What is the primary purpose of a check sheet?

• To analyze cause-and-effect relationships

• To record data in a structured way

• To visualize process variations over time

• To determine correlation between two variables

Check sheets are most useful for:

• Monitoring trends in a process over time

• Collecting data on defects or issues

• Analyzing complex problems using diagrams

• Predicting future process performance

Which of the following is NOT typically recorded on a check sheet?

• Number of defects

• Causes of a problem

• Date and time of an issue

• Employee preferences

What do control charts help businesses monitor?

• The root cause of product failures

• Process stability and variation

• Employee performance reviews

What is the primary purpose of a control chart?

• To monitor process stability

• To identify the root cause of defects

• To compare different processes

• To measure employee performance

What does a point outside the control limits indicate?

• The process is in control

• The process is out of control

• The process is stable

• The process is efficient

A process is considered out of control when:

• A single point falls outside the control limits

• The process follows an expected pattern

• The process remains within the control limits

• The data shows no variation over time

What do the upper and lower control limits represent?

• The highest and lowest selling products in a business

• The maximum and minimum expected variations in a process

• The best and worst employees in a team

• The ideal profit range of a company

What does a histogram display?

• Process flow from start to finish

• Frequency distribution of data

• Relationship between two variables

• The root causes of defects

How does a histogram differ from a bar chart?

• Histograms are only used for quality control

• Histograms group data into intervals, while bar charts compare categories

• Bar charts are more accurate for measuring defects

• Histograms are only used for financial data
