Seven basic tools of quality.

Description 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. The seven basic tools of quality or seven basic Quality Control (QC) tools as they are commonly called, are tools which arrange problem areas, put data into diagrams, surface problem areas and clearly bring up any hidden truth. These tools are not for experts alone but for the use of everyone in their daily work. A problem solving team's successes are dependent on the familiarity and ease with which these tools are used.

The Seve n Basic QC Tools are: 1. Check Sheet: Systematically collects and organizes data for analysis.

2. Histogram: Illustrates the distribution of a set of data.

3. Pareto Chart: Identifies and prioritizes the most significant factors contributing to a problem.

4. Cause-and-Effect Diagram (Fishbone/Ishikawa): Identifies potential causes of a problem for further analysis.

5. Scatter Diagram: Examines the relationship between two variables.

6. Control Chart: Monitors and maintains the stability of a process over time.

7. Stratification: Analyzes and categorizes data to identify patterns and variations. In this Seven Basic Tools of Quality PPT training presentation, you will be able to teach employees how to use the tools in their daily work or as part of the structured Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach to problem solving. The basic tools can also be applied in A3 problem solving, 8D (Eight Disciplines) problem solving, Yellow Belt Lean Six Sigma projects, Green Belt Lean Six Sigma projects, Kaizen events, TPM Focused Improvement projects, etc.

7 Basic Tools of Quality for Process Improvement

Japan is known worldwide for its quality products and services. One of the many reasons for this is its excellent quality management. How did it become so? Japan has Dr. Kaoru Ishikawa to thank for that.

Postwar Japan underwent a major quality revolution. Companies were focused on training their employees in statistical quality control. But soon they realized that the complexity of the subject itself could intimidate most of the workers; so they wanted more basic tools.

Dr. Kaoru Ishikawa, a member of the Japanese Union of Scientists and Engineers (JUSE), took it to his hands to make quality control easier for everyone – even those with little knowledge of statistics – to understand. He introduced the 7 basic tools of quality. They were soon adopted by most companies and became the foundation of Japan’s astonishing industrial resurgence after World War 2.

This post will describe the 7 basic quality tools, how to use them and give you access to templates that you can use right away.

Quality Tools: What Are They?

How can teams and organizations use the 7 basic quality tools, cause and effect diagram, scatter diagram, check sheets.

• Control chart
• Pareto chart

The 7 basic tools of quality, sometimes also referred to as 7 QC tools – represent a fixed set of graphical tools used for troubleshooting issues that are related to quality.

They are called basic quality tools because they can be easily learned by anyone even without any formal training in statistics. Dr. Kaoru Ishikawa played the leading role in the development and advocacy of using the 7 quality tools in organizations for problem-solving and process improvement.  

The 7 basic quality tools include;

• Cause-and-effect diagram
• Scatter diagram
• Check sheet

The 7 quality tools were first emphasized by Kaoru Ishikawa a professor of engineering at the University of Tokyo, who is also known as the father of “Quality Circles” for the role he played in launching Japan’s quality movement in the 1960s. During this time, companies were focused on training their employees in statistical quality control realized that the complexity of the subject could intimidate most of the workers; hence they opted for simpler methods that are easy to learn and use. 7 basic tools of quality were thus incorporated company-wide.

Quality tools are used to collect data, analyze data, identify root causes, and measure results in problem-solving and process improvement. The use of these tools helps people involved easily generate new ideas, solve problems, and do proper planning.

• Structured approach: They provide a systematic approach to problem-solving and process improvement, ensuring that efforts are well-organized and focused.
• Data-driven decision making: The tools enable data collection, analysis, and visualization, empowering teams to make informed decisions based on evidence.
• Improved communication and collaboration: Visual representations and structured tools facilitate effective communication and collaboration among team members, leading to shared understanding and alignment.
• Problem identification and prioritization: The tools help identify and prioritize problems or improvement opportunities, enabling teams to allocate resources efficiently and address critical issues first.
• Continuous improvement: By using these tools, teams can establish a culture of continuous improvement, as they provide a framework for ongoing monitoring, analysis, and refinement of processes.

