Omni Center Resource Center Client Login Supplier Login ... Industry Focus Quality Theorists Drs. Walter A. Shewhart W. Edwards Deming , and Genichi Taguchi are three leading theorists who have consistently lead the way in helping industry and other organizations establish increasingly higher benchmarks for quality and performance. They are recognized as guideposts for domestic and global business. Their theories and methods have a very real role in today’s language management processes. Dr. Walter A. Shewhart (1891 - 1967) Trained as a physicist at the Universities of Illinois and California, Dr. Shewhart joined Western Electric Company in 1918. Western Electric manufactured hardware for Bell Telephone, a company that placed significant importance on the reduction of variation in the manufacturing process. Bell Telephone understood that reactive, continual process-adjustment in response to variation indeed increased variation and thus adversely affected quality To address the problem Dr. Shewhart introduced the “Control Chart” as a means of distinguishing between “assignable cause” and “chance cause.” He strongly advocated bringing production processes into “Statistical Control.” In this condition there would be only chance-cause variation and it would be tightly controlled, leading to greater precision in predicting future output, and economically managing the production process. Dr. Shewhart is credited with introducing the respected quality tool –

64. Spctoolkit resemblance to the control chart technique described in walter shewhart s writings. This month, I will discuss four myths about shewhart s charts. http://www.qualitydigest.com/sep96/spctool.html

spctoolkit by Donald J. Wheeler Control charts are often misused because of a failure to read Shewhart's writings carefully. Myths About Shewhart's Charts The control charts described in many current technical articles bear little, if any, resemblance to the control chart technique described in Walter Shewhart's writings. Part of this problem can be attributed to novices teaching neophytes, while part is due to the failure to read Shewhart's writings carefully. Therefore, to help the reader differentiate control chart myths from foundations, this column will focus on both. This month, I will discuss four myths about Shewhart's charts. Next month, I will discuss four foundations of Shewhart's charts. Myth One : Data must be normally distributed before they can be placed on a control chart. While the control chart constants were created under the assumption of normally distributed data, the control chart technique is essentially insensitive to this assumption. This insensitivity is what makes the control chart robust enough to work in the real world as a procedure for inductive inference. In August, this column showed the robustness of three-sigma limits with a graphic showing some very nonnormal curves. The data don't have to be normally distributed before you can place them on a control chart. The computations are essentially unaffected by the degree of normality of the data. Just because the data display a reasonable degree of statistical control, doesn't mean that they will follow a normal distribution. The normality of the data is neither a prerequisite nor a consequence of statistical control.

Surfstat. australia : an online text in introductory Statistics STATISTICAL INFERENCE STATISTICAL CONTROL CHARTS Common and Special Causes of Variation Walter Shewhart In the 1920's Walter Shewhart developed the idea of the control chart to help decide when the output of a process was part of " a stable system of chance causes", or whether there was an " assignable cause ". Shewhart viewed a stable system as one whose variation arose as the result of many small perturbations (which we call common cause variation ); for a stable process the observations could be described by a probability distribution - the system is said to be "in a state of statistical control", or simply, in control . An unusually large deviation suggested that the system had been disturbed and hence there was an assignable cause for the disturbance - the system is out of control , or unstable. W. Edwards Deming Deming substituted the term special cause for assignable cause. Deming said that uncovering special causes was the responsibility of the local work force (those who had day-to-day contact with the process). Common causes were part of the system. The system is the responsibility of management. If the common cause variation is too large, it is the responsibility of management to change the system. Deming, stated that 85% of the problems with processes were system problems; later he increased this to over 94%, based on his own experience. Some authors regard this sharp delineation between special causes and common causes, workforce responsibility and management responsibility, as overly simplistic. For example, when a special cause is signalled, and its cause found (rarely an easy task), the local workforce may not have the authority to fix up the problem. Nevertheless, the distinction between special and common causes of variability is a useful one, and the recognition of responsibility assignments to the workforce for sporadic problems and to management for system problems is generally sound.

A medical examiner is a physician who has studied pathology and forensics. A coroner is an elected official who serves for one or more terms of four years each. The majority of coroners have some medical, law enforcement or funeral service background. Coroners who are not doctors must have on staff a forensic pathologist, which I do. Dr. Brian Mitchell is our forensic pathologist. He normally performs eight to ten autopsies per week. What prepared you to become coroner? Within the last year, state law enforcement developed the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System (ILEAS) mutual aid plan. As coroner, I am part of that mutual aid system. My officers are technically part of law enforcement. By Illinois statute, I have the same powers as the county sheriff and am one of the few people who can arrest the sheriff. In the event that something happens to the sheriff, by Illinois statute, I would become sheriff. What role did your staff play in Utica, Illinois, during the recent tornado disaster?

