Quality Terminology
Quality is “the totality of features and characteristics of a product or service that bears on its ability to satisfy given needs.”
Quality assurance refers to the entire system of policies, procedures, and guidelines established by an organization to achieve and maintain quality.
The objective of quality engineering is to include quality in the design of products and processes and to identify potential quality problems prior to production.
Quality control consists of making a series of inspections and measurements to determine whether quality standards are being met.

Statistical Process Control (SPC)
The goal of SPC is to determine whether the process can be continued or whether it should be adjusted to achieve a desired quality level.
If the variation in the quality of the production output is due to assignable causes (operator error, worn-out tooling, bad raw material, . . . ) the process should be adjusted or corrected as soon as possible.
If the variation in output is due to common causes (variation in materials, humidity, temperature, . . . ) which the manager cannot control, the process does not need to be adjusted.

SPC Hypotheses
SPC procedures are based on hypothesis-testing methodology.
The null hypothesis H0 is formulated in terms of the production process being in control.
The alternative hypothesis Ha is formulated in terms of the process being out of control.
As with other hypothesis-testing procedures, both a Type I error (adjusting an in-control process) and a Type II error (allowing an out-of-control process to continue) are possible.

Control Charts
SPC uses graphical displays known as control charts to monitor a production process.
Control charts provide a basis for deciding whether the variation in the output is due to common causes (in control) or assignable causes (out of control).
Two important lines on a control chart are the upper control limit (UCL) and lower control limit (LCL).
These lines are chosen so that when the process is in control there will be a high probability that the sample finding will be between the two lines.
Values outside of the control limits provide strong evidence that the process is out of control.

Types of Control Charts
An x chart is used if the quality of the output is measured in terms of a variable such as length, weight, temperature, and so on.
x represents the mean value found in a sample of the output.
An R chart is used to monitor the range of the measurements in the sample.
A p chart is used to monitor the proportion defective in the sample.
An np chart is used to monitor the number of defective items in the sample.

Interpretation of Control Charts
The location and pattern of points in a control chart enable us to determine, with a small probability of error, whether a process is in statistical control.
A primary indication that a process may be out of control is a data point outside the control limits.
Certain patterns of points within the control limits can be warning signals of quality problems:• Large number of points on one side of
center line.• Six or seven points in a row that indicate
either an increasing or decreasing trend.• . . . and other patterns.

Acceptance Sampling
Acceptance sampling is a statistical method that enables us to base the accept-reject decision on the inspection of a sample of items from the lot.
Acceptance sampling has advantages over 100% inspection including: less expensive, less product damage, fewer people involved, . . . and more.

Example: Acceptance Sampling
An inspector takes a sample of 20 items from a lot.
Her policy is to accept a lot if no more than 2 defective
items are found in the sample.Assuming that 5 percent of a lot is defective, what is
the probability that she will accept a lot? Reject a lot?
n = 20, c = 2, and p = .05 P(Accept Lot) = f(0) + f(1) + f(2)
= .3585 + .3774 + .1887
= .9246 P(Reject Lot) = 1 - .9246 = .0754

Multiple Sampling Plans
A multiple sampling plan uses two or more stages of sampling.
At each stage the decision possibilities are:• stop sampling and accept the lot,• stop sampling and reject the lot, or• continue sampling.
Multiple sampling plans often result in a smaller total sample size than single-sample plans with the same Type I error and Type II error probabilities.
