What is it?
• The Seven Basic Tools of Quality is a designation given to a
fixed set of graphical techniques identified as being most
helpful in troubleshooting issues related to quality.
• They are called basic because they are suitable for people
with little formal training in statistics and because they can
be used to solve the vast majority of quality-related issues.

1. Cause and Effect Diagram
• Use a cause-and-effect (fishbone or Ishikawa) diagram to organize brainstorming information about potential causes of a problem.
• Diagramming helps you to see relationships among potential causes.
• You can draw a blank diagram, or a diagram filled in as much as you like, including sub-branches.
• Although there is no "correct" way to construct a fishbone diagram, some types lend themselves well to many different situations.
© 2016 3FOLD Education Centre . All rights reserved . [email protected] . www.3foldtraining.com . 800 3FOLD
Example
• Using a Pareto chart, you discovered that your parts were
rejected most often due to surface flaws. This afternoon,
you are meeting with members of various departments
to brainstorm potential causes for these flaws.
Beforehand, you decide to print a cause-and-effect
(fishbone) diagram to help organize your notes during the
meeting. The example below illustrates how to generate
a complete cause-and-effect diagram with sub-branches.

2. Check Sheet
• Description
– A check sheet is a structured, prepared form for collecting and analyzing data. This is a generic tool that can be adapted for a wide variety of purposes.
• When to Use
– When data can be observed and collected repeatedly by the same person or at the same location, and . . .
– When collecting data on the frequency or patterns of events, problems, defects, defect location, defect causes, and so forth, or . . .
– When collecting data from a production process

2. Check Sheet (Procedures)
1. Decide what event or problem will be observed. Develop operational definitions.
2. Decide when data will be collected and for how long.
3. Design the form. Set it up so that data can be recorded simply by making check marks or Xs or similar symbols and so that data does not have to be recopied for analysis.
4. Label all spaces on the form.
5. Test the check sheet for a short trial period to be sure it collects the appropriate data and is easy to use.
6. Each time the targeted event or problem occurs, record data on the check sheet.
© 2016 3FOLD Education Centre . All rights reserved . [email protected] . www.3foldtraining.com . 800 3FOLD
Example
• The below figure shows a check sheet used to collect data on telephone interruptions. The tick
marks ere added as data as collected o er se eral eeks’ time. What days are worst for
interruptions? Which interruptions are most frequent? This check sheet was designed in the
same format as a contingency table, so that the data can be analyzed with chi-square
hypothesis tests without recopying into a different format.

3. Histogram
• Use to examine the shape and spread of sample data.
Histograms divide sample values into many intervals called
bins . Bars represent the number of observations falling
within each bin (its frequency).
© 2016 3FOLD Education Centre . All rights reserved . [email protected] . www.3foldtraining.com . 800 3FOLD
Histogram (Cont…)
• In the histogram below, for example, there are two
observations with values between 2.5 and 7.5, three
observations with values between 7.5 and 12.5, and so on.
© 2016 3FOLD Education Centre . All rights reserved . [email protected] . www.3foldtraining.com . 800 3FOLD
Histogram Example (Minitab)
• You work for a shampoo manufacturer and need to ensure that the caps on your bottles are being fastened properly. If fastened too loosely, they may fall off during shipping. If fastened too tightly, they may be hard for you customers to open (especially in the shower).
• You collect a random sample of bottles and test the amount of torque required to remove the caps. Create a histogram with a fitted normal distribution to evaluate how close your samples were to the target value of 18 and whether the data are distributed normally.
© 2016 3FOLD Education Centre . All rights reserved . [email protected] . www.3foldtraining.com . 800 3FOLD
Output
Interpreting the results
Mean torque for the sample was
21.26, slightly more than the
target value of 18. Only one cap
was very loose, with a torque of
less than 11. However, the
distribution is positively skewed
and several caps were much
tighter than they should be.
Many caps required a torque of
greater than 24 to remove and
five caps required a torque of
greater than 33, nearly two
times the target value.
Because the sample data are so
skewed, the normal distribution
does not fit very well.

4. Pareto Chart
• A Pareto chart is a bar graph. The lengths of the bars
represent frequency or cost (time or money), and are
arranged with longest bars on the left and the shortest to
the right. In this way the chart visually depicts which
situations are more significant.
© 2016 3FOLD Education Centre . All rights reserved . [email protected] . www.3foldtraining.com . 800 3FOLD
When to Use a Pareto Chart
• When analyzing data about the frequency of problems or
causes in a process.
• When there are many problems or causes and you want to
focus on the most significant.
• When analyzing broad causes by looking at their specific
components.
• When communicating with others about your data.
© 2016 3FOLD Education Centre . All rights reserved . [email protected] . www.3foldtraining.com . 800 3FOLD
Minitab Example
• Suppose you work for a company that manufactures motorcycles. You hope to reduce quality costs arising from defective speedometers.
• During inspection, a certain number of speedometers are rejected, and the types of defects recorded. You enter the name of each defect into a worksheet column called Defects, and the corresponding counts into a column called Counts.
• You know that you can save the most money by focusing on the defects responsible for most of the rejections. A Pareto chart will help you identify which defects are causing most of your problems.

