Conformance to Specifications

  
Nonconformities/defects
   Nonconforming/defective

Types of Attributes Charts -- Decision Tree

p Chart:

   (%) of nonconforming units

   Variable subgroup sizes OK


   Need large enough sample size to find
   nonconforming units

   Creating a p chart

np Chart:

   Number of nonconforming units

   Needs constant subgroup size

  
   Creating an np chart

c Chart:

   Number of nonconformities per
   subgroup

   Can be any unit of production


   Need constant subgroup size

   Creating a c chart

u Chart:

   Number of nonconformities per
   unit

   Can be any unit of production


   Variable subgroup size OK

   Creating a u chart

Examples and Exercises

Analyzing Attributes Charts for Suggested Actions

 Lesson 2
 Variables SPC Control Charts

Application of the Central Limit Theorem

Components of a Control Chart

Rational subgroups, "within" variation, and "between" variation


X-bar, R Calculations

Control Limits

Analyzing SPC Charts for Patterns of Variation

   Natural Patterns

   Unatural Patterns
      Outliers
      Runs
      Trends
      Sudden change in level
      Others (Western Electric Rules)
––––––––––
Responding to Chart Signals
   What to Do
   What Not to Do

Creating and Plotting SPC Charts
   Filling out top of chart
   Entering subgroup sample data
   Calculating X-bar and R values
   Plotting X-bar and R values

Control vs. Capability

Determining Process Capability

   Conditions/Assumptions for
   Determining Capability