7 Basic Quality Tools Explained with Templates

The 7 quality tools can be applied across any industry.  They help teams and individuals analyze and interpret the data they gather and derive maximum information from it.

Flowcharts are perhaps the most popular out of the 7 quality tools. This tool is used to visualize the sequence of steps in a process, event, workflow, system, etc. In addition to showing the process as a whole, a flowchart also highlights the relationship between steps and the process boundaries (start and end).

Flowcharts use a standard set of symbols, and it’s important to standardize the use of these symbols so anyone can understand and use them easily. Here’s a roundup of all the key flowchart symbols .

• To build a common understanding of a process.
• To analyze processes and discover areas of issues, inefficiencies, blockers, etc.
• To standardize processes by leading everyone to follow the same steps.

Real-world examples of usage

• Documenting and analyzing the steps involved in a customer order fulfillment process.
• Mapping out the workflow of a software development lifecycle.
• Visualizing the process flow of patient admissions in a hospital.

Enhances process understanding, highlights bottlenecks or inefficiencies, and supports process optimization and standardization efforts.

How to use a flowchart

• Gather a team of employees involved in carrying out the process for analyzing it.
• List down the steps involved in the process from its start to end.
• If you are using an online tool like Creately , you can first write down the process steps and rearrange them later on the canvas as you identify the flow.
• Identify the sequence of steps; when representing the flow with your flowchart, show it from left to write or from top to bottom.
• Connect the shapes with arrows to indicate the flow.

Who can use it?

• Process improvement teams mapping and documenting existing processes for analysis.
• Business analysts or consultants analyzing workflow and process optimization opportunities.
• Software developers or system designers documenting the flow of information or interactions in a system.

To learn more about flowcharts, refer to our Ultimate Flowchart Tutorial .

A histogram is a type of bar chart that visualizes the distribution of numerical data. It groups numbers into ranges and the height of the bar indicates how many fall into each range.

It’s a powerful quality planning and control tool that helps you understand preventive and corrective actions.

• To easily interpret a large amount of data and identify patterns.
• To make predictions of process performance.
• To identify the different causes of a quality problem.
• Analyzing the distribution of call wait times in a call center.
• Assessing the distribution of product weights in a manufacturing process.
• Examining the variation in delivery times for an e-commerce business.

Provides insights into process performance and variation, enabling teams to target areas for improvement and make data-driven decisions.

How to make a histogram

• Collect data for analysis. Record occurrences of specific ranges using a tally chart.
• Analyze the data at hand and split the data into intervals or bins.
• Count how many values fall into each bin.
• On the graph, indicate the frequency of occurrences for each bin with the area (height) of the bar.
• Process engineers or data analysts examining process performance metrics.
• Financial analysts analyzing expenditure patterns or budget variances.
• Supply chain managers assessing supplier performance or delivery times.

Here’s a useful article to learn more about using a histogram for quality improvement in more detail.

This tool is devised by Kaoru Ishikawa himself and is also known as the fishbone diagram (for it’s shaped like the skeleton of a fish) and Ishikawa diagram.

They are used for identifying the various factors (causes) leading to an issue (effect). It ultimately helps discover the root cause of the problem allowing you to find the correct solution effectively.

• Problem-solving; finding root causes of a problem.
• Uncovering the relationships between different causes leading to a problem.
• During group brainstorming sessions to gather different perspectives on the matter.
• Investigating the potential causes of low employee morale or high turnover rates.
• Analyzing the factors contributing to product defects in a manufacturing process.
• Identifying the root causes of customer complaints in a service industry.

Enhances problem-solving by systematically identifying and organizing possible causes, allowing teams to address root causes rather than symptoms.

How to use the cause and effect diagram

• Identify the problem area that needs to be analyzed and write it down at the head of the diagram.
• Identify the main causes of the problem. These are the labels for the main branches of the fishbone diagram. These main categories can include methods, material, machinery, people, policies, procedures, etc.
• Identify plausible sub-causes of the main causes and attach them as sub-branches to the main branches.
• Referring to the diagram you have created, do a deeper investigation of the major and minor causes.
• Once you have identified the root cause, create an action plan outlining your strategy to overcome the problem.
• Cross-functional improvement teams working on complex problems or process improvement projects.
• Quality engineers investigating the root causes of quality issues.
• Product designers or engineers seeking to understand the factors affecting product performance.

