Quality
A subjective term for which each person has his or her own
definition. In technical usage, quality can have two
meanings:
1. The characteristics of a product or service that bear on its
ability to satisfy stated or implied needs.
2. A product or service free from deficiencies.
3. 3
Can also be termed as
‘A measure of
excellence’

Meaning of “Quality”
6. 6
Many people think that quality costs money and adversely
effects profits. But these costs are the costs of doing it wrong
first time .
Quality in the long run results in
increased profitability.
Quality, Cost & Profit relationship
Cost
9. 9
1.Higher production due to
improved cycle time and
reduced errors and defects
2.Increased use of machine
and resources.
3.Improved material use from
reduced scrap and rejects
4.Increased use of personnel
resources
5.Lower level of asset
investments required to
support operations.
6.Lower service and support
costs for eliminated waste,
rework and non value added
activities.
QUALITY Higher productivity Increased
profitability
due to :
•Larger sales
•Lower production costs
•Faster turnover

Quality and Profit
If the organization does not offer high
quality product or service , it will soon go
out of business . But just having high
quality will not be enough , because your
competitors will also have the high quality.
To win , companies will need to
offer high quality for a lower price
than their competitors.This requires
organizations to identify and reduce their
quality costs

Check sheets are formats used to collect and organize
data
Data can be collected easily and concisely
Data data is collected on the characteristic of interest.
The right data could be captured with all necessary facts
included e.g.
as when it happened ?
how many ?
what customer ?

Based on “80/20” rule (or ABC analysis)
Pareto(V.Pareto,an Italian economist) discovered this universal
law-80% of anything is attributed to 20% of its causes 80% of the
wealth is held by 20% of the population.
• 80% of our income goes into 20% of our needs.
• 80% of road accidents occur on 20% of the road.
• 80% of the absenteeism in a company is due to 20% of
workmen
“Significant few & in-significant many”
PARETO CHART
28. 28
PARETO CHART
Pareto analysis begins by ranking problems from highest to
lowest in order to fix priority
The cumulative number of problems is plotted on the vertical
axis of the graph against the cause/phenomenon
Pareto by Causes e.g. Man,Machine,Method etc
Pareto by Phenomenon e.g.Quality,Cost,Delivery
Tells about the relative sizes of problems indicates an
important message about biggest few problems, if corrected,
a large % of total problems will be solved

CAUSE n EFFECT (FISH BONE) DIAGRAM
This diagram (resembles skeleton of a fish) helps to separate out
causes from effects and to see problem in its totality
It’s a systematic arrangement of all possible causes,generated
thru’ brain storming
This can be used to :
Assist individual / group to see full picture.
Serve as a recording device for ideas generated.
Reveal undetected relationships between causes.
Discover the origin/root cause of a problem
Create a document or a map of a problem which can be posted in the work
area.

SCATTER DIAGRAM
The scatter diagram is used for identifying the relationships and
performing preliminary analysis of relationship between any two
quality characteristics.
Clustering of points indicate that the two characteristics may be
related e.g.
Increasing in component weight with increase in hold time
during plastic injection molding ( + ve co-relation)
Increase in toughness components with decreasing injection
pressure (-ve co-relation) during molding
36. DEFECT CONCENTRATION DIAGRAM
This is used to understand the potential defect prone area of
the parts produced
The “Concentration Diagram” check sheet carries the diagram
of the problematic part,defects whenever observed to be
updated in the same using tally marks
Based on the distribution of defects countermeasures are
taken at process/system level
This tool is very useful to solve problems like Scratch,
Dent,Breakage thru’ handling improvement
For plastic molded parts this tool is used to identify stress
points,weak joints,effect of gate shape/position on the quality
of parts etc.

38. Control Chart
Quality control charts, are graphs on which the
quality of the product is plotted as manufacturing or
servicing is actually proceeding.
It graphically, represents the output of the process
and uses statistical limits and patterns of plot, for
decision making
Enables corrective actions to be taken at the earliest
possible moment and avoiding unnecessary
corrections.
The charts help to ensure the manufacture of uniform
product or providing consistent services which
complies with the specification.

41. Interpreting Control Chart
The control chart gets divided in three zones.
Zone - 1 If the plotted point falls in this zone, do not
make any adjustment, continue with the process.
Zone - 2 If the plotted point falls in this zone then
special cause may be present. Be careful watch for
plotting of another sample(s).
Zone - 3 If the plotted point falls in this zone then
special cause has crept into the system, and corrective
action is required.

53. Summary of Effect of Process Shift
When there is no shift in the process nearly all the
observations fall within -3 s and + 3 s.
When there is small shift in the mean of process some
observations fall outside original -3 s and +3 s zone.
Chances of an observation falling outside original -3 s
and + 3 s zone increases with the increase in the shift of
process mean.
86
54. Our Conclusion from Normal Distribution
When an observation falls within original +3 s and -3 s
zone of mean of a process, we conclude that there is no shift
in the mean of process. This is so because falling of an
observation between these limits is a chance.
When an observation falls beyond original +3 s and -3 s
zone of process mean, we conclude that there is shift in
location of the process
87
55. Interpreting Control Chart
Because the basis for control chart theory follows the normal
distribution, the same rules that governs the normal distribution
are used to interpret the control charts.
These rules include:
- Randomness.
- Symmetry about the centre of the distribution.
- 99.73% of the population lies between - 3 s of and + 3 s the centre
line.
- 95.4% population lies between -2 s and + 2 s of the centre line.
88
56. Interpreting Control Chart
If the process output follows these rules, the process
is said to be stable or in control with only common
causes of variation present.
If it fails to follow these rules, it may be out of
control with special causes of variation present.
These special causes must be found and corrected.