5. Scatter Diagram
• The scatter diagram graphs pairs of numerical data, with
one variable on each axis, to look for a relationship
between them. If the variables are correlated, the points
will fall along a line or curve. The better the correlation, the
tighter the points will hug the line.
© 2016 3FOLD Education Centre . All rights reserved . [email protected] . www.3foldtraining.com . 800 3FOLD
When to Use a Scatter Diagram
• When you have paired numerical data.
• When your dependent variable may have multiple values for each value of your independent variable.
• When trying to determine whether the two variables are related, such as… – When trying to identify potential root causes of problems.
– After brainstorming causes and effects using a fishbone diagram, to determine objectively whether a particular cause and effect are related.
– When determining whether two effects that appear to be related both occur with the same cause.
– When testing for autocorrelation before constructing a control chart.

Minitab Example
• You are interested in how well your company's camera batteries are meeting customers' needs. Market research shows that customers become annoyed if they have to wait longer than 5.25 seconds between flashes.
• You collect a sample of batteries that have been in use for varying amounts of time and measure the voltage remaining in each battery immediately after a flash (VoltsAfter), as well as the length of time required for the battery to be able to flash again (flash recovery time, FlashRecov). Create a scatterplot to examine the results. Include a reference line at the critical flash recovery time of 5.25 seconds.
© 2016 3FOLD Education Centre . All rights reserved . [email protected] . www.3foldtraining.com . 800 3FOLD
Interpreting the results
As expected, the lower the voltage
in a battery after a flash, the
longer the flash recovery time
tends to be.
The reference line helps to
illustrate that there were many
flash recovery times greater than
5.25 seconds

6. Flowchart
• Flowcharts are used in designing and documenting simple
processes or programs. Like other types of diagrams, they
help visualize what is going on and thereby help
understand a process, and perhaps also find flaws,
bottlenecks, and other less-obvious features within it.

7. Control Charts
• The control chart is a graph used to study how a process changes over time. Data are plotted in time order.
• A control chart always has a central line for the average, an upper line for the upper control limit and a lower line for the lower control limit. These lines are determined from historical data.
• By comparing current data to these lines, you can draw conclusions about whether the process variation is consistent (in control) or is unpredictable (out of control, affected by special causes of variation).

Choosing a Control Chart
© 2016 3FOLD Education Centre . All rights reserved . [email protected] . www.3foldtraining.com . 800 3FOLD
Control Charts – Variable Data
• Variables control charts for subgroups plot statistics from
continuous measurement data , such as length or pressure,
for subgroup data.
• Variables control charts for individuals, time-weighted
charts , and multivariate charts also plot measurement
data.
• Attributes control charts plot count data, such as the
number of defects or defective units .
© 2016 3FOLD Education Centre . All rights reserved . [email protected] . www.3foldtraining.com . 800 3FOLD
X-bar and S Chart - Example
• You work at an automobile engine assembly plant. One of the parts, a camshaft, must be 600 mm +2 mm long to meet engineering specifications.
• There has been a chronic problem with camshaft length being out of specification, which causes poor-fitting assemblies, resulting in high scrap and rework rates.
• Your supervisor wants to run X and R charts to monitor this characteristic, so for a month, you collect a total of 100 observations (20 samples of 5 camshafts each) from all the camshafts used at the plant, and 100 observations from each of your suppliers. First you will look at camshafts produced by Supplier 2.

Xbar-R Chart of Supp2 Interpreting the results
The center line on the X
chart is at 600.23, implying
that your process is falling
within the specification
limits, but two of the points
fall outside the control
limits, implying an unstable
process. The center line on
the R chart, 3.72, is also
quite large considering the
maximum allowable
variation is +2 mm. There
may be excess variability in
your process.

Control Charts – Attribute Data
• Attributes control charts are similar in structure to
variables control charts, except that they plot statistics
from count data rather than measurement data.
• For instance, products may be compared against a standard
and classified as either being defective or not. Products
may also be classified by their number of defects .

Minitab Example
• You work in a toy manufacturing company and your job is
to inspect the number of defective bicycle tires. You
inspect 200 samples in each lot and then decide to create
an NP chart to monitor the number of defectives.

NP Chart of RejectsInterpreting the results
Inspection lots 9 and 20 fall above
the upper control limit, indicating
that special causes may have
affected the number of defectives
for these lots. You should
investigate what special causes
may have influenced the out-of-
control number of bicycle tire
defectives for inspection lots 9
and 20.