WORLD VIEW: A New Department in Quality Progress Quality Progress , the monthly refereed journal of the American Society for Quality (ASQ), has a bimonthly department called “World View” devoted to international aspects of quality and productivity improvement. We are looking for authors to write short articles (approximately 1,500 words) on quality improvement initiatives around the world. This could include descriptions of professional organizations, national initiatives, training programs, or successful improvement projects. This is an opportunity for quality professionals outside the United States to showcase improvement activities to a worldwide audience. The modern quality revolution, and the industrial revolution that preceded it, developed from an international exchange of ideas. Walter Shewhart acknowledged the contributions of German authors. Deming took Shewhart s ideas (and some of his own) to Japan in 1950. At that time, many Japanese executives visited the United States to learn the secrets of U.S. productivity. By the early 1980s, however, the flow of visitors had reversed, with many U.S. executives visiting Japan to learn the secrets of Japanese quality. Today, quality improvement initiatives have touched virtually every aspect of human existence in all parts of the world.

The Origins and Purposes of Several Traditions in Systems Theory and Cybernetics Stuart A. Umpleby The George Washington University Research Program in Social and Organizational Learning Washington, DC 20052 umpleby@gwu.edu and Eric B. Dent The George Washington University Administrative Sciences Program Washington, DC 20052 edent@gwu.edu Published in Cybernetics and Systems: An International Journal, The Origins and Purposes of Several Traditions in Systems Theory and Cybernetics Stuart A. Umpleby and Eric B. Dent The George Washington University Washington, DC 20052 ABSTRACT Introduction Systems science is generally said to have emerged during and after World War II, although there were precursors to the basic ideas. The people who created each school of thought were working largely independently, although many of them knew each other. They came from different disciplines, they were working on different problems, they formulated different variations of the principles of systems and cybernetics, and they often chose to affiliate with different academic societies. The authors find that students today tend to speak of systems theory and cybernetics as one field. However, in our experience, it is important to distinguish the different traditions. Scientific ideas are invented to solve particular problems. In this sense, they are answers to questions. Understanding an answer requires understanding the question which generated it. In our experience, students learn concepts much more quickly and easily when the original problem which led to the creation of the idea is described. Another reason for distinguishing the different research traditions in the history of systems science is that people familiar with different traditions may have quite different understandings of the field. An awareness of the different traditions may help to promote communication and eventual integration of the field.

Pre-publication history Background Inadequate cervical smears cannot be analysed, can cause distress to women, are a financial burden to the NHS and may lead to further unnecessary procedures being undertaken. Furthermore, the proportion of inadequate smears is known to vary widely amongst providers. This study investigates this variation using Shewhart's theory of variation and control charts, and suggests strategies for addressing this. Methods Cervical cytology data, from six laboratories, serving 100 general practices in a former UK Health Authority area were obtained for the years 2000 and 2001. Control charts of the proportion of inadequate smears were plotted for all general practices, for the six laboratories and for the practices stratified by laboratory. The relationship between proportion of inadequate smears and the proportion of negative, borderline, mild, moderate or severe dyskaryosis as well as the positive predictive value of a smear in each laboratory was also investigated.

76. Quality For Business Reducing Variability walter shewhart. At the end of the eighteenth century, the fundamental problem the industrial revolution had to deal with was producing identical parts. http://www.thedecalogue.com/Papers/thevoice.htm

Articles The Voice of the Process The aim of this article is to try and clarify what the prerequisites are for building Quality (with a capital Q). The first step is to understand what variation is. Once we have an understanding, we can recognize how the two approaches to variation – conformance to specifications versus consistency of processes – are irreconcilable. Quality means ( ) “On Target with Minimum Variance.” Walter Shewhart At the end of the eighteenth century, the fundamental problem the industrial revolution had to deal with was producing identical parts. This problem was (and still is) the source of enormous difficulties. We all know that no two things are exactly alike, so manufacturers had to settle for making things that were “similar enough”. The concept of “specification” thus arose from the need to define how similar two things had to be so they could be categorized as “good” (within specs) and “bad” (out of specs and therefore to be scrapped.) This distinction did not help manufacturers to make more parts within specs, nor did it help them understand the reason for non-conformities. The only thing this method allowed them to do was separate the wheat from the chaff at the end of the production line. The production process was more or less what you can see in figure 1.
