FLOW DIAGRAM
Flow Diagram is a graphical or a pictorial way to depict a process. With the help of a
flow diagram we can show process sequence . It can be used to dissect a process for
Better understanding and analyzing. It can also be used for replanning or making a
Change. The process may manufacturing process of a product , a service provided, to
Convey some information or a combination of any of them.

TYPES OF FLOW DIAGRAM


There are three types of Flow diagram.
1. High Level Flow Diagram
2. Matrix Flow Diagram
3. Detailed Flow Diagram

When to draw Flow Diagram ?


1.For defining the process flow
2.For defining the problem
3.For identifying the root causes
4.For devising the solution.
5.For implementing the solution.
6.At the time of review/ follow up
Useful Symbols for Detailed Flow Diagram
How to ensure accuracy ?
1.Ensure that it is about actual process and not what is intended.
2.Ensure rework loops are not omitted
3.Be honest about what you do
4.Observe actual process before drawing a flow diagram
5.Elicit support of other members for accuracy and completeness and allow them to
review it.

Brainstorming
Definition:
Brainstorming is a group technique for generating new and useful ideas. It uses a few simple rules
for discussion on a subject matter that contributes to Originality and innovation.

Types of Brainstorming: There are three types of brainstorming


a) Free wheeling or Unstructured :No hold , no bar system. No limit on number of ideas at a time.
It is spontaneous and stimulates the creativity of the individual.
b) Slip Method:When you need the involvement of a large groups such method is used .
c) Round Robin or Structured Method:It is a systematic Brainstorming method it follows some
rules in a structured manner, which are given below.
1.Keep the participants ,preferably between six to ten.
2.Give required time for incubation.
3.Make it very clear to all the participants on what subject the brainstorming is done.
4.Enter the points on a black board ,Flip chart or in a transparency for all to see .
5.Expain the guidelines. 6.One idea only at a time . 7.Contribution in turn.
8.You may say pass if no idea is generated .
9.Clarify the point but don’t explain the ideas. 10. No criticism
11.If session looses grip, have a break or change.
12.To bring creativity use five Ws and one H appropriately.
13.Get maximum nos. of ideas.
14. Guests are welcome but will abide by rules.
15.Clarify each contribution.
16.Agree on a evaluation criteria.
Brainstorming
Key Elements concerning Human Creative Ability :
There are five Key elements concerning human creative ability and these are research findings of
Mr. J.P. Gilford.
1.Fluency: Capability of mind producing maximum ideas with in a given time It measured by quantity.
Regular Brainstorming makes creative side of the brain more active.

2.Flexbility : Ability of mind to move from one aspect to another quickly. When we listen to others ,it
opens up new avenues for our thinking .We call this Hitch – Hiking process. Thinking power of an
individual either lies in his memory ,perception about a situation , creativity or imagination. Flexibility is
measured by the number of categories of ideas generated.

3.Originality: Ability of mind one can think of innovative or new ideas. This is ability to identify
uncommon ones .Originality does not come in large numbers. But even one original idea can lead to a
lot of benefits. Thinking without any barrier and away from conventional method lead to originality.

