LQATS Supplier Performance Non-conformance Pareto Chart, OQL By Month Chart and Irregular Data Chart

It indicates that the supplier’s goods, services, or overall performance fail to align with the expectations set forth in the procurement process.

Pareto Chart

The Pareto Chart is one of the most commonly used tools to ensure product quality standards. It helps indicate the percentage of defects in Supplier Performance Non-Conformance over a period of time. This analysis helps estimate whether the defects are decreasing over time. The Pareto Chart presents data as a histogram with values plotted in descending order, along with a line graph that tracks the cumulative total.

Quality managers use Pareto charts to monitor the frequency of various types of non-conformance events and their causes. By understanding the most common causes of Supplier Performance Non-Conformance defects, quality managers can focus their efforts on reducing incidences of non-conforming products. The length of each bar in the Pareto Analysis represents the frequency of non-conformance, with the longest bars on the left and the shortest on the right. This arrangement visually highlights which situations are more significant. The Pareto Chart is considered one of the seven basic quality tools.