The scatter diagram (scatter charts, scatter plots, scattergrams, scatter graphs) is a chart that helps you identify how two variables are related.

The scatter diagram shows the values of the two variables plotted along the two axes of the graph. The pattern of the resulting points will reveal the correlation.  

• To validate the relationship between causes and effects.
• To understand the causes of poor performance.
• To understand the influence of the independent variable over the dependent variable.
• Exploring the relationship between advertising expenditure and sales revenue.
• Analyzing the correlation between employee training hours and performance metrics.
• Investigating the connection between temperature and product quality in a production line.

Helps identify correlations or patterns between variables, facilitating the understanding of cause-and-effect relationships and aiding in decision-making.

How to make a scatter diagram

• Start with collecting data needed for validation. Understand the cause and effect relationship between the two variables.
• Identify dependent and independent variables. The dependent variable plotted along the vertical axis is called the measures parameter. The independent variable plotted along the horizontal axis is called the control parameter.
• Draw the graph based on the collected data. Add horizontal axis and vertical axis name and draw the trend line.
• Based on the trend line, analyze the diagram to understand the correlation which can be categorized as Strong, Moderate and No Relation.  
• Data analysts exploring relationships between variables in research or analytics projects.
• Manufacturing engineers investigating the correlation between process parameters and product quality.
• Sales or marketing teams analyzing the relationship between marketing efforts and sales performance.

Check sheets provide a systematic way to collect, record and present quantitative and qualitative data about quality problems. A check sheet used to collect quantitative data is known as a tally sheet.

It is one of the most popular QC tools and it makes data gathering much simpler.

• To check the shape of the probability distribution of a process
• To quantify defects by type, by location or by cause
• To keep track of the completion of steps in a multistep procedure (as a checklist )
• Tracking the number of defects or errors in a manufacturing process.
• Recording customer complaints or inquiries to identify common issues.
• Monitoring the frequency of equipment breakdowns or maintenance needs.

Provides a structured approach for data collection, making it easier to identify trends, patterns, and areas for improvement.

How to make a checksheet

• Identify the needed information.
• Why do you need to collect the data?
• What type of information should you collect?
• Where should you collect the data from?  
• Who should collect the data?
• When should you collect the data?
• How should you measure the data?
• How much data is essential?

Construct your sheet based on the title, source information and content information (refer to the example below).

Test the sheets. Make sure that all the rows and columns in it are required and relevant and that the sheet is easy to refer to and use. Test it with other collectors and make adjustments based on feedback.

• Quality inspectors or auditors who need to collect data on defects or issues.
• Process operators or technicians responsible for tracking process parameters or measurements.
• Customer service representatives who record customer complaints or inquiries.

Control Chart

The control chart is a type of run chart used to observe and study process variation resulting from a common or special cause over a period of time.

The chart helps measure the variations and visualize it to show whether the change is within an acceptable limit or not. It helps track metrics such as defects, cost per unit, production time, inventory on hand , etc.

Control charts are generally used in manufacturing, process improvement methodologies like Six Sigma and stock trading algorithms.

• To determine whether a process is stable.
• To monitor processes and learn how to improve poor performance.
• To recognize abnormal changes in a process.
• Monitoring the variation in product dimensions during a manufacturing process.
• Tracking the number of customer complaints received per day.
• Monitoring the average response time of a customer support team.

Enables real-time monitoring of process stability, early detection of deviations or abnormalities, and prompt corrective actions to maintain consistent quality.

