Learning Objectives
 LO13–01: Illustrate process variation and explain
how to measure it.
 LO13–02: Analyze process quality using statistics.
 LO13–03: Analyze the quality of batches of items
using statistics.

13-2
Statistical Quality Control (SQC)
 The
quantitative Assignable variation
aspects of • Variation that is caused by factors
that can be identified and managed
quality
management
 Processes
usually exhibit Common variation
some variation • Variation that is inherent in the
process itself
in their output

13-3
Measuring Variation

13-4
Variation and Specifications
 Upper specification – the maximum acceptable
value for a characteristic
 Lower specification – the minimum acceptable
value for a characteristic
Traditional View of Variability Costs Taguchi’s View of Variability Costs

13-5
Process Capability
 The ability of a process to consistently produce a
good or deliver a service with a low probability of
generating a defect
 Specification limits – range of variation that is
considered acceptable by the designer or customer
 Process limits – range of variation that a process is
able to maintain with a high degree of certainty

13-6
Process Capability

Process control limits exceed specification limits – process is not


capable of meeting requirements

13-7
Process Capability

Specification control limits exceed process limits (for improved


process) – process is capable of meeting requirements

13-8
Process Capability Index (Cpk)
 Ratio of the range of values
produced divided by the range of
values allowed
 Shows how well the parts being
produced fit into the range
specified by the design
specifications
 Cpk larger than one indicates
process is capable
 When the two numbers are not Excel: Process Cap
close, indicates mean has shifted ability

13-9
Example 13.1
The quality assurance manager is assessing the
capability of a process that puts pressurized grease in an
aerosol can. The design specifications call for an
average of 60 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure
in each can with an upper specification limit of 65 psi
and a lower specification limit of 55 psi. A sample is
taken from production and it is found that the cans
average 61 psi with a standard deviation of 2 psi.
 What is the capability of the process?

 What is the probability of producing a defect?

13-10
Example 13.1: Solution

13-11
Process Control Procedures
 Concerned with monitoring quality while
the product or service is being produced
 Statistical process control - testing a
sample of output to determine if the process
is producing items within a preselected
range
 Attributes - quality characteristics that are
classified as either conforming or not
conforming
 Variable - characteristics that are measured Excel: Statistical P
using an actual value rocess Control

13-12
Process Control Measurements –
p-Charts

 Used when an item (or service) is either good or


bad (a yes-no decision)

13-13
Creating p-Charts
Calculate the sample proportions p for each
sample.

Calculate the average of the sample proportions.

Calculate the standard deviation of the sample


proportion.

Calculate the control limits.

Plot the individual sample proportions, the


average of the proportions, and the control limits.

13-14
Process Control Measurements –
c-Charts

 Used when an item (or service) may have multiple


defects

13-15
Variable Measurement Process Control Charts – X-
bar and R-Charts

 Size of samples
 Preferable to keep small (usually 4 or 5 units)
 Number of samples
 Once chart set up, each sample compared to chart
 Use about 25 samples to set up chart
 Frequency of samples
 Trade-off between cost of sampling and benefit of adjusting the
system
 Control limits
 Generally use z = 3

Process Control Charts – Interpretation

13-18
Acceptance Sampling
 Performed on goods that already exist to determine
what percentage of the products conform to
specifications
 Executed through a sampling plan
 Results include accept, reject, or retest

13-19
Acceptance Sampling – Purposes
 Determine quality level
 Ensure quality is within predetermined

level

13-20
Acceptance Sampling
Disadvantages Advantages

 Risks of accepting  Economy


“bad” lots and  Less handling damage
rejecting “good” lots  Fewer inspectors
 Added planning and  Upgrading of the
documentation inspection job
 Sample provides less  Applicability to
information than 100 destructive testing
percent inspection  Entire lot rejection
(motivation for
improvement)
13-21
Acceptance Sampling – Designing a Sampling Plan

 Determine (1) how many units, n, to sample from a


lot, and (2) the maximum number of defective
items, c, that can be found in the sample before the
lot is rejected
Acceptable quality Lot tolerance percent
level (AQL) defective (LTPD)
• Maximum acceptable • Percentage of defectives
percentage of defectives that defines consumer’s
defined by producer rejection point

 (producer’s risk)  (consumer’s risk)


• The probability of • The probability of
rejecting a good lot accepting a bad lot
