a graph used to study how


a process changes over time.
A typical control chart has control limits set at
values such that if the process is in control,
nearly all points will lie between the upper
control limit (UCL) and the lower control limit
(LCL).
104

Statistical Basis of the Control


Chart

In - Control

Out of Control

105

Statistical Basis of the Control


Chart
Out-of-Control Situations

If at least one point plots beyond the


control limits, the process is out of
control.
If the points behave in a systematic
or nonrandom manner, then the
process could be out of control.
106

Statistical Basis of the Control


Chart
We have a process that we assume the true
process mean is = 74 and the process
standard deviation is = 0.01.
Samples of size 5 are taken giving a standard
deviation of the sample average, x , as

0.01
x

0.0045
n
5
107

Statistical Basis of the Control


Chart
Control limits can be set at 3
standard deviations from the mean.
This results in 3-Sigma Control
Limits
UCL = 74 + 3(0.0045) = 74.0135
CL= 74
LCL = 74 - 3(0.0045) = 73.9865
108

Statistical Basis of the Control


Chart

109

Important uses of the control


chart
Routine and attentive use of control charts will
identify assignable causes. If these causes can
be eliminated from the process, variability will
be reduced and the process will be improved.
The control chart only detects assignable
causes.
Management, operator,
and
engineering action will be necessary to
eliminate the assignable causes.
Out-of-control action plans (OCAPs) are an
important aspect of successful control chart
usage.

110

Types the control chart


1. Variables Control Charts
These charts are applied to data that follow
a continuous distribution (measurement
data).
Example : length, weight,
temperature or time.

volume,

pressure,

2. Attributes Control Charts


These charts are applied to data that follow
a discrete distribution.
Example : good/bad, conforming/non-conforming,
or acceptable/not acceptable.
111

112

Popularity of control charts


1. Control charts are a proven technique for
improving productivity.
2. Control charts are effective in defect
prevention.
3. Control charts prevent unnecessary process
adjustment.
4. Control charts provide diagnostic information.
5. Control charts provide information about
process capability.
113

Choice of Control Limits


General model of a control chart

UCL W L W
Center Line W
LCL W L W
where L = distance of the control limit from
the center line
W
= mean of the sample statistic, w.
W
= standard deviation of the statistic, w.
114

Choice of Control Limits


99.7% of the Data

If approximately 99.7% of the data lies


within 3
of the mean (i.e., 99.7% of
the data should lie within the control
limits), then 1 - 0.997 = 0.003 or 0.3%
of the data can fall outside 3 (or 0.3% of
the data lies outside the control limits).
(Actually, we should use the more exact
value 0.0027)

115

Choice of Control Limits


Three-Sigma Limits

The use of 3-sigma limits generally gives


good results in practice.
If the distribution of the quality
characteristic
is
reasonably
well
approximated by the normal distribution,
then the use of 3-sigma limits is
applicable.
These limits are often referred to as
action limits.
116

Choice of Control Limits


Warning Limits on Control Charts

Warning limits (if used) are typically set at 2


standard deviations from the mean.
If one or more points fall between the warning
limits and the control limits, or close to the warning
limits the process may not be operating properly.
Good thing: warning limits often increase the
sensitivity of the control chart.
Bad thing: warning limits could result in an
increased risk of false alarms.

117

Sample Size and Sampling


Frequency
In designing a control chart, both
the sample size to be selected and
the frequency of selection must be
specified.
Larger samples make it easier to
detect small shifts in the process.
Current practice tends to favor
smaller, more frequent samples.
118

Control Charts For Variables

119

Introduction
Variable - a single quality characteristic
that can be measured on a numerical
scale.

When working with variables, we


should monitor both the mean value of
the characteristic and the variability
associated with the characteristic.
120

Control charts for

variables

X-bar chart
In this chart the sample means are plotted in order
to control the mean value of a variable (e.g., size
of piston rings, strength of materials, etc.).

R chart
In this chart, the sample ranges are plotted in
order to control the variability of a variable.

S chart
In this chart, the sample standard deviations are
plotted in order to control the variability of a
variable.