4.Awareness : Ability of mind to look ahead into future i.e. beyond the immediate facts.
5.Drive : Willingness to participate and contribute without any hesitation and to achieve the end goal
without the fear of failure. Getting into the habit of brainstorming helps people to shed their fear
,inhabitations and make them to participate willingly .Such willingness and drive in people make them
to try unconventional way . Dr. Juran calls it as “ Cutting new windows”
Brainstorming
Some difficulties and pit falls connected with Brainstorming
First and foremost we should remember that brainstorming is not a replacement to data.
In a brainstorming some people may very close to the problem and some may not .Some
Times when an idea comes from an outsiders ,the insiders of the group may not give
importance to it. Some people are difficult to deal within a group , they get off the track
Which disrupts the group works.
Use of Brainstorming :
Brainstorming can be used at various stages of problem solving. It can be used for .
1.Identification of problems
2.Finding out possible causes to a problem.
3.Generating ideas for arriving at a solution
4.Predicting the possible resistance to the solution.
5.Finding out the process to overcome the resistance .
Four conceptual rules are:
1. No criticism or evaluation
2.Try not to be conventional
3.Aim for quantity
4.Hitch- Hike on other’s ideas
Four practical rules for structural approach:1.Contribute in turn
2.One Idea per turn 3.You may pass if no idea could be given in one round 4.Do not explain Ideas
Data Collection
Def: Data collection is nothing but collection of the required information in the form of
Figures for statistical analysis of a problem. This provides a sound basis for decision
Making and corrective action.
Purpose of Data Collection :Data are collected for a variety of purposes .In industry
,the following are more common.
Quality Evaluation Raw Materials, intermediate products and finished products.
Process Control : To assure that products turned out meet the specified requirements of
customers/ design
Improvement Trials: To improve product quality , to reduce costs and to increase
Productivity.
Problem Solving : For information throughout the problem solving process by Quality Circles
Compare Performance :From time to time measure improvement in production ,profit. quality
and competitiveness etc.

TYPES of DATA : Generally data are of two types


a) Measurement data or Variable data :Weight , diameter, tensile strength, % carbon ,
reaction time , pressure , temperature etc.. Basic observation obtained by using an instrument
or measuring process. These data are continuous , they are also called continuous variables
Data collection
b) Attribute Data or Countable Data : Data obtained by classification into two or
more categories .For example nos. of rejected , nos. of passed ,data obtained by count of
defects, count of occurrences etc. These data are in whole numbers and also called
discontinuous or discrete variables .

USEFUL POINTS FOR DATA COLLECTION


Collection of information or generation of information as Dr. J.M. Juran says “begins and ends
with questions. Useful points for data collection are
1.Be clear in mind about the objective.
2.Prepare the questions ( use four’ Ws’ and one ‘ H’ which will make it clear and precise.
3.Use data sheet , check sheet, and/ or check list as per the requirement.
4.Reduce opportunities for error
5.Capture data for analysis , reference and traceability.
6.Form / data sheet should be self explanatory .
7.Analyze the collected data for its credibility and relevance (for whom, when or who ,What
collected the data are important)
8.Present data in a way that clearly answers the questions.
9. Collected data relevant to purpose.
Check Sheet
An easy and effective way of collecting data is by using well design formats is known as check
sheet. A check sheet is a simple data recording form specially designed so that data can be
interpreted readily from the sheet itself.
TYPES OF CHECK SHEETS:
a) Process control information checks.
b) Product quality assurance checks.
c) Defective items checks.
d) Defective location checks
e) Defective cause checks.
f) Process variation distribution checks
g) Others.
a) Process control information checks : This format enables us to record
process control checks

c) Defective items checks. To reduce the numbers of defectives ,it is first necessary to
know the type of defects and their magnitude .Since each defect may have different causes ,it is
of no use to just list the total no. of defects.

d) Defective location checks: This kind of check sheet is meant to be placed in the
drawing or sketch of the product so that location of defects can be identified and investigated.
Such type of check sheets are helpful in controlling defects in casting, glassware plastic
components etc.
e) Defective cause checks: This type of check sheet is used to generate information on
causes and their correspondence to the observed defects.
Data may have to be later analyzed by stratification or scatter diagram to get the clues. This is a
rough analysis for cause and effect relationship

CHECK SHEET

Such check sheets are handy in discovering patterns of different vendors


supplying the same part. Inferences can be drawn by just looking at the
information filled check sheets.
This type of check sheet can be examined for the following information.
1. Does the pattern resemble a symmetric shape like single peak or are there
two or more peaks ?
2.Are the values skewed to one side and are there isolated values ?
3.What is the conformance to specifications limits ?
4. Is the center of the distribution close to the target value given in specification ?
5. Is the width of the distribution greater than the specification band ?
BENEFITS of DATA collection : 1. Right decision can be made
2.Errors due to subjective feeling or personal bias are avoided.
3.Agreement on decisions necessary rather than different or subjective opinion.
4.Measurement understandable to all.
5.Assessments of magnitude of improvements.
6.Discovery of causes affecting quality and
Check list type Check sheet : Frequent checks must be made to
keep the equipment’s efficiently and trouble free . It helps to carry out work with
certainty ,it will also reveal the forgotten test items.

