Statistical Quality Control - Basic Concepts
  • Quality begins with customer requirements
  • Quality must be designed in. It cannot be
    inspected
  • in!
  • Quality depends on
  • Parts selection and procurement
  • Material
  • Manufacturing/production processes
  • Logistic processes
  • .

Statistical Quality Control - What is quality?
  • Quality is meeting the customers needs over the
  • life cycle of the product at the best value to
    the
  • customer
  • Quality has many dimensions
  • Reliability
  • Maintainability
  • Performance
  • Durability
  • Conformance (to requirements and
  • expectations)
  • .

7
Obstacles to Quality Improvement
  • Making it happen
  • - 99 agree that management is the problem
  • not the workers
  • - 35 of the problem is not invented here
  • syndrome
  • getting their attention and education
  • resistance to change
  • - 15 gaining management commitment
  • - 14 communication
  • getting the word out within the company
  • Failure of management to understand variation

Statistical Process Control - Definition
The application of statistical techniques is
to understand and analyze the variation in a
process. - Joseph Juran Quality Control
Handbook
13
The Situation
In many situations, our knowledge is limited to
the information that can be obtained from data
that has been obtained or that will be obtained
14
The Problem
The challenge is to obtain the maximum
information from the data and to arrive at the
most accurate conclusions
15
Nature of Data
  • Most data are characterized by variation, as
    opposed
  • to deterministic, due to variation in
  • Processes and materials
  • Product/Manufacturing
  • Inspection Measurement
  • Operation
  • Environment
  • etc

16
Need
  • Methods and techniques are needed for analysis of
  • data that account for
  • Variation in the data
  • Uncertainty in conclusion

17
Statistics
  • Statistics is the science of analyzing data and
  • drawing conclusions
  • Statistical methods and techniques that provide
  • tools for
  • - experimental design
  • - analysis of data
  • - making inferences

18
Statistical Process Control (SPC)
  • SPC is a powerful collection of problem-solving
  • tools useful in achieving process stability and
  • improving capability through the reduction of
  • variability.
  • SPC can be applied to any process
  • Seven major tools
  • 1. Histogram or stem and leaf display
  • 2. Check sheet
  • 3. Pareto chart
  • 4. Cause and effect diagram
  • 5. Defect concentration diagram
  • 6. Scatter diagram
  • 7. Control chart

19
Statistical Process Control
Causes of Variation Assignable (special) -
Intermittent sources of variation that are
unpredictable. Signaled by violation of Western
Electric rules Common (natural) - Sources of
variation always present affecting all output
from a process Only management can affect
common causes of variation
20
Statistical Process Control - Histograms
  • Histograms - Questions to ask
  • What is the shape of distribution?
  • What would you expect shape to be?
  • If computer generated, is data really normal?
  • Is variation acceptable?
  • Is the centering acceptable?
  • Did you generate a histogram with and without
  • outlier points?
  • Did you include specification limits and process
  • limits on the histogram?

21

22
Statistical Process Control - Histograms
  • The shape shows the nature of the distribution of
    the data
  • The central tendency (average) and variability
    are easily seen
  • Specification limits can be used to display the
    capability of the process

24
Process Capability
Refers to the uniformity of the
process. Variability in the process is a measure
of the uniformity of the output. -
Instantaneous variability is the natural
or inherent variability at a specified time -
Variability over time
25
Process Capability
A critical performance measure that
addresses process results relative to
process/product specifications. A capable
process is one for which the process outputs meet
or exceed expectation.
26
Measures of Process Capability
Customary to use the six sigma spread in
the distribution of the product quality
characteristic
27
Key Points
  • The proportion of the process output that will
    fall
  • outside the natural tolerance limits.
  • Is 0.27 (or 2700 nonconforming parts per
    million)
  • if the distribution is normal
  • May differ considerably from 0.27 if the
  • distribution is not normal

Statistical Process Flow Diagram
  • Expresses detailed knowledge of the process
  • Identifies process flow and interaction among the
    process steps
  • Identifies potential control points

100 80 60 40 20 0
Number of occurrences
Cumulative percent
  • Identifies the most significant problems to be
    worked first
  • Historically 80 of the problems are due to 20
    of the factors
  • Shows the vital few

36
Statistical Process Control - Scatter Plot
  • Identifies the relationship between two variables
  • A positive, negative, or no relationship can be
    easily detected

37
Background of Six Sigma
  • Six Sigma is a business initiative first
    espoused by
  • Motorola in the early 1990s.
  • Six Sigma strategy involves the use of
    statistical
  • tools within a structured methodology for
    gaining
  • the knowledge needed to achieve better, faster,
    and less expensive products and services than
    the competition.
  • A Six Sigma initiative in a company is designed
  • to change the culture through breakthrough
  • improvement by focusing on out-of-the-box
  • thinking in order to achieve aggressive, stretch
    goals.