How to create a control chart

• Gather data on the characteristic of interest.
• Calculate mean and upper/lower control limits.
• Create a graph and plot the collected data.
• Add lines representing the mean and control limits to the graph.
• Look for patterns, trends, or points beyond control limits.
• Determine if the process is in control or out of control.
• Investigate and address causes of out-of-control points.
• Regularly update the chart with new data and analyze for ongoing improvement.
• Production supervisors or operators monitoring process performance on the shop floor.
• Quality control or assurance personnel tracking variation in product quality over time.
• Service managers observing customer satisfaction levels and service performance metrics.

Pareto Chart

The Pareto chart is a combination of a bar graph and a line graph. It helps identify the facts needed to set priorities.

The Pareto chart organizes and presents information in such a way that makes it easier to understand the relative importance of various problems or causes of problems. It comes in the shape of a vertical bar chart and displays the defects in order (from the highest to the lowest) while the line graph shows the cumulative percentage of the defect.

• To identify the relative importance of the causes of a problem.
• To help teams identify the causes that will have the highest impact when solved.
• To easily calculate the impact of a defect on the production.
• Analyzing customer feedback to identify the most common product or service issues.
• Prioritizing improvement efforts based on the frequency of quality incidents.
• Identifying the major causes of delays in project management.

Helps focus improvement efforts on the most significant factors or problems, leading to effective allocation of resources and improved outcomes.

How to create a Pareto chart

• Select the problem for investigation. Also, select a method and time for collecting information. If necessary create a check sheet for recording information.
• Once you have collected the data, go through them and sort them out to calculate the cumulative percentage.
• Draw the graph, bars, cumulative percentage line and add labels (refer to the example below).
• Analyze the chart to identify the vital few problems from the trivial many by using the 80/20 rule . Plan further actions to eliminate the identified defects by finding their root causes.
• Quality managers or improvement teams looking to prioritize improvement initiatives.
• Project managers seeking to identify and address the most critical project risks.
• Sales or marketing teams analyzing customer feedback or product issues.

New air quality management platform to support global clean air action

• CCAC launches an  Air Quality Management Exchange Platform (AQMx) following  UNEA-6 resolution   to increase regional cooperation and action on improving air quality globally.
• The platform will guide city and national air quality managers on how to meet World Health Organization (WHO) Air Quality Guidelines and interim targets. 
• Air pollution causes more than  8 million premature deaths annually and particularly affects poorer places and more vulnerable populations. 

Paris, 5 September 2024 – Ahead of this year’s  International Day of Clean Air and blue skies , the  Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) has developed and launched an  Air Quality Management Exchange Platform (AQMx) designed to help air quality professionals everywhere tackle air pollution. The platform is a one-stop-shop that provides the latest air quality management guidance and tools proposed to meet  WHO Air Quality Guidelines interim targets.

Air pollution knows no borders, and with  99 percent of the global population breathing polluted air, the fight against it involves everyone. This silent and invisible killer is causing more than 8 million premature deaths per year, and often hitting the most vulnerable people in our societies hardest. Due to significant data gaps, the true toll of air pollution around the world is still unknown. Capacity gaps hamper efforts to tackle air pollution - a global climate and health crisis that requires urgent action. 

The platform was developed in response to a resolution passed at this year’s United Nations Environment Assembly, where countries called for increased global cooperation to tackle air pollution by sharing best practices, tools, data, and information. Working directly with air quality managers, AQMx will help to address air quality management capacity gaps, notably with curated guidance across key themes, including on how to go about air quality monitoring, inventory development, and health impact assessments. This will allow decision makers to see a more complete picture of air pollution’s impact and leading to policies that accurately reflect public health needs on a global scale.  For example,  over a third of the population in Africa is unable to access air quality information.  

“Access to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment is a human right, not a luxury for those who can afford it. Tackling air pollution requires cooperation across administrative boundaries, across countries and across key sectors to implement tried and tested measures that cut pollution. With AQMx, we intend to close a capacity gap to create cleaner communities for us all,” said Martina Otto, CCAC’s Head of Secretariat, at the platform launch.  

“Air pollution is nothing less than a public health emergency, and AQMx is a positive step in making evidence available to meaningfully tackle polluted air and meet WHO’s Air Quality Guidelines to protect people’s health around the world,” said Maria Neira, WHO’s Director of Department of Environment, Climate Change and Health.

