Most quality experts separate quality tools into two categories; quantitative and non-quantitative. Quantitative tools are described as; acceptance sampling, reliability, experimental design, quality function deployment (QFD), failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA), Taguchi’s quality engineering, and statistical process control; control charts, Pareto diagrams, process flow diagrams, scatter diagram, histogram, cause and effect, and check sheets. Non- quantitative tools include; ISO 9000, ISO 14000, total productive maintenance (TPM), management tools, and benchmarking.
The most popular area for quality tools falls under the SPC umbrella. Statistical process control is composed of seven tools that every process technician should be aware of. The use and application of these tools has been proven to improve product quality.