Useful points for data collection
• Be clear in mind about the objectives

•Prepare the questions which will make it clear and precise

•Collect data relevant to problem

•Use data sheet ,check sheet and check list as per the requirement

•Keep them simple and easy

•Datasheet/ check sheet should be self explanatory

•Analyze the collected data for its credibility and relevance ( for whom, when, who

collected the data are important .

•Present data in a way that clearly answers the questions


GRAPH
What is Graph ?
Graph is a pictorial representation of data which, when presented, is easily understandable. It help
to represent large amount of information comprehensively and in a compact manner.

When are Graphs to be used ?


Graphs are generally used

a) For explanation to others : We can explain the phenomena in the work shop and make people
understand better .It can be used to explain defect ratio, productivity, increase in turnover etc.

b) For Recording data: Data are sequentially recorded in graphs.

c) For understanding : Past and present situation/ position.

d) For process control : Plotting the data in the order of day or time will often reveal trends or
abnormality, when corrective action has to be taken . Even for production planning and control,
graphs are handy.

e) For Data Analysis : Graphs show what figures mean and clarify the facts that may be over
looked otherwise , if the data are seen as just figure.
How many types of graphs ?
There are eleven types of graphs, they can be divided into two main
groups,
1. Commonly used Graphs
2. Special purpose Graphs
Commonly used Graphs are ;
a) Line Graph
b) Bar Chart / Graph
c) Pie Chart or Circle Graph
d) Pictorial Graph
Special purpose Graphs
a) Belt Graph
b) Radar Graph
c) Compound Graphs
d) Strata Graph
e) Float Graph
f) Zee Graph
g) Pyramid Graph
Line Graph
How are line graph made ?

In these graphs , the abscissa ( X axis) shows Time and the ordinate (Y axis)

shows quantity.

Such graphs are commonly used for watching production , sales, inventory ,

absenteeism , rejection and rework.

Where to use Line graph ?


1. To display comparison of two different series.

2. Used when data defines more meaningful patterns.

Pie Graph or Circle Graph
This is used for showing relative proportion of various components..To convey approximate
relative values

When to use a Pie Graph ?


Use a Pie graph to convey approximate relative value.
Use an exploded Pie to emphasize a small portion of the parts.
Steps for construction.
Draw a circle of any diameter
Collect the data , calculate the ratio of each component or item in the data to the total , multiply
this ratio by 360 deg. Draw a line from any point on the circumference to the centre of the
circle.
Draw each segment in clockwise order. Usually segments are placed in descending order and
miscellaneous is shown at the end.
For Ex. Let population of U.P. is 21 Corers for all caste.
Caste Ratio
OBC = 10/21 = 10/21x360=171.4 deg.
Muslim= 4/21 = 4/21x360=68.6 deg.
Upper Caste= 3/21 = 3/21x360 = 51.4 deg.
SC =2/21 =2/21x360 = 34.32 deg.
Sikh=1/21 = 1/21x360 = 17.14
Others=1/21 =1/21x360 = 17.14 deg.

BELT GRAPH
It is like Pie Graph but using bars and is suitable for showing comparative levels.
It can be made on percentage basis as well as on quantitative basis. It can be made as
Vertical bars or can be made as horizontal bars.
How to make it ?
Collect the data and make the graph like Bar graph , procedure is something similar to
making a bar graph . Only difference is each bar represents multiple information.

RADAR GRAPH
Radar graph is used mostly in comparison of after and before status . It
is gaining popularity in quality Circles . For ex. The organization want to
improve the knowledge of QC circle on eight problem solving
techniques. Organization tested the knowledge of their people before
training against eight problem solving techniques and then imparted
training program on it and again tested knowledge for same after
training and collect data and Plotted Radar graph.

