So what is SPC?
• A tool to detect variation
• It identifies problems, it does not solve problems
Increases product consistency
Improves product quality
Decreases scrap and rework defects
Increases production output
![Page 5: Spc la](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555a2f79d8b42ab3088b5100/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Statistical Process Control
SPC is a proactive tool which assists in;
• Eliminating waste
• Reducing variation
• Achieving superior quality product
Lower unit cost
![Page 6: Spc la](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555a2f79d8b42ab3088b5100/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Types of Variation
• Common cause
– Due to normal wear and tear e.g. tool wear
•Special Cause
•Abnormal situation e.g tool broken
![Page 7: Spc la](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555a2f79d8b42ab3088b5100/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Normal Distribution & Standard deviation
• Normal distributions are a family of distributions that have the same general shape. They are symmetric with scores more concentrated in the middle than in the tails. Normal distributions are sometimes described as bell shaped. Examples of normal distributions are below.
Standard Deviation: Denoted with the Greek symbol Sigma, the standard deviation provides an estimate of variation. In mathematical terms, it is the second moment about the mean. In simpler terms, you might say it is how far the observations vary from the mean.
![Page 8: Spc la](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555a2f79d8b42ab3088b5100/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Statistical Process Control
• There are two types of SPC charts;• Variables
– for a variables SPC chart we require variable “number” data such as;
• Hole dimension (32.45 mm), Thickness (0.55 mm)
• Temperature (32 degrees), Weight (38.98 grams)
![Page 9: Spc la](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555a2f79d8b42ab3088b5100/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Statistical Process Control
• Attributes– for an attributes SPC chart we require attributes
(visual) data such as;
• Short shot (in an injection moulding operation)
• Off color painted spoiler
• Incomplete assembly
• Insufficient weld

What is Six Sigma
Six Sigma aims for virtually error free business performance.
The Six Sigma standard of 3.4 problems per million opportunities is a response to the increasing expectations of customers and the increased complexity of modern products.

What other global company’s say
• General Electric estimates that the gap between three or four sigma and Six Sigma was costing them between $8 billion and $12 billion per year in inefficiencies and lost productivity.

that can be counted)• when you wish to determine the proportion of
nonconforming products in a group being inspected
• from samples of equal or unequal size

p charts• Methodology for the calculation of p
charts– Determine the subgroup size typically >50 units
– Establish the frequency of inspection
– Collate data - Determine the number of nonconforming products from that subgroup
– Record the number of parts defective onto p-chart
– Determine the proportion defective i.e number defective/number in subgroup
– Plot this onto the p-chart

p charts
• Class Exercise– Using the data in Appendix 5 calculate the
UCL and LCL for the p chart– Plot the data onto the charts and identify
any out of control conditions

Number of Nonconforming productsnp charts
• When to use a np chart• when data is of attribute type (an attribute
that can be counted)• when it is more important that you know the
number of nonconforming products in a group being inspected
• when sample sizes are of equal size

np charts
• Methodology for the calculation of np charts– Determine the subgroup size typically >50 units
– Establish the frequency of inspection
– Collate data - Determine the number of nonconforming products from that subgroup
– Record the number of parts defective onto np-chart
– Plot this data onto the np-chart

Number of Nonconformity's c charts• When to use a c chart• when data is of attribute type (an attribute
that can be counted)• when the nonconformity's are distributed
throughout a product e.g. number of defects on a painted part, number of flaws in a assembly operation
• when nonconformity's can be found from multiple sources or attributed to multiple sources

c charts• Methodology for the calculation of c charts
– Ensure inspection sample sizes are equal e.g. number of parts, specified area or volume
– Establish the frequency of inspection– Determine the number of nonconformity's
found in that sample– Record the number of nonconformity's onto c-
chart– Plot this data onto the c-chart

• When to use a u-chart• when data is of attribute type (an attribute that can
be counted)• when the number of nonconformity's are
distributed throughout a product (e.g. number of defects on a painted part, number of flaws in a assembly operation) given varying sample sizes
• when nonconformity's can be found from multiple sources or attributed to multiple sources

Number of Nonconformity's per unit u Chart
• Methodology for the calculation of u charts– Define what will be inspected– Establish the frequency of inspection– Determine the number of nonconformity's found
in that sample– Divide the number of nonconformity's found by
the sample size– Record the proportion of nonconformity's onto
the u chart– Plot this data onto the u-chart

Auditing SPC
1. Are special characteristics being measured using SPC/Cpk?
2. Is their a link from the customer’s designated special characteristics to what the organisation is monitoring?
3. What is the acceptance criteria the organisation is using?
4. How does the organisation determine which SPC chart to use
5. What training has been provided to people using SPC charts
6. Is the organisation able to interpret control charts?
![Page 66: Spc la](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555a2f79d8b42ab3088b5100/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

Auditing SPC
7. Check calculation of a sample of SPC charts
8. Does the organisation know what to do when there is an adverse trend or point go outside of the control lines
9. How often does the organisation recalculate control lines? And do they follow this process?
10. Does the sample size/frequency in the Control Plan or other coincide with what the organisation is in fact checking?
11. Is the IMTE calibrated?
