Title 2. CONCEPT OF STATISTICAL QUALITY CONTROL.pdf ✅

PHARMD GURU Page 2  They ensure that whether the products confirm to the specified quality standard or not. CONTROL CHART:  A control chart is a time plot of a statistic, such as a sample mean, range, standard deviation, or proportion, with a center line and tipper and lower control limits.  The limits give the desired range of values for the statistic. When the statistic is outside the bounds, or when its time plot reveals certain patterns, the process may be out of control.  A process is considered in statistical control if it has no assignable causes, only natural variation. PURPOSE & USES OF CONTROL CHARTS: 1. Helps in determining the quality standard of the products. 2. Helps in detecting the chance & assignable variations in the quality standards by setting two control limits. 3. Reveals variations in the quality standards of the products from the desired level. 4. Indicates whether the production process is in control or not. 5. Ensures less inspection cost & time in the process control.

V - Chart/ Mean chart: This chart is constructed for controlling the variations in the average quality standard of the products in a production process. 2. R - Chart: This chart is constructed for controlling the variations in the dispersion or variability of the quality standards of the products in a production process. Example: SAMPLE N.O WEIGHTS 1 2 3 4 5 1 15 10 11 14 2 18 10 8 22 3 19 17 10 13 4 12 19 14 20 20 19 26 12 23 Conversion factors for n = 5, A2= 0.577, D3= 0, D4 = 2.115 Types of control charts Control charts for variables V-Chart R-Chart σ-Chart Control cahrts for attributes P-Chart np-Chart C-Chart
PHARMD GURU Page 4 3. σ - Chart: This chart is constructed to get a better picture of the variations in the quality standard in a process than that is obtained from the range chart provided the standard deviation(σ) of the various samples are readily available. Example: Quality control is maintained in a factory with the help of standard deviation chart. Ten items are chosen in every sample. 18 samples in all were chosen whose ΣS was 8.28. Determine the three sigma limits of σ- chart. You may use the following: n = 10, B3 = 0.28, B4 = 1.72, K =18. Solution: = S/K= 8.28/18= 0.46 UCL =B4.L =1.72x0.46 = 0.7912 LCL =B3.L =0.28x0.46 = 0.1288 CONTROL CHARTS FOR ATTRIBUTES: 1. P-chart: This chart is constructed for controlling the quality standard in the average fraction defective of the products in a process when the observed sample items are classified into defectives & non-defectives.