“One common platform for air quality guidance, bringing together partners from governments, UN agencies, regional organizations, and civil society, has the potential to unlock health benefits for millions of people around the world,” said Jane Burston, the Clean Air Fund’s Chief Executive Officer and founder. “With less than 1 percent of international development funding currently spent on clean air initiatives, we hope AQMx helps to make the case for urgent investment into initiatives that tackle harmful air pollution.”

The platform will expand to allow regional and sub-regional communities to exchange knowledge about air quality management best practices.

Everyone has a role to play in the fight against air pollution, from national and regional governments, international organizations, NGOs, and the private sector. The launch of AQMx represents a unified approach in creating strong communities of practice that will fight for cleaner air for generations to come, to benefit people and the planet.

Quality Management Tools 393SYS

1 Modern Quality Management • Modern quality management • requires customer satisfaction • prefers prevention to inspection • recognizes management responsibility for quality • Noteworthy quality experts include Deming, Juran, Crosby, Ishikawa, Taguchi, and Feigenbaum • Quality; Who’s who 393SYS

Quality Experts • Deming was famous for his work in rebuilding Japan and his 14 points • Juran wrote the Quality Control Handbook and 10 steps to quality improvement • Crosby wrote Quality is Free and suggested that organizations strive for zero defects • Ishikawa developed the concept of quality circles and using fishbone diagrams • Taguchi developed methods for optimizing the process of engineering experimentation • Feigenbaum developed the concept of total quality control 393SYS

Fishbone or Ishikawa Diagram 393SYS

Malcolm Baldrige Award and ISO 9000 • The Malcolm Baldrige Quality Award was started in 1987 to recognize companies with world-class quality • ISO 9000 provides minimum requirements for an organization to meet their quality certification standards • HKMA Quality Award http://www.hkma.org.hk/qa/award.htm 393SYS

2. Quality Planning • It is important to design in quality and communicate important factors that directly contribute to meeting the customer’s requirements • Design of experiments helps identify which variables have the most influence on the overall outcome of a process • Many scope aspects of IT projects affect quality like functionality, features, system outputs, performance, reliability, and maintainability 393SYS

Quality Assurance • Quality assurance includes all the activities related to satisfying the relevant quality standards for a project • Another goal of quality assurance is continuous quality improvement • Benchmarking can be used to generate ideas for quality improvements • Quality audits help identify lessons learned that can improve performance on current or future projects 393SYS

Quality Control • What it is: • *** • The main outputs of quality control are • acceptance decisions • rework • process adjustments • Some tools and techniques include • pareto analysis • statistical sampling • quality control charts • testing 393SYS

3. Pareto Analysis • Pareto analysis involves identifying the vital few contributors that account for the most quality problems in a system • Also called the 80-20 rule, meaning that 80% of problems are often due to 20% of the causes. It is the fundamental postulates underlie the rational for the Statistical SW Quality Assurance. • Pareto diagrams are histograms that help identify and prioritize problem areas. 393SYS

80% of the contribution comes from 20% of the contributors:- • 80% of the engineering is consumed by 20% of the requirements • 80% of the software cost is consumed by 20% of the components • 80% of the errors are caused by 20% of the components • 80% of software scrap and rework is caused by 20% of the errors • 80% of the progress is made by 20% of the people. • … 393SYS

Sample Pareto Diagram 393SYS

Statistical SQA • SQA & Traceability as example on SQA & FTR notes L14 • p209, Pressman. 393SYS

Statistical Sampling and Standard Deviation • Statistical sampling involves choosing part of a population of interest for inspection • The size of a sample depends on how representative you want the sample to be • Sample size formula: Sample size = .25 X (certainty Factor/acceptable error)2 393SYS

Commonly Used Certainty Factors 95% certainty: Sample size = 0.25 X (1.960/.05)2 = 384 90% certainty: Sample size = 0.25 X (1.645/.10)2= 68 80% certainty: Sample size = 0.25 X (1.281/.20)2 = 10 393SYS

