Analyzing Quality Control Measures: PARETO CHART

The provided content appears to be related to quality control and improvement in a manufacturing setting. A PARETO chart is used to identify high fluctuation points, indicating the need for corrective actions when weights are 208 or below. The causes of under-specification products include underweight, incorrect labels, and faulty packaging. Over-specification issues may arise from overweight, physical contamination, or incorrect labeling. References are provided from various academic journals and books. The content also touches on market research, client specifications, and website development, but the primary focus is on quality control and improvement.

Fishbone diagrams are useful tools that help in identifying the causes of the issue in the
workplace. It defines that most of the problems caused due to material, equipment, procedure
and people (Lim and et.al, 2014).
After looking upon the main issues, company can go to the next phase in which it has o
decide which factor is creating big trouble to the firm. It is a visualization tool that categorize the
potential causes and try to find out the root cause of the problem. For using this tool there are
four steps :
 identify the major issues
 Work upon the major involved factors
 Find out the possible cause
 Analyze the diagram
3.
A flow chart is the tool that supports to find out a major steps involved in the process. It
is essential and beneficial tool that helps to understand the problems and source of information
can be gathered with the help of flow chart (Teoh and et.al, 2014). Flowchart is the process
which is prepared with collective inputs. If gives positive results when employees support the
employer and they follow the same flowchart for completing the task. As our company is
4

working in the website development field so for creating a new website flow chart can be
prepared as below:
Yes No
No
4.
Logic tree is the graphical breakdown of a question, by this way enterprise can find
solution of the problems (Abidakun, and et.al, 2014). By this way root cause of the issues can be
analysed and authorities can find way to solve the problem.

Pareto chart is a formal tool that used by most of the entities, it shows which issues needs
to be addressed first by the organization to resolve the problems. It looks upon the major defects
so that company can take immediate action o resolve it. By this way firms can organize their
activities for resolving the problems (Fang and et.al, 2015).

From the Pareto analyses it is found that company needs to look immediately and mostly
on the biggest reason, by his way 80% problems will be reduced. From the graphical analyses it
is found that packaging rips, glue not sticking, poor quality packaging, wrapping not closed and
boxes will not fold correctly are the major defects.

1. When there is high fluctuation then company will have to take corrective actions. By
looking upon the graphical presentation it can be said that firm is needed to take action
when weight is 208 and 2015 (PARETO CHART, 2017). That is the warning signal and
here is required to take immediate action.
2. Unavailability of raw material when production run was made.
3. Reasons of causing thing to be under specification are as following:
 Under weight
 Incorrect labels
 Faulty packaging of material
4. Reasons that could have caused things to be over the specification are described as
below:
 Over weight
 Physical contamination
 Incorrect labels.
