Problem Solving & 7 QC Tools
Need for this Program
Generally following are the observation on kaizen’s sent by the
suppliers
- Problem Definition and identification is not specific
- No proper flow of Analysis and arriving at the Root cause
- Most of the kaizen’s are one man activity and not the team
- No relation between the Corrective Actions taken and Root
cause
- No action taken on the Potential causes to eliminate the
defects
- Actions are not always recorded in process documentation

Zero Defect Consultants Rev No:01, Date: 01.10.2001 5

Problem Solving & 7 QC Tools


Need for this Program - Contd..
- Benefits are not recorded specific in % of defects vs
Production
- Corrective Action Effectiveness are not monitored over a
period of time after implementation of Kaizen using Kaizen
Monitoring Chart
- Kaizen's are not submitted within a weeks time after
customer complaint ( Flash Report) by which focus and
Importance will be lost

Problem Solving & 7 QC Tools
Introduction
Solving a problem involves
a) Understanding and Description of the Problem
b) Analyzing the Problem and its contributors such as Operator,
Machine, Tools, Jigs, Fixtures, Material, Method and
Components in a assembly etc.
c) Identification of the cause due to which problem has occurred
presently (Root cause)
d) Usage of Statistical Tools such as Why-Why Analysis, Pareto
Diagram, and Cause & Effect Diagram are a must for
identifying the root cause, but generally we tend to use
shortcuts and Judge by present knowledge leading to re-
occurrence of problem

Zero Defect Consultants Rev No:01, Date: 01.10.2001 7

Problem Solving & 7 QC Tools

Introduction
e) More focus to be on permanent solutions rather than
temporary solution because customer always demand
permanent solutions which can be achieved only through
proper analysis and implementation of actions on all Potential
causes and root cause.
g) Corrective and Preventive actions needs to be brought back to
PDCA cycle and Poka Yoke to be initiated to ensure Zero
Defect.
i) Kaizen Sheet is the aid used to ensure the effective
implementation of Corrective and Preventive actions

Introduction to 7 QC Tools
In order to solve the problems effectively, Seven QC tools are
available. These seven QC tools are very simple and effective
tools for data collection, analysis, monitoring and implementing
solutions. Following are the seven QC tools.
1. Check Sheet
2. Graphs
3. Pareto Diagram
4. Cause & Effect Diagram
5. Histogram
6. Scatter Diagram
7. Control Charts
We shall discuss these tools in detail

HISTOGRAM
• Histogram is a graphical representation of data and shows the
frequency of data.
• Histogram provides the easiest way to understand the
distribution of data. It gives the Birds eye view of the
variation in Data set.
• Portrays the information on location, spread and shape that
enables the user to interpret the Process behavior.
• It indicates whether the process is operating under Normal /
