Steps of Problem
Solving Process
1. Identifying and Selecting the Problem.
2. Analyzing the Problem.
3. Generating Potential Solutions.
4. Selecting and Planning the Solution.
5. Implementing the Recommended
Solution.
6. Evaluating and Selecting the Solution.
Check Sheets
Simple organized way to collect data
as per the frequency.
Important when frequent failures at
work.
Data collection based on sample
observations in order to identify
patterns.
Used for accountability purpose.
Check Sheets
The main use of Check Sheets are:
It provides clear picture about how
often and what type of problems
occur.
It distinguishes between fact and
opinion.
Histogram
A diagram showing the frequency of
occurrence of a given number or a given
range of number is known as frequency
distribution diagram or histogram.
Histogram is a bar chart showing the
distribution pattern of observations
grouped in convenient class interval and
arranged in order of magnitude.
Histogram is visual representation of
spread of distribution of data.
Histogram
The various types of distributions are:
1.
2.
3.
Plateau distribution.
4.
Comb distribution.
5.
Skewed distribution.

Guidelines for Histogram Categories:
Easy to construct but more difficult to
interpret.
To get meaningful data, select the
category size carefully.

Scatter Diagram
Scatter diagram or scatter plots are used to
determine whether relationship really exists
between two process characteristics and the
direction of the relationship.
A scatter diagram graphically illustrates the
relationship between the variables, typically
based on quantitative data.
They reveal bi-variable relationships, that is
relationship between pair of variables, such as
number of defects per batch against changes
in the speed of production line or production
time per unit against hours of training.
Scatter Diagram
1. Collect at least 30 sets of paired samples of related
data (50 to 100 sets are more appropriate) and
construct a data sheet.
2. Find the lowest and the highest values of X-axis and
Y-axis.
3. Draw the horizontal and vertical axis and plot the
readings. If the relationship between the two data is
of cause and effect, the causes values are usually
marked as X and the effect values on Y-axis. X value
is an independent variable and the Y a dependent
value (variable).
4. Plot the data on the chart. There could be positive
correlation, negative correlation or no correlation
between variables.

Stratification
Segregating a group of measurements,
observations or any other data into
several sub-groups on the basis of certain
characteristics is called stratification.
It is an important tool for quality
improvement.
Stratification is nothing but segregation
or reporting the data machine-wise,
operator-wise,
shift-wise
etc.
for
identifying the influencing factors.
Stratification
Example: Breakdown of machines in a
plant.
The plant has 110 breakdowns in a year.
If this information is properly segregated or
stratified, it would enable the management to
plan action for systematic plant maintenance.
50 breakdowns in Machine I
20 breakdowns in Machine II
25 breakdowns in Machine III
15 breakdowns in Machine IV
Control Charts
Originally developed by Walter Shewhart (1920).
Perfected and used by Edward Deming in 1950.
85 percent of improvement opportunities come
from changes in the system which are
managements responsibility, while 15 percent are
within an individual employees control.
A control chart can be used to discover how much
variability in a process is due to random variations
and how much is due to unique events, in order to
determine if a process is under statistical control.
Control Charts
A control chart is simply a run chart to which
two horizontal lines called control limits are
added, the Upper Control Limit (UCL) and
Lower Control Limit (LCL) on either side of the
process average.
Control Charts
There are two types of control charts:
Variable Control Charts. Samples are
expressed in quantitative characteristics
units of measurement such as length,
weight and time.
Attributes Control Charts. Sample reflect
qualitative characteristics such as is
defective/ is not defective or go/ no go.