Useful points for making graph
1.Be clear on the purpose of making a graph
2.Arrange the information in order
3.Decide on type of graph
4.Decide on title
5.Show the data
6.Substance is more important than method. Good graph are those which draw
attention to data.
7.Avoid distorting the information
8.Make it easier for eyes to compare
Benefits of Graphs
1 Numerical data are expressed in visual form
2.Helps in comparison
3.Easy to understand
4.No strain of going through large volume of information
5.Creates interest
6.Quick to understand
7.Useful to express data clearly and strikingly
8.No need to have special skill to make them
9.Helps in accurate analysis of cause
STRATIFICATION
Stratification is the process of separation of data into categories.
Ex.In a manufacturing organization absenteeism was very high.
Data collected and stratified them.

CAUSE AND EFFECT DIAGRAM
Any defect in a component, product or service could be one or more
causes to find out the relationship between the cause and effect , a
diagram drawn systematically by Mapping out all the probable
causes influencing the effect . This diagram is called Cause and Effect
diagram.

Types of Cause & effect diagram


1. Dispersion analysis type
2. Production process classification type
3. Cause enumeration Type

Cause and effect diagram is also known as Ishikawa diagram to


honor its originator Dr. K.Ishikawa. By its shape it also called as Fish
bone diagram

PARETO DIAGRAM
Pareto Diagram is a technique of arranging data according to priority importance and
using it into a problem solving frame work . This helps to find out the “VITAL FEW”
from the “USEFUL MANY” for problem selection .
Pareto Diagram is compound graph . To draw the diagram , collect data and arrange it
In descending order. If “others” is there which consist of several small defects but not
more than the specified defects ,then others will be always come at the end as this
will be cumulative of more than one of defect. Some times specific defect may be
equal or less than others, even others will be at the end.

SCATTER DIAGRAM

Definition :-
Scatter diagram is a graphical representation of relationship
between two variables .

It can be between Cause and Effect and between two causes .

It also reveals the nature of relationship between two


variables and their approximate strength.

It is normally used to examine relationship


before
proceeding for further analysis.
DEFECT LEVEL

LEVEL OF OIL

He plotted them in a graph i.e. in 'Y' axis the


defect level and in 'X' axis the level of oil used.
This showed that there was no correlation
between the two variables.

6. 8649 1413.76 3496.8
7. 7744 1095.61 2912.8
Step 1
Find out 'n' and obtain total of
2 2
X, Y, X, Y and 'XY'
n = 25
Sx = 2147
SY = 899.7
2
SX = 185597
2
SY = 32715.29
SXY = 77749.20
Step 2

{ S x - (Sx) } { S y - (Sy) }
n n
Step 3
Substitute the values in the formula

77749. 2 - (2147) (899.7)


25
r=
2 2
{185597 - (2147) } {32715.29 - (899.7) }
25 25
Step 4
Find out the value of ‘r’. If the 'r' value is above
0.7, then the correlation is useful.

r = 483
639.15

r = 0.7557
Step 5
2
Find out 100 r.

This gives percentage of variation in 'Y'


influenced by 'X' i.e the independent
variable. In this case

2
100r = 57.1
Step 5
Therefore correlation between these
two variables is useful.

2
r = 0.5710

2
100 r =57.10
Calculation of coefficient of correlation and
contribution of X to Y
Step 1
Obtain pairs of observation for the two variables .

Calculation of coefficient of correlation and contribution of X to Y

Step 3
Note down the values of N observation, Y2 and XY for the observation value calculation

n = 5 , ∑X =150 , ∑Y = 40 , ∑X2 =4750 , ∑Y2 =340 , ∑XY =1255

Step 4

r= = 0.78
70.71
Step 6
To calculate contribution of X to Y find out 100 r2 .

