PROBLEM SOLVING METHODLOGY - 7 Q.C. TOOLS


CAUSE EFFECT DIAGRAM WHAT IS IT? The Fishbone Diagram (also known as the Cause & Effect Diagram) is a technique to graphically identify and organize many possible Causes of a problem (effect). WHY IS IT USEFUL? Fishbone Diagrams help identify the most likely ROOT CAUSES of a problem. They can also help teach a team to reach a common understanding of the problem. This tool can help focus problem solving and reduce subjective decision making. WHEN IS IT USED? When the need exists to display and explore many possible causes of a specific problem or condition. This diagram allows the team to systematically analyze cause & effect relationships. It can also help with the identification of ROOT CAUSES.

PROBLEM SOLVING METHODLOGY - 7 Q.C. TOOLS


CAUSE EFFECT DIAGRAM HOW IS IT DONE? Name the effect; determine the specific problem to be analyzed. Draw the diagram with a process arrow to the effect and draw a box around it. Decide what the major categories of the causes are (i.e., people, machines, measurement, materials, methods, environment, policies, etc.). Label categories important to your situation. Make it work for you. Brainstorm all possible causes and label each cause under the appropriate category. Post the diagram where others can add causes to it (i.e., experts, affected people, process owners, etc..). Analyze causes and eliminate trivial and/or frivolous ideas.

PROBLEM SOLVING METHODLOGY - 7 Q.C. TOOLS


CAUSE EFFECT DIAGRAM Rank causes and circle the most likely ones for further consideration and study. Investigate the circled causes. Use other techniques to gather data and prioritize findings. GUIDELINES Try not to go beyond the span of control of the group. Promote participation by everyone concerned. Keep chart up to date so it can be used throughout the improvement cycle.

HISTOGRAM Benefits: Allows you to understand at a glance the variation that exists in a process The shape of the histogram will show process behavior Often, it will tell you to dig deeper for otherwise unseen causes of variation. The shape and size of the dispersion will help identify otherwise hidden sources of variation Used to determine the capability of a process Starting point for the improvement process

PROBLEM SOLVING METHODLOGY - 7 Q.C. TOOLS


HISTOGRAM -

TYPES OF HISTOGRAMS The shape that your histogram takes tells a lot about your process. Often, it ill tell you to dig deeper for otherwise unseen causes of variation. The symmetrical or bell-shaped type of histogram: The mean value is in the middle of the range of data. The frequency is high in the middle of the range and falls off fairly evenly to the right and left. This shape occurs most often.

PROBLEM SOLVING METHODLOGY - 7 Q.C. TOOLS


HISTOGRAM The comb or multi-modal type of histogram: Adjacent classes alternate higher and lower in frequency. This usually indicates a data collection problem. The problem may lie in how a characteristic was measured or how values were rounded. It could also indicate an error in the calculation of class boundaries.

PROBLEM SOLVING METHODLOGY - 7 Q.C. TOOLS


HISTOGRAM If the distribution of frequencies is shifted noticeably to either side of the center of the range, the distribution is said to be skewed. When the histogram is positively skewed The mean value is to the left of the center of the range, and the frequency decreases abruptly to the left but gently to the right. This shape normally occurs when the lower limit, the one on the Left, is controlled either by specification or because values lower than a certain value do not occur for some other reason.

PROBLEM SOLVING METHODLOGY - 7 Q.C. TOOLS


HISTOGRAM If the classes in the center of the distribution have more or less the same frequency, the resulting histogram looks like a plateau. This shape occurs when there is a mixture of two distributions with different mean values blended together. Look for ways to stratify the data to separate the two distributions. You can then produce two separate histograms to more accurately depict what is going on in the process.

PROBLEM SOLVING METHODLOGY - 7 Q.C. TOOLS


HISTOGRAM -

TYPESOFHISTOGRAMS
If two distributions with widely different means are combined in one data set, the plateau splits to become twin peaks. The two separate distributions become much more evident than with the plateau. Examining the data to identify the two different distributions will help you understand how variation is entering the process.

PROBLEM SOLVING METHODLOGY - 7 Q.C. TOOLS


HISTOGRAM If there is a small, essentially disconnected peak along with a normal, symmetrical peak, this is called an isolated-peak histogram. It occurs when there is a small amount of data from a different distribution included in the data set. This could also represent a short-term process abnormality, a measurement error or a data collection problem.

ISOLATEDPEAKS

PROBLEM SOLVING METHODLOGY - 7 Q.C. TOOLS


HISTOGRAM -

If specification limits are involved in your process, the histogram is an especially valuable indicator for corrective action. The histogram shows that the process is centered between the limits with a good margin on either side. Maintaining the process is all that is needed.

PROBLEM SOLVING METHODLOGY - 7 Q.C. TOOLS


HISTOGRAM -

When the process is centered but with no margin, it is a good idea to work at reducing the variation in the process since even a slight shift in the process center will produce defective material.

PROBLEM SOLVING METHODLOGY - 7 Q.C. TOOLS


HISTOGRAM -

A process that would have produced material within specification limits if it were centered is shifted to the left. Action must be taken to bring the mean closer to the center of the specification limits.

