What is a Check Sheet?
→ It is a systematic method of collecting, recording, and presenting the relevant data in a simple manner for analysis of the process and it is also known as a "Tally_Sheet".→ It can collect qualitative and quantitive data also.
→ It is one of the most popular tools of 7 QC Tools for process improvement.
What is a Check Sheet used for?
- Data collection
- Monitoring the manufacturing process performance
- It is also used for traceability purpose
5 Basic Types of Check Sheets
→ Dr. Kaoru Ishikawa identified five different types which are mentioned below.- Process performance,
- Defect item,
- Defect location,
- Task conformation (Related to traceability) etc...
- Defect cause

How do I make a Check Sheet?
→ The five steps are mentioned below.- Establish what information is needed.
- Determine 5W and 2H.
- Construction.
- Testing.
- Take the final approval for Use.
Step 1. Establish what information is needed
→ Define what information is needed?→ Sometimes this is known as record form, data form, etc....
Step 2. Determine 5W 2H:
→ Why is the data_needed?→ What type of information collection is required?
→ Where the data_should be collected from? (Plant/machine/place)
→ Who has to collect the data? (Operator/ supervisor/manager)
→ When will the information be collected? (Every hour/ at the time of receipt)
→ How the data_should be measured? (Instrument/clock)
→ How much data_is essential?
Step 3. Construction of the Sheet:
➝ CheckSheet has three types of information.[1] Title
[2] Source information
⇢ Name of the project/ problem theme.
⇢ Location of data_collection.
⇢ Date and/or time.
⇢ Name of the person recording_data.
[3] Content information
⇢ Column/Raw with defect/event name.
⇢ Then Column/Raw to record frequency.
⇢ And Column/Raw to record total.
Step 4. Testing of Sheet:
➝ Test the_Sheet with at least three different collectors.➝ Reconfirm that the columns/ rows are relevant and required.
➝ Check if the_Sheet is easy to record and use.
➝ Make changes based on the feedback.
Step 5. Final approval for using this_sheet:
➝ Explain the use of this_sheet to the data collector.➝ Ensure that the data_collector understands the reason for which the data is being collected.
➝ Collect_data.
➝ Standardize its use to assure consistency.
Defect Cause Check Sheet Example:
➝ For a better understanding refer below the picture.➝ In this example, we have mentioned the day-wise count of the defect and at the end of the week analyze the defect to take appropriate action to eliminate those.
➝ The example of the defect collection tally_sheet is mentioned below.
➝ In this example, we have counted the frequency of various defects at the time of checking the product in ongoing production.
Benefits of CheckSheet:
➝ By using this we can make data gathering simple, systematic, easy and effective➝ We can save time and get easily data collection in regular Manufacturing Process
➝ It is used for monitoring process performance
➝ We can use this for different purposes like counting, tracking, etc.
➝ It is also very helpful for traceability