Standard Deviation • Standard deviation measures how much variation exists in a distribution of data • A small standard deviation means that data cluster closely around the middle of a distribution and there is little variability among the data • A normal distribution is a bell-shaped curve that is symmetrical about the mean or average value of a population 393SYS

Normal Distribution and Standard Deviation 393SYS

Sigma and Defective Units 393SYS

Quality Control Charts and the Seven Run Rule • A control chart is a graphic display of data that illustrates the results of a process over time. It helps prevent defects and allows you to determine whether a process is in control or out of control • The seven run rule states that if seven data points in a row are all below the mean, above the mean, or increasing or decreasing, then the process needs to be examined for non-random problems 393SYS

Control Chart of 12” ruler 393SYS

Control Chart contiu. • The output of a production process will fluctuate. The causes of fluctuation can just be random or non-random due to desirable/undesirable process change. Control charts graph and measure process data against control limits. Control charts can distinguish the random variation from assignable causes or non-random causes. • We cannot adjust random variation out of a process. Process adjustments for random variation are neither necessary nor desirable. This is over-adjustment or tempering, and it makes the process worse. • We can and must investigate assignable causes (or non-random causes). Points outside the control limits are evidence of process problems. Analyst must investigate every out of control point for an assignable cause. They must record their findings and any corrective actions. For example, a tool adjustment, or change in Formal Technical Review format or worn tooling, may correct the problem. 393SYS

Pattern analyzing of Control Chart 7-Run rule 7-run-rule is used to filter out the random variation in a production process. shows the ‘trends’ that are caused by the ‘assignable causes’ or non-random causes that required investigation and possible corrective action to be taken. 7-run-rule pattern: • seven points above mean value; • seven points below mean value; • seven points or all increasing ; or • seven points all decreasing the patterns are indicators of non-random problems which can be symptom of process out of control. 393SYS

To develop a Control Chart to determine project stability • Plot individual metric values on a chart. • Compute the mean value for the metrics value and plot the line. • Plot the Upper Control Limit and Lower Control Limit. • Compute a standard deviation as (Upper-control-limit - mean)/3. Plot lines one and two standard deviation above and below Am. If any of the standard deviation lines is less than 0.0, it need not be plotted unless the metric being evaluated takes on values that are less than 0.0. • The Std Dev.# is then plotted on the control chart. 393SYS

Statistical Testing Statistical testing is a system testing process in which the objective is to measure the reliability of a system rather than to discover faults. Statistical testing can be combined with reliability growth modeling. Predictions of the final system reliability and when that will be achieved can be made. As failures are discovered, the underlying faults causing these failures are repaired so that the reliability of the system can improve in the course of the testing process A lot of airlines manage dispatch reliability with statistical testing approach. 393SYS

The Cost of Quality • The cost of quality is • the cost of conformance or delivering products that meet requirements and fitness for use • the cost of nonconformance or taking responsibility for failures or not meeting quality expectations 393SYS

Total Quality Cost • Price of nonconformance PONC • Price of Conformance (POC) • peer walkthroughs, inspections • development & impl. QMS, standards, training • setting up & running of quality program • Cost of Quality (COQ) = POC + PONC 393SYS

Costs Per Hour of Downtime Caused by Software Defects 393SYS

Five Cost Categories Related to Quality • Prevention cost: the cost of planning and executing a project so it is error-free or within an acceptable error range • Appraisal cost: the cost of evaluating processes and their outputs to ensure quality • Internal failure cost: cost incurred to correct an identified defect before the customer receives the product • External failure cost: cost that relates to all errors not detected and corrected before delivery to the customer • Measurement and test equipment costs: capital cost of equipment used to perform prevention and appraisal activities 393SYS

Organization Influences, Workplace Factors, and Quality • Study by DeMarco and Lister showed that organizational issues had a much greater influence on programmer productivity than the technical environment or programming languages • Programmer productivity varied by a factor of one to ten across organizations, but only by 21% within the same organization • Study found no correlation between productivity and programming language, years of experience, or salary • A dedicated workspace and a quiet work environment were key factors to improving programmer productivity 393SYS
