So the tool number one which we are discussing here is Check Sheet. 2
And what is that. 3
So check sheet is a data collection form used to manually record the number of observation or occurrence of 4
an event. 5
And what does that mean is you take a piece of paper on that you keep on recording, let's say if 6
you are counting number of people coming to an event, every time a person come you put a tally there. 7
OK one person, second person comes to that 8
event you put second tally to that. 9
And that way you keep a record of number of people coming to event or for whatever reason you want to 10
keep a tally of an event, tally of an activity, tally of some type of defect. 11
You use a check sheet. 12
So check sheet is used for collecting data and displaying the pattern of that 13
and that can help us in solving problems. Number of times people get confused with the check sheet and 14
check list, check list is a list of item which you through. 15
Let's say if you go for a grocery shopping you have a list of items in your list, you need to buy 16
milk. 17
You need to buy potatos, you need to buy tomatos. 18
So that's a list which you have. 19
And once you buy those things you put a check mark against that. 20
That will be a checklist, checklist 21
is a reminder that tells you what all needs to be done. In quality audit you have a checklist, you 22
go through that checklist, you check those points. 23
So we're not talking about checklist here. 24
We are talking gut check sheet, check sheet is for data collection. 25
So when you keep a count of something, when you keep a tally of something that's where you use a check 26
sheet. 27
Let's look at an example of that on the next slide.