S2 chart
In this chart, the sample variances are plotted in
order to control the variability of a variable.
121

Control Charts for

x and R

Notation for variables control charts


n - size of the sample (sometimes called a
subgroup) chosen at a point in time
m - number of samples selected
x i = average of the observations in the ith
sample (where i = 1, 2, ..., m)
x
= grand average or average of the
averages (this value is used as the center
line of the control chart)

122

Control Charts for x and R


Notation and values
Ri = range of the values in the ith sample
Ri = xmax - xmin
R = average range for all m samples

Trial Control Limits


The control limits obtained from the above equations
should be treated as trial control limits.
If this process is in control for the m samples
collected, then the system was in control in the past.
If all points plot inside the control limits and no
systematic behavior is identified, then the process
was in control in the past, and the trial control limits
are suitable for controlling current or future
production.

137

Control Charts for

x and R

Trial control limits and the out-of-control


process
If points plot out of control, then the control limits
must be revised.
Before revising, identify out of control points and
look for assignable causes.
If assignable causes can be found, then discard the
point(s) and recalculate the control limits.
If no assignable causes can be found then
1) either discard the point(s) as if an assignable cause had
been found or
2) retain the point(s) considering the trial control limits as
appropriate for current control.

Control Limits, Specification Limits, and


Natural Tolerance Limits
Control limits are functions of the natural
variability of the process
Natural tolerance limits represent the
natural variability of the process (usually
set at 3-sigma from the mean)
Specification limits are determined by
developers/designers.
139

Question
Is
there
a
mathematical
relationship between control limits
and specification limits?

140

Control Charts for

Control Limits, Specification Limits, and


Natural Tolerance Limits
There is no mathematical relationship
between control limits and specification
limits.
Do not plot specification limits on the
charts

Guidelines for the Design of the Control Chart

Specify sample size, control limit width, and


frequency of sampling.
If the main purpose of the x-bar chart is to
detect moderate to large process shifts, then
small sample sizes are sufficient (n = 4, 5, or 6)
If the main purpose of the x-bar chart is to
detect small process shifts, larger sample sizes
are needed (as much as 15 to 25)which is
often impracticalalternative types of control
charts are available for this situation.
143

Control Charts for

x and R

Guidelines for the Design of the Control Chart

If increasing the sample size is not an


option, then sensitizing procedures (such
as warning limits) can be used to detect
small shiftsbut this can result in
increased false alarms.
R chart is insensitive to shifts in process
standard deviation.(the range method
becomes less effective as the sample size
increases) may want to use S or S2 chart
144

Control Charts for x and R


Guidelines for the Design of the Control Chart
Allocating Sampling Effort

Choose a larger sample size and sample


less frequently? or, Choose a smaller
sample size and sample more frequently?
The method to use will depend on the
situation.
In general, small frequent
samples are more desirable.

CONTROL CHARTS FOR


ATTRIBUTES

155

Introduction
Data that can be classified into one of
several categories or classifications is
known as attribute data.
Classifications such as conforming and
nonconforming are commonly used in
quality control.
Another example of attributes data is the
count of defects.

156

Control Charts for Attributes


p chart fraction defective
np chart number defective
c, u charts number of defects

Defect vs. Defective

quality characteristic.
Defective items having one or
more defects.

158

Control Charts for Fraction


Nonconforming
Fraction nonconforming is the ratio of
the number of nonconforming items
in a population to the total number of
items in that population.
Control
charts
for
fraction
nonconforming are based on the
binomial distribution.
159

Control Charts for Fraction


Nonconforming
Recall: A quality characteristic follows a
binomial distribution if:
1. All trials are independent.
2. Each outcome is either a success or
failure.
3. The probability of success on any trial is
given as p. The probability of a failure is
1-p.
4. The probability of a success is constant.

Trial Control Limits
Control limits that are based on a
preliminary set of data can often be
referred to as trial control limits.
The quality characteristic is plotted
against the trial limits, if any points plot
out of control, assignable causes should
be investigated and points removed.
With removal of the points, the limits are
then recalculated.

Design of the Fraction Nonconforming
Control Chart
The sample size can be determined so that a shift of

then n must satisfy:

Interpretation of Points on the Control

Care must be exercised in interpreting
points that plot below the lower control
limit.

They often do not indicate a real improvement


in process quality.
They are frequently caused by errors in the
inspection process or improperly calibrated test
and inspection equipment.

