Walter A. Shewhart- The Father of Statistical Process Control 2


Brief

One of the most notable contributors to modern industry is Walter 
Shewhart, a quality control pioneer. He started his rise to guru status 
as a Bell Telephone employee in 1918. Born in New Canton, Illinois in 
1891, Shewhart set precedents that would be referenced for years to 
come in establishing the importance of information distribution among 
quality managers and production personnel.

Co

In 1918 Shewhart joined the Western Electric Company to assist their 

engineers in improving the quality of telephone hardware. Western Electric 
produced hardware for the Bell Telephone Company, which became the 
American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T). The Western 
Electric Company manufactured telephone equipment for them and since 
1905 its major plant was the Hawthorne Plant in Cicero, a suburb of 
Chicago. The company and its factory grew rapidly with the need for 
telephones. By 1913 there were 14000 employees and by 1930 there were 
43000. It was one of the largest manufacturing plants in the country. 
Shewart worked at Hawthorne until 1925 when he moved to the Bell 
Telephone Research Laboratories where he remained until his retirement in 
1956.

Shewhart,
Juran &
Deming

While at Hawthorne, Shewhart met and influenced W Edwards 
Deming who went on to champion Shewhart's methods. Joseph Juran 
also worked at Hawthorne from 1924 to 1941 and was influenced by 
Shewhart. Shewhart, Deming, and Juran are often considered to be 
the three founders of the quality improvement movement.

Achievements
& Honors

In his obituary for the American Statistical Association, Deming wrote of Shewhart:
“As a man, he was gentle, genteel, never ruffled, never off his dignity. He knew 
disappointment and frustration, through failure of many writers in mathematical 
statistics to understand his point of view.”
He was founding editor of the Wiley Series in Mathematical Statistics, a role that he 
maintained for twenty years, always championing freedom of speech and confident 
to publish views at variance with his own.

Works

He gave concepts for following:

1.PDCA Cycle
2.Statistical  Process Control
3.Six Sigma

Walter A. Shewhart- The Father of Statistical Process Control 8


PDCA Cycle

The concept of the PDCA Cycle was originally developed by Walter 
Shewhart, the pioneering statistician who developed statistical process 
control in the Bell Laboratories in the US during the 1930's. It is often 
referred to as `the Shewhart Cycle'. It was taken up and promoted very 
effectively from the 1950s on by the famous Quality Management 
authority, W. Edwards Deming, and is consequently known by many as 
`the Deming Wheel'.

Walter A. Shewhart- The Father of Statistical Process Control 9


PDCA Cycle-
Uses

PDCA Cycle is used to coordinate your continuous improvement efforts. It 
both emphasizes and demonstrates that improvement programs must start 
with careful planning, must result in effective action, and must move on 
again to careful planning in a continuous cycle.
The PDCA Cycle diagram is also used in team meetings to take stock of 
what stage improvement initiatives are at, and to choose the appropriate 
tools to see each stage through to successful completion.

Walter A. Shewhart- The Father of Statistical Process Control 10


Plan-Do-
Check-Act

Four stages of the Cycle:
1.Plan to improve your operations first by 
finding out what things are going 
wrong (that is identify the problems 
faced), and come up with ideas for 
solving these problems.
2.Do changes designed to solve the 
problems on a small or experimental 
scale first. This minimises disruption 
to routine activity while testing 
whether the changes will work or not.

Walter A. Shewhart- The Father of Statistical Process Control 11


Plan-Do-
Check-Act

3. Check whether the small scale or experimental changes are achieving the 
desired result or not. Also, continuously Check nominated key activities 
(regardless of any experimentation going on) to ensure that you know what the 
quality of the output is at all times to identify any new problems when they crop 
up.

4. Act to implement changes on a larger scale if the experiment is successful. 
This means making the changes a routine part of your activity. Also Act to involve 
other persons (other departments, suppliers, or customers) affected by the 
changes and whose cooperation you need to implement them on a larger scale, 
or those who may simply benefit from what you have learned (you may, of course, 
already have involved these people in the Do or trial stage).

Walter A. Shewhart- The Father of Statistical Process Control 12


Tools and techniques which can be used to 
PDCA Cycle complete each stage of the PDCA Cycle.

