 Pareto Diagram

1. What is Pareto diagram ?

A Pareto diagram is a combination of bar and

line graphs of accumulated data, where data
associated with a problem:
 A defect found
Mechanical failure
Complaint from a customer
These are divided into smaller groups by
cause.

 Stratification

1. What is Stratification ?

Stratification means to “divide the whole into

smaller portions according to certain criteria.” In
case of quality control, stratification generally
means to divide data into several groups
according to common factors or tendencies (e.g.,
type of defect and cause of defect).

 Scatter Diagram

1. What is Scatter Diagram ?

A scatter diagram is used to “examine the

relationship between the two, paired,
interrelated data types, ” such as “height and
weight of a person.” A scatter diagram
provides a means to find whether or not
these two data types are interrelated. It is
also utilized to determine how closely they
are related to identify a problem point that
should be controlled or improved.

 Cause & Effect Diagram

1. What is Cause & effect Diagram ?

A cause and effect diagram is “a fish-bone diagram

that presents a systematic representation of the
relationship between the effect and affecting
factors.

15
 Cause & Effect Diagram
2. When is it used and what results will be obtained?

A cause and effect diagram is mainly

used to study the cause of a certain
matter. As mentioned above, the use of
a cause and effect diagram allows
clarification of causal relation for
efficient problem solving. It is also
effective in assessing measures
developed and can be applied to other
fields according to your needs.

1. What is Histogram ?

Histograms are used to chart the frequency

of occurrence.
How often does something happen?
Frequency distribution diagrams

19
 Histogram
2. When is it used and what results will be obtained?

A histogram is mainly used to analyze a

process by examining the location of the
mean value in the graph or degree of
variations, to find a problem point that
needs to be improved.

 Flowchart

 Flowcharts are pictorial representations

of a processes. By braking the
processes down into its constituent
steps, flowcharts can be useful in
identifying where errors are likely to
be found in the system.

 Check Sheet
1. What is Check sheet ?

A check sheet is “a sheet designed in advance to

allow easy collection and aggregation of data.” By
just entering check marks on a check sheet, data
can be collected to extract necessary information,
or a thorough inspection can be performed in an
efficient manner, eliminating a possibility of
skipping any of the required inspection items.
A check sheet is also effective in performing
stratification (categorization).

2. When is it used and what results will be obtained?

It is frequently used in daily business

operations, often not specifically for
QC purposes.

 Control Chart

1. What is Control Chart ?

A control chart is used to examine a process to see if

it is stable or to maintain the stability of a process.
This method is often used to analyze a process. To
do so, a chart is created from data collected for a
certain period of time, and dots plotted on the chart
are examined to see how they are distributed or if they
are within the established control limit. After some
actions are taken to control and standardize various
factors, this method is also used to examine if a
process is stabilized by these actions, and if so, to
keep the process in a stable state.

Control Chart for Managerial Purposes: Extends the line indicating the control limit used for
analytical purposes to plot data obtained daily to keep a process in a good state.

Control Chart for Analytical Purposes: Examines a process if it is in a controlled state by

collecting data for a certain period of time. If the process is not controlled, a survey is
performed to identify its cause and develop countermeasures.

Management’s Role
 Summary 1-2
 The tools listed above are ideally utilized in
a particular methodology, which typically
involves either reducing the process
variability or identifying specific problems in
the processes. However, other methodologies
may need to be developed to allow for
sufficient customization to a certain specific
process. In any case, the tools should be
utilized to ensure that all attempts at process
improvement include.
05/17/24 34
 Summary 2-2
 Furthermore, it is important to more
that the mere use of quality control
tools does not necessarily constitutes a
quality program. Thus, to achieve
lasting improvements in quality, it is
essential to establish a system that will
continuously promote quality in all
aspects of its operation.
