Q

Quality Assurance

A

Quality Assurance -

Doing AUDITS, MEASUREMENT COMPARISONS, IMPROVEMENTS and checking appropriate STANDARDS.

Overall PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS and not about inspecting the product for quality or measuring defects!

Q

Marginal Analysis

A

Marginal Analysis -

Optimal QUALITY is REACHED at the point where:

INCREMENTAL VALUE from IMPROVEMENT = INCREMENTAL COST to secure it.

Q

Statistical Independence

A

Statistical Independence -

When the OUTCOMES of TWO PROCESSES NOT LINKED TOGETHER or dependent upon each other, they are called statistically independent.

Example: coin toss - the previous “heads” or “tails” has no consequence upon the next toss.

Q

Mutually Exclusive

A

Mutually Exclusive -

Statistical term that states one choice EXCLUDES the others.

Example: tossing a coin can’t be both “heads” AND “tails”.

Q

Attribute Sampling vs.

Variable Sampling

A

Attribute Sampling vs. Variable Sampling -

Attribute Sampling: binary - the outuput either conforms to quality or it does not.

Example: my car passing the smog test.

Variable Sampling: measures how well the outputs conform to quality.

Example: rating a batch of a product rated on a continuous scale, such as bottle water being produced in factory.

Q

Cost of Quality

A

Cost of Quality -

Cost of NOT doing it RIGHT the FIRST time!

Three types of COSTS:

  1. Prevention Costs - costs associated with satisfying customer requirements by producing a product without defects.
  2. Appraisal Costs - costs expended in examining, inspecting, or testing the product or process to ensure requirements are being met.
  3. Failure Costs - What it costs when things don’t go to plan:
    1. Internal - scrap, re-work, expediting
    2. External - warranty, servicing, recalls

Q

7 Basic Quality Tools Used in Plan Quality Management and Control Quality

A

7 Basic Quality Tools -

  1. Pareto Chart
  2. Flow Charts
  3. Cause-and-effect Diagram
  4. Control Chart
  5. Check Sheet
  6. Histogram
  7. Scatter Diagram

In Plan Quality Management they are discussed and decision to use or not to use, and how to be used. In Control Quality they are put into action.

Process Decision Program Chart

A

​Process Decision Program Chart -

Typically used with TREE DIAGRAMS, these charts let you DECOMPOSE a GOAL into STEPS required to achieve it.

Each step is then REVIEWED for POTENTIAL RISK.

Q

Force Field Analysis

A

Force Field Analysis -

Provides a framework for looking at the factors (forces) that influence a situation.

It looks at forces that are either driving movement toward a goal (helping forces) or blocking movement toward a goal (hindering forces).
