What is a process?
Inputs
PROCESS
Outputs
A process can be described as a transformation of
set of inputs into desired outputs.
Data Collection
• We need information to arrive at a conclusion about a
problem. Information is the outcome of the data
collected. Statistical process control relies on the data
and its analysis.
• There are many type of data
= Measures where the metric is composed of a classification in
one of two (or more) categories is called Attribute data.
-Good/Bad
-Yes/No
=Measures where the metric consists of a number which
indicates a precise value is called Variable data.
-Time
-Miles/Hr
Population Vs. Sample (Certainty Vs. Uncertainty)
 A sample is just a subset of all possible values
 A whole set of data is called a population
population
sample
 Since the sample does not contain all the
possible values, there is some uncertainty about
the population. Hence any statistics, such as
mean and standard deviation, are just
estimates of the true population
parameters.

WHY STATISTICS?
THE ROLE OF STATISTICS ………

USL
Statistics is the art of collecting, classifying,
presenting, interpreting and analyzing numerical
data, as well as making conclusions about the
system from which the data was obtained.
5
Descriptive Statistics
Descriptive Statistics is the branch of statistics
which most people are familiar.
It characterizes and summarizes the most
prominent features of a given set of data (means,
medians, standard deviations, percentiles, graphs,
tables and charts.
6
Inferential Statistics
Inferential Statistics is the branch of
statistics that deals with drawing
conclusions about a population based on
information obtained from a sample drawn
from that population.

WHAT IS THE MEAN?
ORDERED DATA SET
The mean is simply the average value of the
data.

WHAT IS THE MEDIAN?
If we rank order (descending or ascending) the data set
,we find the value half way (50%) through the data points
and is called the median value. Median is the middle data
point of a serious.

WHAT IS THE MODE?
If we rank order (descending or ascending) the data
set We find that a single value occurs more often than
any other. This is called the mode.

WHAT IS THE RANGE?
ORDERED DATA SET
The range is a very common metric .
-5
To calculate the range simply subtract the minimum value
in the sample from the maximum value.

WHAT IS THE VARIANCE/STANDARD DEVIATION?
The variance (s2) is a very robust metric .
The standard deviation(s) is the square root of the variance and is the most
commonly used measure of dispersion.

Statistical Process Control (SPC)
• Measures performance of a process
• Uses mathematics (i.e., statistics)
• Involves collecting, organizing, & interpreting
data
• Objective: Regulate product quality
• Used to
– Control the process as products are produced
– Inspect samples of finished products
CONTROL CHART
Steps of a Process Control System are

Define
Measure
Comparing with a standard
Evaluation of the sample for its acceptability
Corrective action
Evaluate corrective action
Control Charts
• Control Charts is a graph used to assess and
maintain the stability of the production process.
• These charts describe where the process is in terms of
current performance and helps the resources to work
with the process to make decisions to enhance the future
quality of products and services.
• Control Charts serve two basic functions:
1. Decision-making: These charts help the supervisor
in deciding the course of action to be initiated for the
information revealed from the process.
ex. investigate for potential problems, adjust the process,
allow the process to run as it is.
2.Problem–Solving: By observing the patterns on the
chart, the supervisor can determine what adjustments
need to be made to bring the process ‘in control’.

Time
Control Chart Purposes
• Show changes in data pattern
– e.g., trends
• Make corrections before process is out
of control
• Show causes of changes in data
– Assignable causes
• Data outside control limits or trend in
data
– Natural causes
• Random variations around average
Quality Characteristics
Variables
Attributes
1. Characteristics that
1. Characteristics for which
you focus on defects
you measure, e.g.,
2. Classify products as either
weight, length
‘good’ or ‘bad’, or count #
2. May be in whole or in
defects
– e.g., radio works or not
fractional numbers
3. Continuous random 3. Categorical or discrete
variables

X Chart
• Type of variables control chart
– Interval or ratio scaled numerical data
• Shows sample means over time
• Monitors process average and tells whether
changes have occurred. These changes may due
to
1. Tool wear
2. Increase in temperature
3. Different method used in the
second shift
4. New stronger material
• Example: Weigh samples of coffee & compute
means of samples; Plot
R Chart
• Type of variables control chart
– Interval or ratio scaled numerical data
• Shows sample ranges over time
– Difference between smallest & largest values in inspection
sample
• Monitors variability in process, it tells us the loss or gain in
dispersion. This change may be due to:
1. Worn bearing
2. A loose tool
3. An erratic flow of lubricant to machine
4. Sloppiness of machine operator
• Example: Weigh samples of coffee & compute ranges of samples;
Plot
Construction of X and R Charts
• Step 1: Select the Characteristics for applying a control
chart.
• Step 2: Select the appropriate type of control chart.
• Step 3: Collect the data.
• Step 4: Choose the rational sub-group i.e Sample
• Step 5: Calculate the average ( X) and range R for each
sample.
• Step 6: Cal Average of averages of X and average of
range(R)
Construction of X and R Charts
• Steps 7:Cal the limits for X and R Charts.
• Steps 8: Plot Centre line (CL) UCL and
LCL on the chart
• Steps 9: Plot individual X and R values on
the chart.
• Steps 10: Check whether the process is in
control (or) not.
• Steps 11: Revise the control limits if the
points are outside.

p Chart for Attributes
• Type of attributes control chart
– Nominally scaled categorical data
• e.g., good-bad
• Shows % of nonconforming items
• Example: Count # defective chairs &
divide by total chairs inspected; Plot
– Chair is either defective or not
defective
p Chart
• p = np / n where p = Fraction of Defective
np = no of Defectives
n = No of items
inspected in sub group
p= Avg Fraction Defective = ∑np/ ∑n = CL
p Chart
Control Limits
p (1 - p )
UCLp = p  z

p (1 - p )
LCLp = p - z

z = 3 for
99.7% limits
Purpose of the p Chart
Identify and correct causes of bad quality
The average proportion of defective
articles submitted for inspection,over a
period.
To suggest where X and R charts to be
used.
Determine average Quality Level.
Problem
• Problem 9.1 Page no 9.3 TQM by V.Jayakumar
np CHART
P and np are quiet same
Whenever subgroup size is variable,p chart is used. If sub
group size is constant, then np is used.
FORMULA: Central Line CLnp = n p
Upper Control Limit, UCLnp = n p +3√ n p (1- p )
Lower Control Limit, LCLnp = n p -3 √ n p (1- p )
Where p = ∑ np/∑n =Average Fraction Defective
n = Number of items inspected in subgroup.

c Chart
• Type of attributes control chart
– Discrete quantitative data
• Shows number of nonconformities (defects) in a
unit
– Unit may be chair, steel sheet, car etc.
– Size of unit must be constant
• Example: Count no of defects (scratches, chips etc.)
in each chair of a sample of 100 chairs; Plot
c Chart
Control Limits
UCLc = c  3 c
LCLc = c - 3 c
