Seven Tools of Quality

Seven Tools of Quality

The discipline of Total Quality Control uses a number of quantitative methods and tools to identify problems and suggest avenues for continuous improvement in fields such as manufacturing.

Over many years, total quality practitioners gradually realized that a large number of quality related problems can be solved with seven basic quantitative tools, which then became known as the traditional "Seven Tools of Quality”. These are:

*Ishikawa diagram
*Pareto chart
*Check sheet
*Control chart
*Flowchart
*Histogram
*Scatter diagram

These tools have been widely used in most quality management organizations, and a number of extensions and improvements to them have been proposed and adopted.