PROBLEM SOLVING METHODLOGY - 7 Q.C. TOOLS


HISTOGRAM -

A histogram that shows a process that has too much variation to meet specifications no matter how it is centered. Action must be taken to reduce variation in this process.

PROBLEM SOLVING METHODLOGY - 7 Q.C. TOOLS


HISTOGRAM -

A process that is both shifted, in this case to the right, and has too much variation. Action is necessary to both center the process and reduce variation.

Conclusion: A histogram is a picture of the statistical variation in your process. Not only can histograms help you know which processes need improvement, they can also help you track that improvement.

SCATTER DIAGRAM Purpose: To identify the correlations that might exist between a quality characteristic and a factor that might be driving it. A scatter diagram shows the correlation between two variables in a process. These variables could be a Critical To Quality (CTQ) characteristic and a factor affecting it two factors affecting a CTQ or two related quality characteristics. Dots representing data points are scattered on the Diagram. The extent to which the dots cluster together in a line across the diagram shows the strength with which the two factors are related.

PROBLEM SOLVING METHODLOGY - 7 Q.C. TOOLS


SCATTER DIAGRAM How is it done?: Decide which paired factors you want to examine. Both factors must be measurable on some incremental linear scale. Collect 30 to 100 paired data points. Find the highest and lowest value for both variables. Draw the vertical (y) and horizontal (x) axes of a graph. Plot the data Title the diagram

The shape that the cluster of dots takes will tell you something about the relationship between the two variables that you tested.

SCATTER DIAGRAM If the variables are correlated, when one changes the other probably also changes. Dots that look like they are trying to form a line are strongly correlated. Sometimes the scatter plot may show little correlation when all the data are considered at once. 9 Stratifying the data, that is, breaking it into two or more groups based on some difference such as the equipment used, the time of day, some variation in materials or differences in the people involved, may show surprising results

SCATTER DIAGRAM You may occasionally get scatter diagrams that look boomerang- or banana-shaped. 9To analyze the strength of the correlation, divide the scatter plot into two sections. 9Treat each half separately in your analysis Benefits: Helps identify and test probable causes. By knowing which elements of your process are related and how they are related, you will know what to control or what to vary to affect a quality characteristic.

CONTROL CHARTS Every process varies. If you write your name ten times, your signatures will all be similar, but no two signatures will be exactly alike. There is an inherent variation, but it varies between predictable limits. If, as you are signing your name, someone bumps your elbow, you get an unusual variation due to what is called a "special cause". If you are cutting diamonds, and someone bumps your elbow the special cause elbow, can be expensive. For many, many processes, it is important to notice special causes of variation as soon as they occur. There's also "common cause" variation. Consider a baseball pitcher. If he has good control, most of his pitches are going to be where he wants them. There will be some variation, but not too much. If he is "wild", his pitches aren't going where he wants them; there's more variation. There may not be any special causes - no wind, no change in the ball - just more "common cause" variation. The result: more walks are issued, and there are unintended fat pitches o t o e the plate he e batters can hit them In baseball control ins out over where batters them. baseball, control wins ballgames. Likewise, in most processes, reducing common cause variation saves money.

CONTROL CHARTS Proposed by W.A. Shewhart in 1924 A control chart consists of a center line, a pair of control limits, one each allocated above and below the center line, the characteristic values plotted on the chart representing the state of the process Chance cause variation by chance cause is unavoidable and inevitably occurs in a process. It is not possible to eliminate chance cause practically and economically Assignable cause -Variation by assignable cause means that there are meaningful factors to be investigated. It is avoidable and cannot be overlooked.

CONTROL CHARTS Types of control charts X R chart used for controlling and analyzing a process using continuous values of product quality variable quality characteristics. X bar represent average of sub group and R range of the subgroup. X chart when data is obtained after long intervals or subgroup of data is not effective. R can not be obtained. The moving range R of successive data is used for calculation of control limits. Pn chart, p chart These charts are used when the quality characteristic is represented by number of defective units or fraction defective. For a sample of constant size, pn chart of number of defective units is used, whereas a p chart of the fraction defect9ive is used for a sample of varying size C chart, u chart - These are used for controlling and analyzing a process by defects of a product, such as scratches on plated metal, number of defective soldering inside or unevenly woven texture of fabrics. A c chart of the number of defects is used for product of constant size, while a u chart is used for product of varying size

CONTROL CHARTS Things to look for: The point of making control charts is to look at variation, seeking special causes and tracking common causes. Special causes can be spotted using several tests: 1 data point falling outside the control limits 6 or more points in a row steadily increasing or decreasing 8 or more points in a row on one side of the centerline 14 or more points alternating up and down In those charts that pair two charts together, you will want to look for these anomalies in both charts The simplest interpretation of the control chart is to use only the first test listed. The others may indeed be useful (and there are more not listed here), but be mindful that, as you apply more tests, your chances of making Type I errors, i.e. getting false positives, go up significantly.

CONTROL CHARTS Basic Control Charts interpretation rules: Specials are any points above the UCL or below the LCL A Run violation is seven or more consecutive points above or below the center (20-25 plot points) A trend violation is any upward or downward movement of five or more consecutive points or drifts of seven or more points (10-20 plot points) A 1-in-20 violation is more than one point in twenty consecutive points close to the center line
