You work as a project manager for BlueWell Inc. Which of the following tools/techniques will you use to demonstrate how a process behaves over time…

You should use the control charts to demonstrate how a process behaves over time,

and when a process is subject to special cause variation,

resulting in an out-of-control condition.

Control charts are graphical representations of different processes. These charts contain the

maximum and minimum values allowed. Control

charts are used to determine whether or not a process is stable or has predictable performance. A

process is considered out of control when

a data point exceeds a control limit or if seven consecutive points are above or below the mean.

Answer option B is incorrect. The Ishikawa diagram (or fishbone diagram or also cause-and-effect

diagram) are diagrams, that shows the

causes of a certain event. A common use of the Ishikawa diagram is to identify potential factors

causing an overall effect. It helps identify

causal factors and contributing causes.

It is known as a fishbone diagram because of its shape, similar to the side view of a fish skeleton. It is

considered as a basic tool of quality

management.

Answer option A is incorrect. A Pareto chart is a special type of bar chart where the values being

plotted are arranged in descending order.

The graph is accompanied by a line graph, which shows the cumulative totals of each category, left

to right. The chart is named after Vilfredo

Pareto, and its use in quality assurance was popularized by Joseph M. Juran and Kaoru Ishikawa.

Answer option C is incorrect. A scatter chart is a type of display using Cartesian coordinates to

display values for two variables for a set of

data. The data is displayed as a collection of points, each having the value of one variable

determining the position on the horizontal axis and

the value of the other variable determining the position on the vertical axis. A scatter diagram shows

the pattern of relationship between two

variables. This tool allows the quality team to study and identify the possible relationship between

changes observed in two variables.

Dependent variables versus independent variables are plotted. The closer the points are to a

diagonal line, the more closely they are related.
