framework of The QC Story Procedure, by outlining the difference between sporadic and chronic problems and defining some critical terms often used in process improvement. Now, to continue the discussion of The QC Story Procedure, I would like to present a case study in which I worked with the management team of a toy factory and expect to share these concepts with our other vendors interested in improving their QC capability.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">From talking to many of our vendors, their management knows that the numerous situations and problems\u00a0they face are\u00a0equally important.\u00a0For example,\u00a0roughly 20% of the customers (the &#8220;key&#8221; customers)\u00a0account for over 80%\u00a0of the sales in marketing.\u00a0In purchasing, a few percent of the purchase orders account for the bulk of dollars of purchase. In inventory control, a few percent of the catalogue\u00a0items\u00a0account\u00a0for\u00a0most\u00a0of\u00a0the dollar inventory. In cost analysis, roughly 20% of the parts contain 80% of the factory costs, and the basic\u00a0function\u00a0of a product roughly accounts for 80% of the product cost. In comparison, the secondary and other functions account for 20% of the cost.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

a&nbsp;vital few field failure modes, shop defects, products, components, processes, vendors, designs, operators, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt;

#000000;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Looking at the bigger picture, we also see some parallels in our world, presenting a similar phenomenon. For example, a few percent of the people own most of the wealth; a few countries account for most of the world&#8217;s population.&nbsp;The principle extends to biological&nbsp;and&nbsp;other natural&nbsp;phenomena, e.g., a&nbsp;few percent of the biological species account for&nbsp;the bulk of the animal population; one planet contains the bulk of the solar system&#8217;s mass.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The principle of the &#8220;vital few and the trivial many\u201d runs through all these phenomena. The vital few members of the assortment account&nbsp;for&nbsp;most&nbsp;of&nbsp;the total&nbsp;effect.&nbsp;The bulk of&nbsp;the members (the trivial&nbsp;many)&nbsp;account for&nbsp;very little of&nbsp;the&nbsp;total&nbsp;effect.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Based on such observation, many people become aware that this phenomenon of vital few and trivial many is a&nbsp;universal concept which warrants the attention of all of us. Such a phenomenon is called&nbsp;the \u201cPareto principle\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Such a great concept calls for a&nbsp;major&nbsp;use of the&nbsp;Pareto principle&nbsp;in&nbsp;designing quality improvement programs. Here the principle has so wide an application that no intelligent approach&nbsp;to&nbsp;quality improvement is possible&nbsp;without it.&nbsp;&nbsp;Improvement&nbsp;can be justified only for&nbsp;the&nbsp;vital&nbsp;few&nbsp;projects.&nbsp;&nbsp;It&nbsp;is&nbsp;these projects&nbsp;which contain the bulk of the opportunity for improvement in failure rates, quality costs,&nbsp;downtime,&nbsp;process&nbsp;yields,&nbsp;etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The&nbsp;vital&nbsp;few&nbsp;projects&nbsp;are&nbsp;identified&nbsp;through&nbsp;a&nbsp;&#8220;Pareto&nbsp;analysis.&#8221;&nbsp;In&nbsp;its&nbsp;most&nbsp;basic form, this consists of listing&nbsp;the&nbsp;contributions&nbsp;to the&nbsp;problem&nbsp;in the&nbsp;order of importance.&nbsp;For example,&nbsp;in this case study, I worked with the production manager and QC manager of a toy factory. I obtained their willingness to share this study with other factories for education. In reviewing their production information and inspection data record, I got the following Problem Chart which is a listing of the work of 15 operators in their toy spray painting operation. The operators are shown in the order reflecting the extent to which they produced painting defects during a production period of 4 weeks.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

The reason for this is, in part,\u00a0organizational.\u00a0For sporadic\u00a0defects, i.e.,\u00a0in troubleshooting, the responsibility\u00a0for diagnosis is\u00a0usually clear, and therefore it falls within the present scope of this Pareto discussion.\u00a0For chronic defects, this responsibility is sometimes not clear, as that may fall within multiple departments as a company-wide responsibility. When that happens, it leads to a result that\u00a0no\u00a0one\u00a0may follow\u00a0the diagnostic\u00a0process. Since that is a more complicated subject for discussion, it falls beyond the scope of this article.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri,

<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">Confuse&nbsp;symptom with&nbsp;a cause:&nbsp;For example, internal scrap&nbsp;data&nbsp;sheets&nbsp;often&nbsp;have a&nbsp;column

in the sense of &#8220;reason&nbsp;for&nbsp;scrapping.&#8221;&nbsp;However, such usage&nbsp;leads managers&nbsp;to assume that the cause of the defects is really known and that hence no real&nbsp;diagnosis&nbsp;is&nbsp;needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000; letter-spacing: normal;\"><span

to be investigated and analyzed, sometimes I heard about the claiming of the cause of a defect without any explanation, but simply a confirmation of an experience from a previous production. That means that production engineers may be personally convinced regarding the cause of the defect based on their own feelings. &nbsp;However,&nbsp;they lack the&nbsp;data&nbsp;which can convince their colleagues in the face of all those other competing theories. Until the diagnosis is complete, it is not known which is the dominant cause.&nbsp;In&nbsp;addition,&nbsp;since many theories had been&nbsp;advanced, only&nbsp;a&nbsp;small minority of the theories were&nbsp;decisive in the solution.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000; letter-spacing: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000; letter-spacing: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">With this basic understanding of the Pareto Principle, I am ready to discuss the diagnostic and remedial process at greater length in the forthcoming articles.
