In this course, you will learn the theory behind these seven quality tools and will also learn how to take their power to the next level using current computing power.
During the post-war industrial revolution, Kaoru Ishikawa proposed seven basic quality tools to improve quality. These seven tools were the backbone of quality improvement in Japan. All workers, supervisors, and managers were taught these seven tools to solve problems and improve quality.
These tools were initially introduced in the 1970s. They are still relevant even after more than 50 years. We can use the power of computers and Microsoft Excel today to solve complex problems. Many organizations today might not be collecting data using manual check sheets (one of the tools in this list), but the equivalent of that could be a pivot table in Excel.
The seven quality tools covered in this course include:
Cause and effect diagram
Check sheet
Control chart
Histogram
Pareto chart
Scatter diagram
Flow Chart
You will also learn about Run Chart and Stratification. Different sources list the seventh tool differently.
Case Studies:
Ultimately, I will present two case studies to understand how we use these tools in different situations.
The first case study
concerns an organization that found a high repair rate for a painting job. This led to a rework of the paintwork and a waste of time and effort in correcting it.
The second case study
is related to using Control Charts to achieve the required product dimensions.
