Process or Product Monitoring and Control Univariate and Multivariate Control Charts What are Variables Control Charts? During the 1920's, Dr. Walter A. Shewhart proposed a general model for control charts as follows: Shewhart Control Charts for variables Let w be a sample statistic that measures some continuously varying quality characteristic of interest (e.g., thickness), and suppose that the mean of w is w , with a standard deviation of w . Then the center line, the UCL and the LCL are UCL = w k w Center Line = w LCL = w k w where k is the distance of the control limits from the center line, expressed in terms of standard deviation units. When k is set to 3, we speak of 3-sigma control charts. Historically, k = 3 has become an accepted standard in industry The centerline is the process mean, which in general is unknown. We replace it with a target or the average of all the data. The quantity that we plot is the sample average, . The chart is called the chart. We also have to deal with the fact that is, in general, unknown. Here we replace

Process or Product Monitoring and Control Introduction How did Statistical Quality Control Begin? Historical perspective Quality Control has been with us for a long time. How long? It is safe to say that when manufacturing began and competition accompanied manufacturing, consumers would compare and choose the most attractive product (barring a monopoly of course). If manufacturer A discovered that manufacturer B's profits soared, the former tried to improve his/her offerings, probably by improving the quality of the output, and/or lowering the price. Improvement of quality did not necessarily stop with the product - but also included the process used for making the product. The process was held in high esteem, as manifested by the medieval guilds of the Middle Ages. These guilds mandated long periods of training for apprentices, and those who were aiming to become master craftsmen had to demonstrate evidence of their ability. Such procedures were, in general, aimed at the maintenance and improvement of the quality of the process. In modern times we have professional societies, governmental regulatory bodies such as the Food and Drug Administration, factory inspection, etc., aimed at assuring the quality of products sold to consumers.

WORLD VIEW: A New Department in Quality Progress Quality Progress , the monthly refereed journal of the American Society for Quality (ASQ), has a bimonthly department called “World View” devoted to international aspects of quality and productivity improvement. We are looking for authors to write short articles (approximately 1,500 words) on quality improvement initiatives around the world. This could include descriptions of professional organizations, national initiatives, training programs, or successful improvement projects. This is an opportunity for quality professionals outside the United States to showcase improvement activities to a worldwide audience. The modern quality revolution, and the industrial revolution that preceded it, developed from an international exchange of ideas. Walter Shewhart acknowledged the contributions of German authors. Deming took Shewhart s ideas (and some of his own) to Japan in 1950. At that time, many Japanese executives visited the United States to learn the secrets of U.S. productivity. By the early 1980s, however, the flow of visitors had reversed, with many U.S. executives visiting Japan to learn the secrets of Japanese quality. Today, quality improvement initiatives have touched virtually every aspect of human existence in all parts of the world.

48. Tutorial Software For The Shewhart Chart walter shewhart developed the statistical control chart in 1924. This chart is however often referred to as LeveyJennings chart in clinical chemistry. http://www.multiqc.com/shewhart.htm

Tutorial Software for the Shewhart's Chart Walter Shewhart introduced the "control chart" as a tool for distinguishing between assignable-cause and chance-cause variation in manufacturing processes. This Shewhart's chart is presently widely used to monitor the stability of analytical processes in clinical chemistry laboratories where it has been renamed "Levey-Jennings" chart. This animated tutorial software shows how to build and use such a quality control chart. Program features You may play around in the program : - Change the control limits (2 in-control ARLs available). - Create a bias in the QC data. - Increase the coefficient of variation of QC data to simulate a decreased precision. - Change the speed of the animation. - And see how many out-of-control red points appear on the charts or read the observed average run length (ARL). Click on the picture to enlarge Downloading You may use this program freely . It is particularly suited for teaching QC through a video projector. This program works with Windows 95/98/NT4/2K/ME/XP (There is no Mac version). To download the tutorial program, click on

49. Continuous Improvement W. Edwards Deming worked as walter shewhart s assistant and protégé and helped further develop this radical approach to improving quality. http://www.lmu.ac.uk/lis/imgtserv/tools/contimp.htm

Continuous Improvement Continuous improvement is not a tool or technique as such - more a way of life (or at least a cultural approach to quality improvement) - and the concept of continuous improvement has to be set in the context of 'the quality movement'. 'Quality' as a business issue - in the way we know it now - arose with labour specialisation, mass production and automation techniques - techniques which moved away from the traditonal expert craftsman approach to quality. In the new world of 'factories' and mass production, quality was obtained by inspecting each part and passing only those that met specifications. This was true until 1931 when Walter A. Shewhart, a statistician at the Hawthorne plant at Western Electric published his book Economic Control of Quality of Manufactured Product (Van Nostrand, 1931). This book is the foundation of modern statistical process control (SPC) and provides the basis for the philosophy of total quality management or continuous process improvement for improving processes. With statistical process control, quality inspection of each individual part produced is no longer used - the process is monitored through sampling. Dependent on the results from the sample, adjustments are made to the process to ensure 'quality' production.

Z S Sample: In acceptance sampling, one or more units of product (or a quantity of material) drawn from a lot for purposes of inspection to reach a decision regarding acceptance of the lot. Sample size: [n] The number of units in a sample. Sample standard deviation chart (S chart): A control chart in which the subgroup standard deviation, s, is used to evaluate the stability of the variability within a process. Sampling at random: As commonly used in acceptance sampling theory, the process of selecting sample units so all units under consideration have the same probability of being selected. Note: Actually, equal probabilities are not necessary for random samplingwhat is necessary is that the probability of selection be ascertainable. However, the stated properties of published sampling tables are based on the assumption of random sampling with equal probabilities. An acceptable method of random selection with equal probabilities is the use of a table of random numbers in a standard manner. Sampling, double:

Several individuals played key roles in the development, implementation, and dissemination of this new approach to managing an organization. Although they may have previously labored with little recognition for their contributions, since 1980 the contributions of quality management pioneers have become appreciated throughout the world. The common thrust behind the teachings of each of these quality gurus is the concept of continuous improvement. Although their approaches differ in technique, emphasis, and application, the objective is the same-continuous improvement of every output, whether it be a product or a service, by removing unwanted variation and by improving the underlying work processes.

Articles: The Three Careers of W. Edwards Deming July 16, 1995 Siam News The Three Careers of W. Edwards Deming By Michael J. Tortorella W. Edwards Deming, the modest but outspoken man who died of cancer on December 20, 1993, was one of the world's best-known advocates for quality. He bestrode the management consulting world with a deep conviction that the solutions to our problems would be simple it we would only turn from the comfortable but ineffective attitudes of the past and embrace the concept of minimization of variation (along with all its very unfamiliar ramifications). Deming was born 0ctober 14, 1900, in Sioux Falls, Iowa, and grew up in Powell, Wyoming. Much has been made of the influence of his frontier upbringing on his beliefs in the importance of people, the value of cooperation, and the deadliness of waste. Whatever their source, there is no doubt that these values shaped his life and work and caused him to be the bearer of a message that many of the world's religious leaders, philosophers, and advocates of positive thinking would find familiar. Do your best, continually seek to improve that best, look out for the people you are responsible for, and recognize that everyone is in this together.
