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.
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.

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

•Use data sheet ,check sheet and check list as per the requirement
•Analyze the collected data for its credibility and relevance ( for whom, when, who
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.
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

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.

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)

2. INDIVIDUAL and RANGE CHART(X-R)
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.

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.
Continuous plotting help in finding
