Basic 7 QC Tools


1)Cause-and-effect diagram (also called Ishikawa or fishbone chart): Identifies many possible causes for an effect or problem and sorts ideas into useful categories.
2)Check sheet: A structured, prepared form for collecting and analyzing data; a generic tool that can be adapted for a wide variety of purposes.
3)Control charts: Graphs used to study how a process changes over time.
4) Histogram: The most commonly used graph for showing frequency distributions, or how often each different value in a set of data occurs.
5) Pareto chart: Shows on a bar graph which factors are more significant.
6) Scatter diagram: Graphs pairs of numerical data, one variable on each axis, to look for a relationship.
7) Stratification: A technique that separates data gathered from a variety of sources so that patterns can be seen (some lists replace “stratification” with “flowchart” or “run chart”).

In My Next Post i will Briefly Explain about the Each tool..
