Welcome to MM305 Unit 8 Seminar Prof Greg Statistical Quality Control Defining Quality and TQM • “Even though quality cannot be defined, you know what it is.” R.M. Pirsig • Total quality management (TQM) refers to a quality emphasis that encompasses the entire organization from supplier to customer • Meeting the customer’s expectations requires an emphasis on TQM if the firm is to complete as a leader in world markets Statistical Process Control • Statistical process control involves establishing and monitoring standards, making measurements, and taking corrective action as a product or service is being produced • Samples of process output are examined. If they fall outside certain specific ranges, the process is stopped and the assignable cause is located and removed • A control chart is a graphical presentation of data over time and shows upper and lower limits of the process we want to control. Control Charts for Variables The x-chart (mean) and R-chart (range) are the control charts used for processes that are measured in continuous units The x-chart tells us when changes have occurred in the central tendency of the process The R-chart tells us when there has been a change in the uniformity of the process Both charts must be used when monitoring variables QM for Windows: Quality Control—x-bar and R charts Space Shuttle Widgets Let's assume that we are manufacturing widgets and our widgets are used in precision engineered parts for the space shuttle. Each of our widgets is required to be 1 inch in diameter. Each hour, random samples of 4 widgets are measured to check the process control. Four hourly observations are recorded below. Sample 1 2 3 4 Widget 1 .98 1.01 .99 1.02 Is our process in control? Widget 2 .99 1.0 1.02 1.02 Widget 3 1.03 .99 1.01 .98 Widget 4 .97 1.0 .99 1.01 QM for Windows – Xbar Charts Please note that this process produced both the Mean (x-bar) and Range (r) chart. X-Bar Chart Control Charts for Attributes • We need a different type of chart to measure attributes • These attributes are often classified as defective or non-defective • There are two kinds of attribute control charts 1. Charts that measure the percent defective in a sample are called p-charts 2. Charts that count the number of defects in a sample are called c-charts p-Charts If the sample size is large enough a normal distribution can be used to calculate the control limits UCLp p z p LCLp p z p where p = mean proportion or fraction defective in the sample z = number of standard deviations p = standard deviation of the sampling distribution which is estimated by ˆ p(1 p) p n where n is the size of each sample QM for Windows: Quality Control; p-Charts ARCO p-Chart Example (page 285) Figure 8.3 reproduced with QM for Windows c-Charts We use c-charts to control the number of defects per unit of output c-charts are based on the Poisson distribution which has its variance equal to its mean The mean is c and the standard deviation is equal to c To compute the control limits we use c3 c QM for Windows: Quality Control; c-Charts Red Top Cab Example (page 287) Red Top Cab Company Chart QM for Windows : Xbar and R Charts Data Lettuce 1 2 3 4 Day 1.2 1.3 0.9 1.3 Swing 0.6 1.0 1.1 0.9 Night 1.3 0.8 1.2 1.4 QM for Windows : p Chart iPod manufacturer: Usually we get 2% defective units Took random sample of 50, found 3 defective. Create p-chart to find UCL and LCL Out of Control?? Here is where you take the defectives from the sample – 3 of 50 or 6% or 0,06 and see if it falls between UCL and LCL. If it is, then the process is in control, otherwise it is not. The UCL is 0.08 and the LCL is 0, therefore 0.06 is between them and the process is in control.