In this X is independent variable and Y is dependent of x

% Contribution of X y = 100r2

= 100x0.78x0.78

= 61%

Based on data taken we can conclude that the contribution of height to


weight is 61%

And 39% is due to other effects


HISTOGRAM
Histogram is a graphical representation of a frequency distribution
which is summery of variation in a product or process.
To make Histogram collect data for example , show the weight of 2kg. Sweet of a
shop. Least count of scale used was 1gm. Total nos. of sweet pieces are 64

51 – 100 7
101- 200 8
201 – 500 9

Total nos. of observations = 64 Hence value of K =7


Now approximate width of class intervals “ C “ based on the formula

C=( R+W ) / K R= range, W = least count of scale


C = (13+1)/7 = 2 K = No. of class intervals
Now lower limit of first class interval = xmin – W/2 = 24- 0.5 = 23.5
Upper limit of first class interval = 23.5 + c = 23.5 +2 = 25.5
Lower limit of 2nd class interval =25.5
Upper limit of 2nd class interval = 25.5 + c = 25.5 +2 = 27.5
similarly after calculation we can get the all class intervals

Some of the
Shapes of
Histogram
Double Peaked
This pattern arises from a mixture of two
conditions , two suppliers of same parts, two
machines, two operators. Separate histogram
for each condition has to be made.
Comb Type

This pattern is usually traceable to errors in


measurements, and observations are rounded
off. Check for bias for even numbers in the data.
Isolated Peak

It is small group of data from a different


lot/process condition. It shows that means or
process levels are different and variation is
different.
Plateau Type

This is a mixture of several process


conditions. Output of several days mixed
together in a lot.

* Display variability in a set of data


* Patterns of variability reveal facts about process
* Patterns of variability can suggest and test theories
* Show the status of control
* Show current conformance to specifications and
whether scope exists for improvement.
Control Chart
What is control chart ?
Control chart is a graphical device to aid in process control . It is an ON - line process
Control technique widely used for process control . It consists of a graph with a central
line denoting the target value or mean value and two limit lines on either side of the central
line called “Upper Control limit and Lower Control limit” generally indicated in dotted line.
UCL

LCL
We know that variation is always present due to inherent variation in the input for a given
out put .Such variation can be due to a variety of causes .They can be broadly classified
Into two categories .
1.Chance Causes
2.Assignable Causes
Based on the requirement and conditions prevalent , we accept certain variations as
inevitable .Depending upon the working conditions such inherent variations are accepted
as due to CHANCE CAUSES.. We know ,however sophisticated the systems, production
condition etc. chance causes are bound to be there.
ASSIGNABLE causes are not present under normal working conditions. They suddenly
creep in due to various reasons causing changes in the control parameters .
Statistical Control Process : When no Assignable causes of variation are present in a
process and it operates only under a constant system of chance causes , process is said
to be in a state of Statistical Control .
Occasionally ,assignable causes may enter the process resulting in a change to out of
control state when process out put shows large variation and hence fails to meet required
quality products.
A major objective of statistical quality control is to quickly detect process shifts due to
assignable causes so that corrective action can be taken to prevent nonconforming
Products being turned out. This facilitated by a CONTROL Chart.

How to set control Limits ?
Control limits are the permissible limits under chance causes variation or under state of
statistical control .For a measurable quality characteristic , chance causes variation will result
in a pattern of variation called normal distribution which is a symmetrical frequency
distribution. This distribution is described completely by the mean and standard deviation
.One feature of this distribution is that with a span of + _ 3standard deviation (+_3 sigma)
from the mean form the limits for variation due to chance causes .
TYPES OF CONTROL CHARTS :
Control charts classified into two categories .
a) Variables Control Chart
b) Attributes Control Charts
Variables Control Chart : If the quality characteristic can be measured with the help of an
instrument or measuring process , it is called a measurable characteristic .For example,
diameter, electrical resistance, iodine no., yield, carbon content and tensile strength etc.
In such cases , it is convenient to describe the quality characteristic by average and measure
of variability by rang or standrd deviation.
There are three types of variable control charts.
1.Average and Range Chart ( X-R Chart)
2.Individual and Range Chart( X- R Chart)
3.Meadian and Range Chart

This is applicable when subgroup is not practicable and control is to be exercised based
On single values.
This can also be used on special occasion and where process is under control in normal
Condition. This chart does not detect the changes in the process level quickly.
Here individual value is taken rather than group value.
For Example:
We are interested in controlling the power consumption in home

Interpretation : All points are within the upper controll limit and therefore process is under
Control .
C) Number of Defects “C” Chart.
This control chart is used when quality assessment is in terms of number of defects in
single items. The number of defects on the product is noted and “C” chart help to know
whether the defect level is under the control.
For example a carpet manufacturing company wants to monitor defects in carpet. For
this purpose the number of defects per square meter is collected.

