                               To collect the necessary data easily and systematically for classifying
1   CHECK SHEET / CHECK LIST   information for analysis
                               To divide data into several groups according to common factors like
2   STRATIFICATION             machine, defect, shift, operator etc
                               Majority of defects are caused by few defective item, which classifies the

                               Always prefer to use the major categories of problem, as it will give a better

5   HISTOGRAMS                 Organize data into groups by counting how much data is in each group
                               It is a prediction tool and to examine the relationship between the two,

                               process
                               To examine a process to see if it is stable or to maintain the stability of
