1 Introduction
A control chart was invented in the early of 1920’s by Walter A. Shewart in the Bell Telephone Laboratories. In 1928 he was introduced the first Statistical Process Control Charts in the Bell Laboratories to improve the quality of telephones manufactured, he was developed a simple graphical method for the growing range of statistical process control charts (Montgomery,2010).
Quality of a product or services is defined as “its fitness for the use” for which it has been made. Many characteristics of a product determine the quality. They are called quality characteristics. Some of the quality characteristics are shape, weight, size, diameter, strength, colour, hardness, surface finish, reliability and appearance, etc.
In a manufacturing process, all the products will not be exactly a same. Quality will vary from piece to piece. That is, there will be variations in quality characteristics of products. The causes for these variations are found out and analysed. Suitable corrective action is to be taken to minimise the variations within certain limits. This is done to maintain the quality. Statistical quality control charts techniques are used to improvement the quality process in automobile parts manufacturing company.
Quality is a concept of several meanings, subjective and individual to the interpreter. When mentioning that something is of a certain quality, it is assumed and associated to be good in some way. More generally, the definition of quality has
A process that monitors standards by take measurements and corrective action as needed. It is in control when only variation is natural, if variation is assignable then discover cause eliminate it. Take samples to inspect/ measure- reduce inspection time, reduce opportunity of bad quality. Control charts graph of process data over time-show natural and assignable causes. Control charts for variable data (characteristic that is measured, length,height, etc) are X-chart (average) and R-chart (range)must use x and r to get correct results. central limit theorem follow normal curve. When we know . When we don’t know . Control charts for attributes (categorical-defective, good/bad) P-chart (percent) or C-chart
Today’s consumers are constantly trying to judge the quality of products. But what is quality? How and by whom is quality determined? Some would say the designer creates specifications, which in turn dictate the quality of a product. That quality is also based on the acceptable value of a part within a whole product.
Quality is the standard by which a benchmark is set. This may be for a service or a good. Quality is the benchmark by which we think something is not only done right
Service quality - refers to difference between the level of service that is expected from consumers and the perception of the service that is actually received. (Caruana,
Statistical process control is one way to control quality and make sure goals are attained. Statistical methods show that the samples taken can create visual representations that conclude my alarm clock is an effective method to starting my morning process. This ensures that it is operating at its fullest potential.
C. Quality: The degree to which a product or service meets customer requirements and expectations.
Issue: Dynamic Seal, a precision parts manufacturer with a reputation for high quality, does not currently utilize a Statistical Process Control (SPC) system. However, United Airlines (UA), a major customer representing 14% of Dynamic Seal’s business, insists they implement an SPC system or loose United Airlines’ business. In addition Dynamic Seal do not have a sound preventative measure quality control system in place, preferring 100% inspection to cull bad quality, rather than building parts correctly from inception.
* Introduces the construction and use of statistical process control (SPC) charts and an understanding of the relationship between SPC and conformance quality.
The premise of this paper is to identify deficiencies in daily managerial processes by using systematic statistical process controls and make the necessary improvements. The paper will employ various examples and calculations along with supporting data to explain control limits and its importance to the statistical process control. The effects of seasonal factors and its relevance to a process will also be highlighted and how confidence intervals are important in giving insights into data sets that improve the entire statistical process control.

* quality control manager: applies techniques of statistical quality control such as acceptance sampling and control charts to the firm´s products
Total product quality: the total product quality incorporates several indicators depend on product quality.by weighting four factors: perceived total quality, conformance quality, design quality, and long-term market share change.
Thinking about quality factors, I'd like to break them down into several categories. I don't know if there are generally accepted definitions for them, so I will call them: appearance factors, product factors and customer experience factors. Let's talk about them in details.
Again, quality is not part of enduring or disappearing things: quality is, like beauty, held in the eye of the beholder, a person only, which you are, not a mechanical thing like
In small scale automobile part manufacturing company producing a large amount of products. A multiproduct manufacturing facility has the wide process which involves a large number of variables such as quality characteristics. Each and every product has been different quality characteristics which are measured on the manufacturing line. But when multiple products are produced or manufacturing trough a single processing line in multi product manufacturing facility, individual process monitoring strategies are used for monitoring the process of individual parts. So the challenge is that to develop a statistical process control charts for detection and implementation of faults using the quality characteristics.
