How good is good? Can better be better? These philosophical questions might be answered by considering standard deviations, also known as "Sigma Control Limits". These control limits may be very useful in determining how "good" your company's product or service is OR can be. Making a "better" product or service may also result in reduced costs, a reduction in spoilage and waste, reduced inspection requirements and INCREASED sales.

This is part 3 of a multipart post by Micro Quality Controls (www.microqualitycontrols.com.) and describes how errors are tabulated and quantified on a Pareto Chart. Organize the errors from most to least frequent. If there are several errors that occurred once or twice, they may be combined into an error category called "other" but..........beware: the "other" category must be used with care. List the number of occurrences for each error, including the "other" category. Determine the total errors of each and use that number to determine the percentage of each type of error. Determine the cumulative percentage for each error by adding the percentage of the first error to the percentage of the second error. This is repeated for the remaining errors. The total cumulative error should be 100%. The 4th post by Micro Quality Controls will describe how to determine the curve and act upon the information presented on the Pareto Chart.
