Understanding Check Sheets In 7 QC Tools
Check sheets are simple forms with predefined
layouts that let the user record data in a business consistently. On the check
sheet, information is "collected and tallied" to note how frequently
particular occurrences occurred during the course of the data-collecting
period. They create a "consistent, efficient, and cost-effective
strategy" that can be used in quality assurance auditing for reviewing and
carrying out certain processes. Additionally, a check sheet assist the user in
organizing the data for subsequent use. It can collect qualitative and
quantitative data also.
A well - and carefully-designed checklist is
easy to use. Data generated are easy to interpret. Trends and patterns are
easier to spot because data are recorded and compiled systematically and
comprehensively.