Walter A. Shewhart- The Father of Statistical Process Control 13


Statistical
Process
Control (SPC)

Walter A. Shewhart defined control as follows:
 
"A phenomenon will be said to be controlled when, through the use 
of past experience, we can predict, at least within limits, how the 
phenomenon may be expected to vary in the future. Here it is understood 
that prediction within limits means that we can state, at least 
approximately, the probability that the observed phenomenon will fall 
within the given limits."
 
This definition means that control is not equivalent to a complete absence 
of variation but rather that the system is in a state where variation 
is predictable within some fixed limit.
Walter A. Shewhart- The Father of Statistical Process Control 14
Statistical
Process
Control (SPC)

Shewhart also realized that frequent process-adjustment in reaction to 
non-conformance actually increased variation and degraded quality. 
That's why he expressed the fundamental rule of statistical process 
control in this way:
 
"Variation from common-cause systems should be left to chance, 
but special causes of variation should be identified and eliminated."

Where to use
Control
Charts

•Process has a tendency to go out of control
•Process is particularly harmful and costly if it goes out of control
•Examples
–at the beginning of a process because it is a waste of time and 
money to begin production process with bad supplies
–before a costly or irreversible point, after which product is difficult to 
rework or correct
–before and after assembly or painting operations that might cover 
defects
–before the outgoing final product or service is delivered

specification or do not confirm to specification
•When an attribute does not confirm to specification, diff. descriptive 
terms are used.
•A nonconformity is a departure of a quality characteristic from its 
product or service not to meet the specification requirement.

The c-Chart monitors the number of times a condition occurs, relative to a 
constant sample size. In this case, a given sample can have more than one 
instance of the condition, in which case we count all the times it occurs in the 
sample. For our example, we would sample a set number of transactions each 
month from all the transactions that occurred, and from this sample count the 
total number of errors in all the transactions. We would then track on the control 
chart the number of errors in all the sampled transactions per month.

Shewhart & Six 
Sigma

Selected aspects of the work of Shewhart and 
Deming can be compared with 
a common element of various six-sigma 
programs.

Walter A. Shewhart- The Father of Statistical Process Control 53


Shewhart & Six 
Sigma

• Shewhart explains in the opening paragraph of Statistical Method:
• “Corresponding to these three steps there are three senses in 
which statistical control [i.e. process behavior charts] may play an 
important part in attaining uniformity in the quality of manufactured 
product: 
• (a) as a concept of a statistical state constituting a limit to which 
one may hope to go in improving the uniformity of quality; 
• (b) as an operation or technique of attaining uniformity; and
• (c) as a judgment.”

Walter A. Shewhart- The Father of Statistical Process Control 54


Shewhart & Six 
Sigma

• The three-sigma limits of a process behavior chart 
characterize the potential of your process. They define 
what a predictable process will do, and they 
approximate what an unpredictable process can be 
made to do.

Publications

•The Bell Telephone Laboratories were founded in 1925 and Shewhart 
moved to them when the Laboratories opened and worked there until his 
retirement in 1956. 
•He expanded his interests to a broader use of statistics over this period. 
During this period he published many articles papers in the Bell System 
Technical Journal. 
•In addition, he published Random sampling in the American Mathematical 
Monthly in 1931. In 1939 he published the important book Statistical 
Method from the Viewpoint of Quality Control.

Societies

Shewhart  was a founder of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, being elected 
a fellow and serving a term as vice-president in 1936 and president from 1936 to 
1944. He was also a founder of the American Society for Quality Control. 
He was elected to a fellowship of the American Statistical Association, of the 
International Statistical Institute, and of the Royal Statistical Society. He was also 
elected to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (serving on 
the council during 1942-49), the Econometric Society, and the New York 
Academy of Science. He served a term as president of the American Statistical 
Association in 1945, and was awarded the Holley medal of the American Society 
of Mechanical Engineers in 1954. The Indian Statistical Institute in Calcutta 
awarded him an honorary doctorate.

Shewhart
Medal

The Shewhart Medal is awarded for technical leadership: “The Shewhart 
Medal committee may designate, not more often than once each year, 
that nominee, not previously so designated, who is deemed by it to have 
demonstrated the most outstanding technical leadership in the field of 
modern quality control, especially through the development to its theory, 
principles, and techniques...”(ASQ bylaws)
The Society made him their first honorary member in 1947 and also 
made him the first to receive their Shewhart Medal.

Shewhart’s
visit to India

The ISI also played a pioneering role in starting the Statistical Quality 
Control (SQC) movement in India by organising a visit of Professor W.A. 
Shewhart, the father of SQC, to India in November 1947
