 A trend violation is any upward or
downward movement of five or
more consecutive points or drifts
of seven or more points (10-20

Quality Control Tool
Scatter Diagrams
Scatter Diagrams
Purpose:
Purpose:
To identify the correlations that might exist
between a quality characteristic and a factor that
might be driving it
A scatter diagram shows the correlation between
two variables in a process.
 These variables could be a Critical To Quality
(CTQ) characteristic and a factor affecting it
two factors affecting a CTQ or two related
quality characteristics.
 Dots representing data points are scattered on
the diagram.
 The extent to which the dots cluster together
in a line across the diagram shows the strength
with which the two factors are related.
Scatter Diagrams
How is it done?:
How is it done?:
• Decide which paired factors you want to examine. Both factors
must be measurable on some incremental linear scale.
• Collect 30 to 100 paired data points.
• Find the highest and lowest value for both variables.
• Draw the vertical (y) and horizontal (x) axes of a graph.
• Plot the data
• Title the diagram
The shape that the cluster of dots takes will tell you something about the
relationship between the two variables that you tested.
Scatter Diagrams
• If the variables are correlated,
when one changes the other
probably also changes.
• Dots that look like they are
trying to form a line are strongly
correlated.
• Sometimes the scatter plot may
show little correlation when all
the data are considered at once.
 Stratifying the data, that is,
breaking it into two or
more groups based on
some difference such as
the equipment used, the
time of day, some
variation in materials or
differences in the people
involved, may show
surprising results
Scatter Diagrams
• You may occasionally get scatter
diagrams that look boomerang- or
banana-shaped.
To analyze the strength of the
correlation, divide the scatter plot into
two sections.
Treat each half separately in your
analysis
Benefits:
• Helps identify and test probable causes.
• By knowing which elements of your
process are related and how they are
related, you will know what to control or
what to vary to affect a quality
characteristic.

  • 36. Scatter Diagrams Purpose: Purpose: To identify the correlations that might exist between a quality characteristic and a factor that might be driving it A scatter diagram shows the correlation between two variables in a process.  These variables could be a Critical To Quality (CTQ) characteristic and a factor affecting it two factors affecting a CTQ or two related quality characteristics.  Dots representing data points are scattered on the diagram.  The extent to which the dots cluster together in a line across the diagram shows the strength with which the two factors are related.
  • 37. Scatter Diagrams How is it done?: How is it done?: • Decide which paired factors you want to examine. Both factors must be measurable on some incremental linear scale. • Collect 30 to 100 paired data points. • Find the highest and lowest value for both variables. • Draw the vertical (y) and horizontal (x) axes of a graph. • Plot the data • Title the diagram The shape that the cluster of dots takes will tell you something about the relationship between the two variables that you tested.
  • 38. Scatter Diagrams • If the variables are correlated, when one changes the other probably also changes. • Dots that look like they are trying to form a line are strongly correlated. • Sometimes the scatter plot may show little correlation when all the data are considered at once.  Stratifying the data, that is, breaking it into two or more groups based on some difference such as the equipment used, the time of day, some variation in materials or differences in the people involved, may show surprising results
  • 39. Scatter Diagrams • You may occasionally get scatter diagrams that look boomerang- or banana-shaped. To analyze the strength of the correlation, divide the scatter plot into two sections. Treat each half separately in your analysis Benefits: • Helps identify and test probable causes. • By knowing which elements of your process are related and how they are related, you will know what to control or what to vary to affect a quality characteristic.

Editor's Notes

  • #1: Introduction: 22 years as quality professional Certified Quality Engineer Certified SW Quality Engineer RAB trained auditor ASQ LI Section Chairman & programs coordinator
  • #3: Why are we doing this? Because companies with quality programs make more profit. Return on investment is increased.
  • #4: Identify – must be hands on to recognize the problem Define – Knowing that there is a problem, set up the conditions to sole it Investigate – perform tests and collect data so you can react to facts. Seat of the pants decision making is forbidden. Analyze – Use the quality tools to aid in understanding the problem Solve – Using the data and quality tools come up with the solution and implement it. When implementing the solution it is imperative that the management monitor the implementation at every step. People are resistant to change and must be hounded to ensure it is implemented as envisioned. This is why it is good to have employees involved in the process integral to the solution. It is also the idea behind suggestion programs. Confirm – Follow up!
  • #5: Cause and Effect diagrams – Ishikawa diagrams of Fishbone diagrams Top down and Linear flow Simple check sheets which lead to Histograms Histograms leading to Pareto charts Pareto charts Scatter charts All of these tools are related
  • #6: Brainstorming Rules Best in a diverse group of people Record ideas in a visible way – black board, easel… All ideas are valid Go around room until ideas are exhausted Discuss ideas
  • #8: Man, material, machine, method, environment, measurement (sometimes) Separate various causes into identifiable groups Good basis for showing you where data should be collected
  • #9: Brainstorm the causes under each category Sometimes just performing the fishbone diagram will enable the problem to be resolved by understanding
  • #17: In the top chart we see two operators and two machines. In the morning both operators and both machines seem to be working well. However in the afternoon we see both operators are more prone to defects and the machine two is very prone to problems. We conclude there may be some operator fatigue involved AND that there is some condition on machine two that needs to be investigated. Look for something that affects on machine but not the other like sun glare… Conditions Workers Material
  • #19: Displays distributions Remember the bell curve from school… a few Fs many Bs and Cs a few As.
  • #20: A histogram is a picture of the statistical variation in your process. Not only can histograms help you know which processes need improvement they can also help you track that improvement This is a process that has too much variation to meet specifications no matter how it is centered. Action must be taken to reduce variation in this process
  • #22: Column graph in rank order 80% of problems related by 20% of causes The vital few and the trivial many – Dr. Juran Identifies problems to be worked first
  • #23: Conclusion: We need to concentrate on dents Its good that there are not many gaps because they are very expensive. TRAP This works sometimes but another type of chart is frequently better
  • #24: Defects times cost Gap becomes the obvious place to start corrective actions Costs more than all others put together!!!
  • #25: Now that you know which area to look from the Cause and Effect Diagrams Brainstorming Flow Charts Check sheets Histograms Pareto Charts you need some basic information on how to monitor processes.
  • #27: Assignable cause – also known as special cause Specific problems Need to be identified quickly to stabilize process Dull/broken drill, incorrect tool… Common cause Normal Hard to eliminate Fixed by changes to process Example is run out in a drill press.
  • #28: There are many types of control charts. Based on the type of data you collect there is a chart for you. Make decisions based on type of data and sample size. VARIABLE CHARTS X bar using R - small sample size – 3 to 5 <7 controls X bar using S – large sample size - >7 IndX using MR - when rational subgroups are not possible ATTRIBUTE CHARTS P chart – sample is large and changeable Np chart - sample is large constant C chart – constant unit – one item – defects per unit U chart – changeable average defects per unit
  • #30: The patterns in the run chart can help you find where to look for assignable causes of variation. A Run Chart can show you trends or help pinpoint unusual events.
  • #33: Trends indicate that the process may not be in control One point beyond 3 sigma 2 of 3 points between 2 and 3 sigma 4 of 5 points above2 sigma 8 points in a row in any zone
  • #36: Shows relationship between two variables
  • #39: To control variation in any process -it is absolutely essential that you understand which causes are generating which effects.
