Statistical Process Control (SPC)

SPC

The application of statistical techniques to determine whether a process is delivering what the customer wants.

Variation of Outputs

No two services of products are exactly alike because the processes used to produce them contain many sources of variation, even if the processes are working as intended.

Statistical Process Control (SPC)

The sample mean is the sum of the observations divided by the total number of observations.

Statistical Process Control (SPC)

The range is the difference between the largest observation in a sample and the smallest. The standard deviation is the square root of the variance of a distribution.

An estimate of the process standard deviation based on a sample is given by:

σ = standard deviation of a sample

Statistical Process Control (SPC)

Categories of Variation

Control Chart

Time-ordered diagram that is used to determine whether observed variations are abnormal

Statistical Process Control (SPC)

Steps for using a control chart

Take a random sample from the process and calculate a variable or attribute performance measure.

If a statistic falls outside the chart’s control limits or exhibits unusual behavior, look for an assignable cause.

Eliminate the cause if it degrades performance; incorporate the cause if it improves performance. Reconstruct the control chart with new data.

Repeat the procedure periodically.

Type I error

An error that occurs when the employee concludes that the process is out of control based on a sample result that fails outside the control limits, when it fact it was due to pure randomness

Type II error

Example 3.2

For Sunny Dale Bank the time required to serve customers at the drive-by window is an important quality factor in competing with other banks in the city.

Mean time to process a customer at the peak demand period is 5 minutes

Standard deviation of 1.5 minutes

Sample size of six customers

Design an -chart that has a type I error of 5 percent

After several weeks of sampling, two successive samples came in at 3.70 and 3.68 minutes, respectively. Is the customer service process in statistical control?

3-‹#›

Example 3.2

x = 5 minutes

σ = 1.5 minutes

n = 6 customers

z = 1.96

The new process is an improvement.

LCLx = x – zσ/n =

5.0 – 1.96(1.5)/6 = 3.80 minutes

The process variability is in statistical control, so we proceed directly to the -chart. The control limits are

UCLx = x + zσ/n =

5.0 + 1.96(1.5)/6 = 6.20 minutes

Application 3.1

Webster Chemical Company produces mastics and caulking for the construction industry. The product is blended in large mixers and then pumped into tubes and capped.

Webster is concerned whether the filling process for tubes of caulking is in statistical control. The process should be centered on 8 ounces per tube. Several samples of eight tubes are taken and each tube is weighed in ounces.

LCLR = D3 R =

1.864(0.38) = 0.708

0.136(0.38) = 0.052

The range chart is out of control since sample 1 falls outside the UCL and sample 6 falls outside the LCL.

Application 3.2

A sticky scale brings Webster’s attention to whether caulking tubes are being properly capped. If a significant proportion of the tubes aren’t being sealed, Webster is placing their customers in a messy situation. Tubes are packaged in large boxes of 144. Several boxes are inspected and the following numbers of leaking tubes are found:

Sample Tubes Sample Tubes Sample Tubes