(Defects)
Poisson Distribution

The number of nonconformities in a given area can


be modeled by the Poisson distribution. Let c be
the parameter for a Poisson distribution, then the
mean and variance of the Poisson distribution are
equal to the value c.
The probability of obtaining x nonconformities on a
single inspection unit, when the average number of
nonconformities is some constant, c, is found
using:

Demerit Systems
Demerit Schemes
The following weights are fairly popular in
practice:

Class A-100, Class B - 50, Class C 10, Class D 1

di = 100ciA + 50ciB + 10ciC + ciD


di - the number of demerits in an inspection unit

The Operating-Characteristic
Function
The OC curve (and thus the P(Type II
Error)) can be obtained for the c- and
u-chart using the Poisson distribution.
For the c-chart:

P (xx follows
UCL| ca) Poisson
P ( X distribution
LCL| c )
where
with parameter c (where c is the true
mean number of defects).

193

W Edwards Deming
Regarded by the Japanese as the chief
architect of their industrial success
All processes are vulnerable to loss of
quality through variation: if levels of
variation are managed, they can be
decreased and quality raised
Quality is about people, not products

194

The Deming (PDCA) Cycle


PLAN

ACT

Plan a change to the process. Predict


the effect this change will have and
plan how the effects will be measured

Adopt the change as a


permanent modification
to the process, or
abandon it.

DO

Implement the change


on a small scale and
measure the effects
CHECK

Study the results to


learn what effect the
change had, if any.

195

W Edwards Deming
Core element is the management circle

planning
do/implementation
check/study
action
PDCA (or PISA) cycle

Continuous improvement
teamwork and competence in problem solving
196

W Edwards Deming
Out of the Crisis (1984)
having a satisfied customer is not enough
profit in business comes from
repeat customers
customers that boast about your product and
service
customers that bring friends with them

necessary to anticipate customer needs


197

W Edwards Deming
fourteen points
1 Create constancy of purpose
for continual improvement of products and service
2 Adopt the new philosophy
3 Cease dependence on mass inspection
build quality into the product
4 End lowest tender contract:
require meaningful quality along with price
5 Improve constantly and forever every process
for planning, production and service

198

W Edwards Deming
fourteen points
6 institute modern methods of training on the job
for all, including management
7 adopt and institute leadership
aimed at helping people do a better job
8 drive out fear
encourage effective two-way communication
9 break down barriers
between departments and staff areas
10 eliminate exhortations for the workforce
they only create adversarial relationships
199

W Edwards Deming
fourteen points
11 eliminate quotas and numerical targets
substitute aid and helpful leadership
12 remove barriers to pride of workmanship
including annual appraisals
and management by objectives
13 encourage education and self improvement
for everyone

1979: Quality is Free
Philip Crosby Associates Inc.
1984: Quality without Tears
Do It Right First Time
Zero Defects
204

Philip Crosby
Four absolutes of quality management
Quality is defined as conformance to
requirements, not as goodness or elegance
The system for creating quality is prevention,
not appraisal
The performance standard must be Zero
defects, not thats close enough
The measurement of quality is the Price of
Nonconformance, not indices
205

Philip Crosby
1992: Quality, meaning getting everyone
to do what they have agreed to do and to
do it right first time is the skeletal structure
of an organization, finance is the
nourishment and relationships are the
soul

206

Philip Crosby
Manufacturing companies spend
around 20% of revenue doing things
wrong, then doing them over again
Service companies may spend 35% of
operating expenses in a similar way

207

214

Kaoru Ishikawa
quality does not only mean
the quality of the product,
but also of after sales service,
quality of management,
the company itself
and human life

215

Kaoru Ishikawa (points 1-7 of 15)


product quality is improved and becomes
uniform. Defects are reduced
reliability of goods is improved
cost is reduced
quantity of production is increased,
rational production schedules are possible
wasteful work and rework are reduced
technique is established and improved
inspection and testing costs are reduced
216

Kaoru Ishikawa (points 8-15 of 15)

rational contracts between vendor/vendee


sales market is enlarged
better relationships between departments
false data and reports are reduced
freer, more democratic discussions
smoother operation of meetings
more rational repairs and installation
improved human relations
217

Yoshio Kondo
Human work should include:
creativity
the joy of thinking

physical activity
the joy of working with sweat on the forehead

sociality
the joy of sharing pleasure and pain with
colleagues

ability to do more than their followers,
without interfering when they can do it alone
successes
ability to give the right advice
