So here we have a simple example of a Check Sheet. 2
In this particular case we have a plan which is making water bottles and these water bottles are in 3
three different sizes 300 ml., 500 ml. and 1000 milliliters. 4
And we are looking at a defect of that. 5
So inspector is inspecting these bottles and looking at the defect and recording those defects and why 6
this inspector is doing that because the inspector is interested in trends, what are the trends here. 7
Which problems we have, which is a more prominent problem for that purpose 8
the inspector is making this check sheet. 9
So let's say inspector picks a bottle. 10
This is a 300 ml. bottle and inspector sees there is a scratch on that. 11
So what this fellow will do is he will put a mark here. Next time this fellow picks a bottle this bottle is 12
Let's say 500ml. and has a problem related to volume like there is less volume, 13
there is more volume. 14
So volume related problem 500 ml. put a tally here, checkmark here. 15
So that's how this fellow will keep on making checkmarks. 16
Once you put four lines, so one two three four and then you put a cross line here that makes a group of 17
five. 18
So just by visually looking at that if you see a group here let's say if you look here you can straight away identify 19
that these are eleven. 20
So there are 5 5+1 so that's the inspector keeps a tally of that. End of the day inspector or the 21
supervisor will make a total of that. 22
So many bottles 300ml. 23
There were 11 bottles which had a problem 500 ml. 24
There were 12 bottles which had a problem. 25
So there were 36 problems identified during this shift or during this day. 26
Now this can help us in identifying that which problem is a more prominent problem just by looking at 27
that. 28
I can see that loose cap is a big problem with us. 29
So let's attend to lose cap. 30
Let's realize that that you cannot solve all problem at that time. 31
So you need to prioritize those problems so this tally can help you in identifying or prioritizing the 32
problem. 33
We'll be looking at some other tools as well which can help us in prioritizing that will be Pareto chart. 34
But we will talk about that later. 35
But right now we can make a tally. 36
We can make a check sheet which can help us in identifying or visually showing the problem. 37
So this was the tool number one in Seven Basic Quality Tools.
