What is the difference between attribute and variable charts?
A variable control chart is used when the quality characteristic can be measured numerically. And the attribute control charts are used when the quality characteristics cannot be measured numerically; hence the observations are classified as defectives and non-defectives.What is the difference between a variable and an attribute?
In statistical studies, variables are the quantifiable values or sets that vary over time. Attributes are the characteristic of a thing related to quality that is not quantifiable.What is the difference between attributes and variables in quality control?
Characteristics that are measurable and are expressed on a numerical scale are called variables like, length, width, height, diameter, surface finish, etc. A quality characteristic that cannot be measured on a numerical scale is expressed as an attribute.- Both variable data and attribute data measure the state of an object or a process, but the kind of information that each describes differs. Variable data involve numbers measured on a continuous scale, while attribute data involve characteristics or other information that you can't quantify.

Part 8: Attributes Control Charts
O ur focus for the prior publications in this series has been on introducing you to Statistical Process Control (SPC) - what it is, how and why it works, and how to use various tools to determine where to focus initial e?orts to use SPC in your company. SPC is most e?ective when focused on a few key areas as opposed to measuring any- thing and everything. With that in mind, we described how to: Use Pareto analysis and check sheets to select projects (Part 3) Construct ?owcharts to build consensus on the steps involved and help de?ne where quality problems might be occurring (Part 4)Create cause-and-e?ect diagrams to identify potential causes of a problem (Part 5)• Design experiments to hone in on the true cause of the problem (Part 6)
Use the primary SPC tool - control charts - for day-to-day monitoring of key process variables to ensure the process remains stable and predictable over time (Part 7) Variables control charts are useful for monitoring variables data - things you measure and express with numbers, such as length, thickness, moisture content, glue viscosity, and density. However, not all quality characteristics can be expressed this way. Sometimes, quality checks are simply acceptable/unacceptable or go/no-go. For these situations, we need to use attributes control charts. It is important, however, to not lose sight of the primary goal: Improve quality, and in so doing, improve customer satisfaction and the company's pro?tability.How can we be sure our process stays stable
through time?In an example that continues throughout this series, a quality improvement team from XYZ Forest Products Inc. (a ?ctional company) determined that size out of speci?cation for wooden handles (herea?er called out-of-spec handles) was the most frequent and costly quality problem. ?e team identi?ed the process steps where problems may occur, brainstormed potential causes, and conducted an experiment to determine how speci?c process variables (wood moisture content, species, and tooling) in?uenced the problem. ?e team's experiment revealed that moisture content as well as an interaction between wood species and tooling a?ect the number of out-of-spec handles. ?ey began mon- itoring moisture content. Because moisture content data are variables data, the team constructed and interpreted these data with X-bar and R control charts.

2What if the team instead chooses to
monitor data such as handle dimen- sions, as they were doing when they initially identi?ed the problem? ?ey could measure handles with a custom measuring device that has machined dimensions for the upper and lower limits for acceptable handle speci?ca- tions. If the handle is too large to pass through the device at the upper limit or small enough to pass through the device at the lower limit, it is consid- ered out of spec. ?is type of device is commonly known as a go/no-go gauge (Figure 1).Instead of taking a sample of ?ve
handles and obtaining moisture con- tent data (e.g., values of 6.5%, 7.1%, etc.), the team might take a sample of 50 handles every few hours, check them with a go/no-go gauge and dis- cover that ?ve are out of spec. ?is type of data is not suitable for variables control charts, but the team still needs to analyze the data and determine whether variability in the process is within the expected range. For this sit- uation, an attributes control chart is the tool to use.Figure 1. Example go/no-go gauge.