Interpretation: it is seen from the chart that all the points are below the upper
control Limit and there are no runs and trends. It is therefore the defect level is
under statistical Control.
d) Number of defects per unit “U” Chart
This is used when inspection unit value changes .For example the carpet was earlier
checked for defects in one square meter ,after few checks instead of one sqm. 1.5 sqm
are checked and after some time it was increased to 1.8 square meter. In such cases
control limits will change accordingly.

Continuous plotting help in finding out whether process is under control or not . Lack
Of control is indicated by points falling on or out side control limits. But even when the
values are within the control limits, process can be consider out of control if it is reflecting
Any one of the following pattern.
Run : It is a state when points occur continuously on one side of the central line and then
the number of points is called the length of Run.
As said earlier, control charts are
graphical aids in process control.

STEPS FOR PROBLEM SOLVING
{A systematic approach not only helps in studying the problem in the proper perspective but
also to make Use of problem solving technique at the appropriate place}

There are 12 steps suggested for problem solving

STEP -1 Identification of work related problems


Method :-
a) Generate a list of problems using Brainstorming
b) Prioritize problems using “A” “B” “C” analysis

‘A’ category problem


Minimum involvement of other departments in solving the problems
‘B’ category problem
Involvement of other departments is a necessity
‘C’ category problem
Management sanction may be needed in implementing the solution
STEP -2 “ SELECTION OF PROBLEM”
Method :-
a) “PARETO ANALYSIS” or “RATING” based on past data or system
b) Register the selected problem with coordinating agency

STEP -3 “DEFINE THE PROBLEM”


Method :-
a) By using “ FLOW DIAGRAM”
b) By using “BRAINSTORMING”

STEP -4 “ANALYSE THE PROBLEM”


Method :-
a) By using “ DATA COLLECTION”
b) By using “GRAPH”
c) By using “STRATIFICATIN”
STEP -5 “ IDENTIFICATION OF CAUSES”
Method :-
a) “BRAIN STORMING”
b) “CAUSE and EFFECT Diagram

STEP -6 “FINDING OUT THE ROOT CAUSES”


Method :-
a) Identifying the main causes in “ CAUSE and EFFECT DIAGRAM” by DATA
COLLECTION and discussion

STEP -7 “DATA ANALYSIS”


Method :-
By using techniques LINE GRAPH,BAR GRAPH,PIE GRAPH, AREA GRAPH
HISTOGRAM, STRATIFICATION and SCATTER DIAGRAM

STEP -8 “DEVELOPING SOLUTION”


Method :-
Using BRAINSTORMING
STEP -9 “ FORESEEING PROBABLE RESISTANCE”
Method :-
“BRAIN STORMING”
Identifying the probable constraints and finding ways to overcome them.
Make a presentation to all involved with the solution i.e. Dept. head, Facilitator, other
officials and non-members involved with the implementation. Discuss and evaluate a system
for implementation.

STEP -10 “ TRIAL IMPLEMENTATION AND CHECK PERFORMANCE”


Method :-
Data collection after implementation , compared with the data collected before solving the
problem. Collect fresh data using control chart and watch process trends. Analyse the result,
discuss and incorporate the changes needed
STEP -11 “ REGULAR IMPLEMENTATION”
Method :-
Once validity is checked and improvement observed with data , regular
implementation can be effected

STEP -12 “ FOLLOW UP/ REVIEW”


Method :-
Implement evaluation procedure, use Data collection, control chart and Bar Graph , have six
monthly report for evaluation.
Make modifications if necessary