38
Motorolas Six Sigma Ten Steps
1. Prioritize opportunities for
improvement 2. Select the appropriate
team 3. Describe the total process 4. Perform
measurement system analysis 5. Identify and
describe the potential critical
process 6. Isolate and verify the critical
processes 7. Perform process and measurement
system capability studies 8. Implement optimum
operating conditions and control
methodology 9. Monitor processes over
time/continuous improvement 10. Reduce common
cause variation toward achieving six sigma

Variability Reduction
  • Variability reduction is a modern concept of
    design
  • and manufacturing excellence
  • Reducing variability around the target value
    leads
  • to better performing, more uniform, defect-free
  • product
  • Virtually eliminates rework and waste
  • Consistent with continuous improvement concept

Dont just conform to specifications
Reduce variability around the target

44
True Impact of Product Variability
  • Sources of loss
  • - scrap
  • - rework
  • - warranty obligations
  • - decline of reputation
  • - forfeiture of market share
  • Loss function - dollar loss due to deviation of
  • product from ideal characteristic
  • Loss characteristic is continuous - not a step
  • function.

Caution
For a normal distribution, the natural tolerance
limits include 99.73 of the variable, or put
another way, only 0.27 of the process output
will fall outside the natural tolerance limits.
Two points should be remembered 1. 0.27
outside the natural tolerances sounds small,
but this corresponds to 2700 nonconforming
parts per million. 2. If the distribution of
process output is non normal, then the
percentage of output falling outside ? ? 3? may
differ considerably from 0.27.
51
Normal Distribution - Example
The diameter of a metal shaft used in a
disk-drive unit is normally distributed with mean
0.2508 inches and standard deviation 0.0005
inches. The specifications on the shaft have been
established as 0.2500 ? 0.0015 inches. We wish
to determine what fraction of the shafts produced
conform to specifications.

53
Normal Distribution - Example Solution
Thus, we would expect the process yield to be
approximately 91.92 that is, about 91.92 of
the shafts produced conform to specifications.
Note that almost all of the nonconforming shafts
are too large, because the process mean is
located very near to the upper specification
limit. Suppose we can recenter the manufacturing
process, perhaps by adjusting the machine, so
that the process mean is exactly equal to the
nominal value of 0.2500. Then we have

Normal Distribution - Example
Using a normal probability distribution as a
model for a quality characteristic with the
specification limits at three standard
deviations on either side of the mean. Now it
turns out that in this situation the probability
of producing a product within these
specifications is 0.9973, which corresponds to
2700 parts per million (ppm) defective. This is
referred to as three-sigma quality performance,
and it actually sounds pretty good. However,
suppose we have a product that consists of an
assembly of 100 components or parts and all 100
parts must be non-defective for the product to
function satisfactorily.
60
Normal Distribution - Example
The probability that any specific unit of
product is non-defective is 0.9973 x 0.9973 x .
. . x 0.9973 (0.9973)100 0.7631 That
is, about 23.7 of the products produced
under three sigma quality will be defective. This
is not an acceptable situation, because many high
technology products are made up of thousands of
components. An automobile has about 200,000
components and an airplane has several million!
61
Weibull Distribution - Example
The random variable X can modeled by a Weibull
distribution with ? ½ and ? 1000. The spec
time limit is set at x 4000. What is the
proportion of items not meeting spec?
62
Weibull Distribution - Example
The fraction of items not meeting spec is
That is, all but about 13.53 of the items will
not meet spec.
63
Statistical Process Control - Control Charts
Interpretation based on Western Electric
rules 1. Analyze the chart by separating it into
equal zones above and below the centerline
64
Statistical Process Control - Control Charts
2. A process is out of statistical control
if (a) any point is above or below the control
limits (b) two out of three points in a row in
zone A or above (c) four out of five
points in a row in zone B or above (d)
eight in a row in zone C or above
65
Statistical Process Control - Control Charts
  • In general specification limits should not be on
  • control charts
  • Data must be displayed in time sequence
  • Management controls the natural variation
    between
  • the control limits
  • Do not tweak the process
