  1. Chapter 5 Quality Control

  2. Quality Control Purpose: monitor and maintain quality levels of products/services/processes, and try to improve product/service/process designs in ways that result in better quality products, services, and processes Quality Control Departments: • Traditional focus inspections • Newer focus quality training, improvements, working with suppliers, few inspections

  3. Quality Control Process variation causes a process to be less consistent, resulting in lower quality W. Edwards Deming  2 causes of variation Common causes: normal (typical) variation, inherent to the process, difficult/expensive to reduce; example– a machine is not very accurate because it is old Special causes: due to a specific problem, not inherent to process, usually easy/cheap to fix; example– a machine’s quality level is lower one morning, and after you investigate you discover that operator has hangover To improve quality, identify and fix special causes of variation first (low hanging fruit)

  7. Monitoring Process Quality Run Diagrams useful when starting a process (most likely time for errors) • measure every piece • plot measurements • look for outliers and patterns to investigate • process is in-control if no outliers or patterns (just typical randomness)

  11. Control Charts X chart and R chart • when measuring a variable (e.g., length, weight, volume, viscosity) • assumes normal distribution of sample means • X is the measurement of one unit • X is the mean measurement of one sample • X is the expected value of the measurement • R is the range of one sample (high – low) • R is the expected value of the range

  12. Control Charts p chart • when measurement has only two outcomes (e.g., yes/no, defective/nondefective, good/bad) • assumes binomial distribution • p is fraction or percent of bad parts in a sample • p is the expected value of p

  13. Control Charts c chart • when measuring the total number of defects in a sample • sample size is 2 or more units • assumes Poisson distribution • c is number of defects in a sample • c is the expected value of c

  14. Control Charts u chart • when measuring the number of defects on one unit • sample size is one unit • assumes Poisson distribution • u is number of defects on one unit • u is the expected value of u • only difference between u and c charts is sample size (1 or many)

  15. Control Limits X chart – for sample means Upper control limit (UCL) = X + AR Lower control limit (LCL) = X – AR X = expected value of X (average over many samples) R = expected value of R (average over many samples) A = a constant from Table

  16. Control Limits R chart – for sample ranges UCL = D2R LCL = D1R D1 and D2 are constants from Table

  17. Control Limits p chart – for fraction/percent defectives in sample fractionpercent p = expected fraction/percent defectives in samples n = size of one sample (number of units)

  18. Control Limits c chart – for total number of defects in a sample c = expected number of defects in samples X and R chart example: Suppose a company wants to start using X and R control charts. They have collected 25 samples of 5 units in each sample to estimate X and R.

  19. R R R chart: for n=5 in Table, D1=0 and D2=2.116 R X chart: for n=5 in Table (p.671), A=0.577 X Compute Control Limits UCL,LCL = ± A( ) = = LCL = and UCL = LCL = D1 = UCL = D2 =

  24. p Chart Example Process  placing labels on jeans Label placement is either defective or non-defective. Typically, about 1.5% of labels are considered defective. Compute control limits for a p chart, with sample size = 200. If a sample has 6 bad labels, is this in-control?

  25. c Chart Example Twice a day, Ford takes a sample of 5 cars after the painting operation to count the number of bad spots on the freshly painted surfaces. The typical number of defects per sample is 3.1 bad spots. Compute 3σ control limits.

  26. Good/Bad & Investigate or Not

  27. Guidelines for Determining Which Control Chart to Use • Identify the item or product to be evaluated for quality. • What characteristic is to be measured? • Should every item be checked, or should a random sample be taken? • Is the characteristic measured on a continuous scale? • Is the item either good or bad, or is the number of defects on one item important? • Should the random sample size be one unit, or should it be more than one unit?

  28. Control Chart Examples 1. A local building contractor builds large custom homes. He wants to use a control chart to monitor the number of problems that customers find in the finished homes. What type of control chart should be used? 2. A manufacturer of semiconductors chips plans to use a control chart to monitor the quality of chips they produce. Due to the complexity and density of circuits on each chip, typically 5% to 15% of the chips are faulty, which is about normal for the industry. Faulty chips are returned by customers for a full refund or replacement. What type control chart should be used? 3. A professional proofreader checks manuscript pages for typing errors. What type of control chart should be used to monitor the quality of their proofreading?

  29. Control Chart Examples 4. As cereal boxes are filled in a factory they are weighed for their contents by an automatic scale. The target is to put 10 ounces of cereal in each box. What type of control chart should be used to monitor how well they are achieving their target? 5. What type of control chart should Microsoft use to monitor the quality of their software programmers in developing computer code for assigned portions of larger software products? 6. What type of chart should a business school use to monitor the quality of incoming MBA students based on GMAT scores?
