3. Statistical Process Control SPC is a tool for obtaining cost effective quality, achieved by process monitoring and forecasting techniques which are used to predict problems before they occur. (defect prevention)

12. Process Control A process is “In Control” if products vary CONSISTENTLY within expected limits over TIME. Normal expectations when displayed by frequency of occurrence will present a curve or distribution showing a central peak and tapering off smoothly to tails on either side. .5 .5 .5 .5 .4 .6 .5 .4 .6 .5 .6 When the normal distribution exits the process is operating consistently and we can predict the process behavior. .4 .5 .6 .4 .5 .6 .3 .4 .7 .5 .6 .3 .4 .7 .5 .6 .3 .4 .7 .2 .5 .6 .8 .3 .4 .7

13. Controlling a Process 1. To control a process means to keep the bell shape normal. 2. Get the Process to a normal distribution. (Remove assignable causes) You don’t want to control a broken process. 3. Monitor the process property at an interval that can detect deterioration of the property and allow correction before rejections. Example: If the property was effected by a belt that wears over time, checking once a week may be adequate. If the property were to use a batch of epoxy in the working range before it cures to much, checking every 15 minutes would be appropriate. (The time interval is called “Frequency”) 4. Take corrective action before defects are produced.

14. Assignable Causes Easy to identify and correct. (low cost)

15. What is poor Quality? Not meeting customer expectations, implied or specified!

31. Plotting Procedure 1. Take five measurements / data points, noting any decimal points required. 2. If you are using the current date and time skip step 3. 3. Enter your earlier date and time in military format 10/18/03 14:15 in the Override Date/Time cell 4. Enter your data into the cells provided. Sample 1 2 3 4 5 (Yellow cells) (Note: Click on the yellow Cell under the number 1 to start entering data, use the Tab key to move to the next cell.) 5. On the last entry use the down arrow to enter and proceed to the Initials cell (otherwise click the Initials cell). Enter your Initials, Press Tab. 6. Press the "plot button" in the lower right corner and observe that your data point has been plotted. 7. If there appears to be an error in the data, you can click on the defective data and reenter it. Press Tab, then click the Replot Button. 8. Once the point is correctly plotted, Observe if any Run Rules have been violated. If not, enter "none" in the action cell, then click the "Tab then Action Button." (lower right corner). Otherwise, take and log the corrective action taken. 9. Observe that the data cells are empty, indicating a successful transaction. The lower scroll pane (two rows at the bottom of screen) can be used to observe the calculations and action entered. (Just click the down scroll arrow until the last row is displayed. (80 rows maximum can be entered.) Run Rules 1. Any point that crosses the upper or lower control limit on the XBar Chart or the upper control limit on the R Chart. 2. 7 points in a row on one side of the center line on the Bar Chart. 3. 7 points in a continuing upward or downward direction on the Bar Chart or R - Range (lower) chart (Trend). 4. 7 points in a row at the upper and lower extremes (no points on or near the centerline) Bar Chart. 5. 7 points in a row clustered closely around the center line on the X Bar Chart (Capture improvement or speed up the process). 6. 7 points in a row clustered near bottom of R Chart or trending toward bottom (Capture improvement or speed up the process)

32. Run Rules (normal no action required) Any point that crosses the upper or lower control limit on the Xbar Chart or the upper control limit on the R chart. Xbar (upper chart) Range – R (lower chart) * Note random points, some near control lines some near center.

33. Run Rules (when to take action) Any point that crosses the upper or lower control limit on the Xbar Chart or the upper control limit on the R chart. Xbar (upper chart) Range – R (lower chart) * Check for possible bad measurement or data entry error.

34. Run Rules (when to take action - Run) 7 points in a row on one side of the center line on the upper chart. Xbar (upper chart) Or *Check material, lot, operator, machine adjustment…

35. Run Rules (when to take action - trends) 7 points in a continuing downward or upward direction on X chart Xbar (upper chart) Or * Check machine wear, material, method or operator fatigue…

36. Run Rule (when to take action - trends) 7 points in a continuing downward or upward direction on R chart Range R (lower chart) Improving – capture or speed up Or Getting Worse - correct * Check machine wear, material, method or operator fatigue…

37. Run Rule (clustered points) “Over controlled” If bell was normal points would be near the edges. 7 points in a row clustered around the center line on the Xbar chart or clustered around zero (bottom line) on the R Range chart Xbar (upper chart) Improved – capture or speed up Range – R (lower chart) Improved – capture or speed up

38. Run Rules (when to take action – Unusual pattern) No points near the center (possibly bimodal) Xbar (upper chart) *Two lots of material, two operators, selected parts removed…

39. Attribute Data Non-measurable data Good, Bad; Pass, Fail; True, False; Go, NoGo; Present, Missing… Charts: P (Percent Defective), NP (Number Defective) C (Defects per unit), U (Defects per Subgroup) Simple if sample size is constant and equated easily to 100. Ex: Number defective from sample 50 multiply by 2, 25x4, 10x10, 5x20, 2x50 EXAMPLE: 5 bad in sample of 25 (5x4) =20% The software will do the math but keeping a fixed sample size is preferred. Fixed sample size will keep the control lines straight and understood.

41. Plotting Procedure 1. Count out the sample size and note the number defective. 2. If you are using the current date and time skip step 3. 3. Enter your earlier date and time in military format 10/18/03 14:15 in the Override Date/Time cell 4. Enter your data into the cells provided. Sample Size, Qty Defective (Yellow cells) (Note: Click on the yellow Cell to start entering data, use the Tab key and or arrow keys to move to the next yellow cell.) 5. On the last entry use the arrow keys to enter and procede to the Initials cell (otherwise click the Initials cell). Enter your Initials, Press Tab. 6. Press the "plot button" in the lower right corner and observe that your data point has been plotted. 7. If there appears to be an error in the data, you can click on the defective data and reenter it. Press Tab, then click the Replot Button. 8. Once the point is correctly plotted, Observe if any Run Rules have been violated. If not, enter "none" in the action cell, then click the "Tab then Action Button." (lower right corner). Otherwise, take and log the corrective action taken. 9. Observe that the data cells are empty, indicating a successful transaction. The lower scroll pane (two rows at the bottom of screen) can be used to observe the calculations and action entered. (Just click the down scroll arrow until the last row is displayed. (80 rows maximum can be entered.) Run Rules 1. Any point that crosses the upper or lower control limit on the P Chart 2. 7 points in a row on one side of the center line. 3. 7 points in a continuing upward or downward direction on the P chart (Trend). 4. 7 points in a row at the upper and lower extremes (no points on or near the centerline) 5. 7 points in a row clustered near bottom of R Chart or trending toward bottom (Capture improvement or speed up the process)
