6 Section I: SPC Basic Methods (Dr Brent James) Learning Objectives Review basic concepts of SPC Different types of variability Different types of data and charts o Binomial: np, p charts o Poisson: c, u charts o Normal: Xbar & S charts (or Xbar & R) (or XmR??) Chart construction and interpretation 2 6

7 Review of SPC Slides and case study from Brent? 3 Applications of Control Charts. Detect and monitor process Variation over time. 2. Distinguish Special Cause variation from Common Cause Variation. 3. Common language for discussing process performance.. Determine process capability 5. Develop a plan for process improvement

8 Definitions. Common Cause Variation: Causes that are inherent over time and affect everyone in the process and the process outcome. 2. Special Cause Variation: Causes that arise from specific circumstances and are not part of the process all of the time. 3. Stable Process: Implies that the variation is predictable within common bounds.. Unstable Process: A process that is affected by both special cause variation and common cause variation. The variation from one time period to the next is unpredictable. Attribute Control Charts Attribute control charts are used when it is necessary to classify or count a particular characteristic of a process instead of measuring it. There are four types of Attribute control charts: ) NP-Chart: For the number defective, where each item is either go/nogo, good/bad, yes/no, etc., use with constant subgroup size. 2) P-Chart: For the proportion defective, where each item is either go/nogo, good/bad, yes/no, etc., and changing or constant subgroup size. 3) C-Chart: For counting defects with a constant area of opportunity where the defects are drawn from. There is no upper limit on the number of defects that could occur. ) U-Chart: For counting defects per changing area of opportunity. There is no upper limit on the number of defects that could occur. Which chart should I use? Ask: ) Is there a maximum count for each group? Yes or No? 2) Is each subgroup the same size? Or changing? Note: A defective may be caused by more than one defect. 6 8

9 Understanding Variation Choosing the right control chart Group Exercise Which Control Chart Should be Used? For each of the following, identify different ways that the variable could be measured and the appropriate control chart(s) for each: o Patient wait time o Patient and family complaints o Falls o Medication Errors o SCIP bundle delivered o Glucose level o Percent of patients receiving genetic counseling o Time to next available appointment 8 9

10 Control Charts Tests for patterns in data are based on the laws of probability, assuming a normal distribution CENTER LINE UPPER CONTROL LIMIT 99.3% 95.% 68.36% Zone A B C C B A LOWER CONTROL LIMIT 9 Understanding Variation Non Random Patterns That Should be Investigated TEST : POINT OUTSIDE CONTROL LIMIT (p = 0.002) TEST 3: FOUR OF FIVE POINTS ON ONE SIDE OF THE CENTER LINE IN ZONE B OR BEYOND (p = 0.002) TEST 2: TWO OUT OF THREE POINTS ON ONE SIDE OF THE CENTER LINE IN ZONE A OR BEYOND (p = 0.005) TEST : RUN OF EIGHT POINTS ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE CENTER LINE (p = ) 20

11 Understanding Variation Non Random Patterns That Should be Investigated Test 5. SIX POINTS IN A ROW STEADILY INCREASING (OR DECREASING) (p = 0.002) Test. STRATIFICATION - 5 POINTS HUGGING THE CENTERLINE (p = ) Test 6. FOURTEEN POINTS IN A ROW ALTERNATING UP & DOWN Test 8. EIGHT POINTS IN A ROW ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CENTER LINE WITH NONE IN ZONE C (p = 0.000) 2 Table Exercise Assessment of Control For the following slides, determine what type of control chart is used and whether or not the process is in control. If the process is not in a state of control, explain why (what rule is violated) and what that means in terms of the specific process.
