When we observe which batsmen got the maximum runs we can see that Laxman & Dravid got 461 out of the 657 runs. That is about 70% of the runs. 22% of the 9 batsmen who batted got 70% of the runs!

Pareto

Pareto Vilfredo Pareto was an Italian engineer in the 19th Century who studied the number of people in various income classes & declared 20% of the people own 80% of the countrys wealth; 80% of the people own 20% of the countrys wealth

Pareto

Pareto Principle Pareto principle holds good to the present day in various applications A few causes lead to many defects; many causes lead to few defects. The few causes that lead to many defects are the vital few. The many causes that lead to few defects are the trivial many.

Why pareto ?
To Clearly prioritise the magnitude of the problem. To identify the vital few and trivial many problems. To find 80/20 rule which states that 80% of the problems are created by 20% of the causes.

Brain storming

BRAIN STORMING Brain storming is a technique to obtain creative ideas from a group of persons in a shortest possible time Brain storming plays an important role to build a cause and effect diagram

WHY

To identify the problem - to identify the causes To find solution - to prevent problem

Q7T/PPT- 57

7QC Tools

Brain storming

BRAIN STORMING Brain storming can be conducted in two ways 1. Structured Every person in a group must give an idea as their turn arises. Forces even shy people to participate. Creates a certain amount of pressure to contribute.

Q7T/PPT- 58

7QC Tools

Brain storming

2. Unstructured Group members simply give ideas as they come to mind. Creates more relaxed atmosphere Risks domination. Thumb rule : 5 15 minutes works well

Q7T/PPT- 59

7QC Tools BRAIN STORMING SESSION


Let all the members speak freely and give ideas Encourage wild ideas Quantity rather than Quality ideas Suspend judgment on Good or Bad Ride on anothers ideas Never criticize other persons opinions Never prohibit a person from speaking See the problem from different angles/facets Write down all the viewpoints List the cause/ideas Think of the countermeasures to eliminate the causes

Brain storming

Leader/facilitator need to guide the members in generating ideas Whenever necessary non members can also be involved

WHY WHY Analysis

- Oil leaks from cylinder rod each time it operates. Why Why did it leak? Why was it cut? Why was it scratched? Why did chips get attached? Why is rod praced in that Why no cover? Answer Cut in O-ring. Rod has scratch. Chip was scattered and attached on rod. Cylinder is located within scattering range of chips. Rod cover is not placed. Defective design and installation Action Disassemble leaking part. Replace O-ring. Remove scratch. Take measure to prevent chips from scattering Change cylinder position Install cover.

Guidelines
Special effort should be made to identify as many causes as possible The ideal method to identify as many causes as possible would be by brainstorming with the team members. All the ideas/causes suggested by members during the brainstorming session should be noted however insignificant they may initially appear. Brainstorming is a session specially meant for free flow of ideas.

Histogram is an important diagnostic tool which gives a Birds eye-view of the variation in a data set. It is nothing but a frequency distribution chart. It shows the distribution of data

Q7T/PPT- 112

7QC Tools

Histogram

In quality control, we try to discover facts by collecting data & then take necessary action based on those facts. The data is not collected as an end in itself, but as a means of finding out the facts behind the data.

Data FACTS

Q7T/PPT- 113

7QC Tools

Histogram

For example, consider a sampling inspection. We take a sample from a lot, carry out measurements on it, and then decide whether we should accept the whole lot or not. Here our concern is not the sample itself, but the quality of the whole lot. The totality of items under consideration is called the population.

Q7T/PPT- 114

7QC Tools

Histogram

The data obtained from a sample serves as a basis for a decision on the population. The larger the sample size is, the more information we get about the population. But an increase of sample size also means an increase in the amount of data

Q7T/PPT- 115

7QC Tools

Histogram

It becomes difficult to understand the population from these data even when they are arranged into tables. In such a case we need a method which will enable us to understand the population at a glance. A histogram answers our needs.

Histogram

What is histogram ?
Histogram shows a bar chart of accumulated data and provides the easiest way to evaluate the distribution of data . The horizontal axis shows the values of the characteristics, with the region between the largest value and smallest value being broken into several smaller spaces. The sizes of the vertical bars reflects the number of data that fall into these spaces.

STEP 6

Divide the value of class boundary

For simple determination of class boundaries, take the smallest individual measurement in the data set. Use this number or round to the next appropriate lowest number. This will be lower end point for our first class boundary. In our example this would be 9.0. Now take this number and add the class width to it, 9.00 + 0.20. But it is essential to fix class boundaries in such way that every observed reading will fit in to one and only class. Therefore, we may choose the class boundaries with one decimal place more than the observed readings. For example, if the observations are in one decimal, the class boundaries will be in two decimals and so on. For our case study, it will be 8.95 + 0.20 = 9.15 Finally, consecutively add the class width, to the lowest class boundary until the correct number of classes, approximately 10 and containing the range of all our numbers is obtained.

Step 1 Collect paired data (x,y) between which you want to study the relations & arrange the data in a table. It is desirable to have at least 30 pairs of data.

Step 2 Find the maximum & minimum values for both x & y. Decide the scales of horizontal & vertical axes so that both the lengths become approximately equal, then the diagram will be easier to read. Keep the number of unit graduations between 3 to 10 for each axis & use round numbers to make it easier to read.

Choosing units that express the range of the x and y values, draw an x scale along the horizontal axis and a y scale along the vertical axis.

Step 3 Plot the data on the section paper. Step 4 Enter all necessary items. Make sure that the following items are included so that anyone besides the maker of the diagram can understand at a glance: a) Title of the diagram b) Time interval c) Number of pairs of data d) Title & units of each axis e) Name (etc) of the person who made the diagram

Example A manufacturer of plastic tanks who made them using the blow moulding process encountered problems with defective tanks that had thin tank walls. It was suspected that the variation in air pressure, which varied from day to day, was the cause of the defective thin walls. The table shows data on blowing pressure & percent defective. Let us draw a scatter diagram using this data according to the steps given previously.

Step 1 As seen in the table, we have 30 pairs of data. Step 2 In this example, let blowing air pressure be indicated by X (horizontal axis), & percent defective by Y (vertical axis). Then, The maximum value of X: Xmax = 9.4 (kgf/cm2) The minimum value of X : Xmin = 8.2 (kgf/cm2) The maximum value of Y: Ymax = 0.928 (%) The minimum value of Y : Ymin = 0.864 (%)