which to use? Whenever possible, it's best to use variables data. ?is type of data provides more detailed and helpful informa- tion for troubleshooting and process improvement. For example: If the XYZ team uses digital calipers to mea- sure handle size and discovers that variability of handle size is acceptable but average handle size is 0.003 inches over target, they would have useful information for how to adjust the process. Further, they might even deter- mine that a mere 0.003 inches over target isn't enough to bother with! On the other hand, if the team uses a go/no-go gauge, all they might learn is that the fraction of out-of-spec handles has increased. ?is is helpful but doesn't pro- vide enough information to know where to begin troubleshooting. Without further analysis, the team will not know the direction (too big, too small, or both?) and magnitude (0.003 inches or 0.3 inches?) of the variability. Also, sample sizes for attributes data are generally much larger. In fact, the lower the rate of nonconformities, the larger the sample size must be. For example, if the rate drops to 1 in 1000 and you are taking samples of 100 items, the odds of seeing an out-of-spec part are very low. ?e chart would simply be a ?at line at 0, which isn't very helpful for process monitoring. ?is is a problem because companies typically want to spend as little time as possible collecting samples. However, there are situations where attributes data are the only choice. Evaluating packaging appearance is a good example. Is the product labeled correctly? Is the label in the correct location? Is the packaging free of grease marks and forkli? tracks? ?ese are all yes/no decisions. And in many situations, attributes inspection data already exist. Companies o?en have historical data on defect counts that can be used to construct attributes control charts. 3Attributes control charts
?ere are several types of attributes control charts: p charts: for fraction nonconforming in a sample; sample size may vary np charts: for number nonconforming in a sample; sample size must be the same u charts: for count of nonconformities in a unit (e.g., a cabinet or piece of furniture); number of units evaluated in a sample may vary c charts: for count of nonconformities in a unit; number of units evaluated in a sample must be the same Of these chart types, the p chart is the most common in the wood products indus- try. ?erefore, this publication focuses on how to construct and interpret p charts. See the resources listed in the "For more information" section at the end of this publica- tion for details on the other chart types. Like variables control charts, attributes control charts are graphs that display the value of a process variable over time. For example, we might measure the number of out-of-spec handles in a batch of 50 items at 8:00 a.m. and plot the fraction non- conforming on a chart. We would then repeat the process at regular time intervals. Attributes control charts include points (in this case, the fraction nonconforming 1 in a sample), a centerline that represents the overall average of the variable being moni- tored, and upper and lower limits known as control limits. Many details about using p charts are identical to what we described in Part 7 for variables control charts. So let's return to our example and see how the XYZ team con- structed and interpreted a p chart.Example: XYZ Forest Products Inc. uses an
attributes control chartCollect data
Previously, the quality improvement team at XYZ Forest Products Inc. designed an experiment and used a go/no-go gauge to measure size out of speci?cation for batches of 50 handles made with all combinations of poplar and birch at 6% and 12% moisture content, and with existing and new tooling. Each combination was run ?ve times (?ve replicates). ?at amounts to eight combinations of species, moisture content, and tool- ing and 40 batches (2000 handles!). Table 1 repeats the results of that experiment. 1As discussed in Part 3, the terms nonconforming and nonconformity are typically preferred over the terms defective
and defect. A nonconforming product fails to meet one or more speci?cations, and a nonconformity is a speci?c type
of failure. A nonconforming product may be termed defective if it contains one or more defects that make it un?t or
unsafe for use. Confusion of these terms has resulted in misunderstandings in product liability lawsuits.

Can the team use these data to create a p chart? Certainly. However, in practice, we need another critical piece of information: order of production. Remember that control charts are intended to display the results of samples taken from a production process as they are being produced. Because good experimental design calls for randomizing the sequence of the runs 2 the results in Table 1 are probably not in sequence. But for the sake of this discussion, we will assume the data are in sequence (that is, batch 1 was run at 8:00 a.m., batch 2 at 9:00 a.m., and so on). 2If the outcome could be a?ected as a result of timing or sequence of runs (such as dulling of the tool), di?erences in
results between early and late batches are likely to be due to timing as much as to the variables being tested. Therefore,
it is good practice in experimentation to randomize the order of the runs. 5Analyze data
Data analysis for p charts is simpler than that for variables control charts. For each sample, we simply need to calculate p (the fraction nonconforming in the sample) by dividing the number nonconforming in the sample by the sample size.For batch 1, this is: 5/50 = 0.1 (10%)
For variables control charts, we use one chart to monitor the average (X-bar chart) and another to monitor the variability (range or R chart). ?ere is only one chart for p charts. As with variables control charts, we plot data on a p chart with a centerline and control limits that are plus and minus three standard deviations from the average. ?e centerline is the average rate of nonconforming product. ?e average fraction non- conforming on a p chart is represented by the symbol p (p bar). In our XYZ example, there were 216 nonconforming (out-of-spec) handles out of 2000 measured. p = 216/2000 = 0.108 (10.8%) ?is means that size was out of speci?cation for about 10.8% of samples. Now, we need to estimate the standard deviation of p to calculate the control limits.Calculate control limits
In Part 7, we discussed the normal distribution for variables control charts in detail. For p charts, the underlying statistical distribution is known as the binomial distribution. ?e binomial distribution is the probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of independent conforming/nonconforming (yes/no) experiments, each of which yields success with probability p. From statistical theory, we know that the standard deviation (s.d.) of a binomial variable p is: where n is the sample size (50 in this example). ?erefore, the three-standard-devi- ation control limits for a p chart are: where n is the average sample size (50 for this example, since all the batches were of size 50). ?erefore, the centerline is 0.108 (the average fraction nonconforming of all the samples). ?e upper control limit is 0.240. Since the lower control limit is negative, it is set to zero (the cluster of three dots at the end means "therefore").quotesdbs_dbs17.pdfusesText_23[PDF] explain the mechanism of esterification of carboxylic acid
