New QC Tools
Quality circles started using additional seven tools as they started maturing. These are:
1.
Relations diagram.
2.
Affinity diagram.
3.
4.
Matrix diagram.

Explanation:
Relations diagram.
Relations Diagram (or Interrelationship Digraph) Relations Diagrams are drawn to show all the different relationships between factors,
areas, or processes. Why are they worthwhile? Because they make it easy to pick out the factors in a situation which are the ones which
are driving many of the other symptoms or factors. For example, a relations diagram of urban poverty might start out something like
this:
Instead of one item following another in a logical sequence, each item is connected to many other pieces, showing that they have an
impact on each one. Once all the relevant connections between items have been drawn, the connections are counted. Those with the
most connections will usually be the most important factors to focus on.
While the relations diagram is one of the 7 New QC Tools described in the Japanese classic Management, it is less frequently used
than some of its stalemates. However, in a fairly tangled situation, it is a powerful means of forcing a group to map out the interactions
between factors, and usually helps bring the most important issues into focus.

Affinity diagram:The affinity diagram is a business tool used to organize ideas and data. It is one of the Seven Management and Planning Tools.
The tool is commonly used within project management and allows large numbers of ideas stemming from brainstorming [1] to be sorted
into groups for review and analysis.
The affinity diagram was devised by Jiro Kawakita in the 1960s [3] and is sometimes referred to as the KJ Method.
PROCESS:
Sort cards into groups until all cards have been used.
Once the cards have been sorted into groups the team may sort large clusters into subgroups for easier management and analysis. Once
completed, the affinity diagram may be used to create a cause and effect diagram.
Affinity diagrams can be used to:
Because many decision-making exercises begin with brainstorming, this is one of the most common applications of affinity diagrams.
After a brainstorming session there are usually pages of ideas. These won't have been censored or edited in any way, many of them will
be very similar, and many will also be closely related to others in a variety of ways. What an affinity diagram does is start to group the
ideas into themes.
From the chaos of the randomly generated ideas comes an insight into the common threads that link groups of them together. From there
the solution or best idea often emerges quite naturally. This is why affinity diagrams are so powerful and why the Japanese Union of
Scientists and Engineers consider them one of the "seven management tools."
Affinity diagrams are not the domain of brainstorming alone though. They can be used in any situation where:
You want to reach a consensus or decision and have a lot of variables to consider, concepts to discuss, ideas to connect, or
opinions to incorporate

Here is a step-by-step guide to using affinity diagrams along with a simple example to show how the process works.
Systematic diagram or Tree diagram:The systematic diagram, also known as the tree diagram, maps out in increasing detail the paths and tasks that must be accomplished to
achieve a goal. It looks somewhat like an organizational chart or a family tree.
Steps for constructing the Systematic Diagram are:

Matrix diagram:A Matrix diagram is a graphical tool that shows the connection or correlation between ideas or issues in the form of a table (matrix). A
relationship is indicated at each intersection of rows and columns as present or absent. The matrix diagram shows the relationship
between two, three or four groups of information. It also can give information about the relationship, such as its strength, the roles played
by various individuals or measurements.
It is a tool used for clarifying problems by Thinking Multi-dimensionally. It consists of a two-dimensional array to determine location
and nature of problem. Tree diagram needs to be constructed before moving to Matrix diagram. The output (Means) of tree diagram are
required to put in Y axis of Matrix and on X axis.
Types of Matrix Diagram
There are a number of different shapes of matrix for comparing more than the basic two lists. There are Six different shaped matrices
possible: L, T, and Y, X, C and roof-shaped, depending on how many groups must be compared.

3.
L-shaped matrix relates two groups of items to each other (or one group to itself).
T-shaped matrix relates three groups of items: groups B and C are each related to A. Groups B and C are not related to each other.
Y-shaped matrix relates three groups of items. Each group is related to the other two in a circular fashion.

C-shaped matrix relates three groups of items all together simultaneously, in 3-D.
X-shaped matrix relates four groups of items. Each group is related to two others in a circular fashion.
Roof-shaped matrix relates one group of items to itself. It is usually used along with an L- or T-shaped matrix.
PDPC (Process Decision Program Chart):The process decision program chart systematically identifies what might go wrong in a plan under development. Countermeasures are
developed to prevent or offset those problems. By using PDPC, you can either revise the plan to avoid the problems or be ready with
the best response when a problem occurs.
When to Use PDPC
Before implementing a plan, especially when the plan is large and complex.
When the plan must be completed on schedule.
When the price of failure is high.
PDPC Procedure

5.
Obtain or develop a tree diagram of the proposed plan. This should be a high-level diagram showing the objective, a second
level of main activities and a third level of broadly defined tasks to accomplish the main activities.
For each task on the third level, brainstorm what could go wrong.
Review all the potential problems and eliminate any that are improbable or whose consequences would be insignificant.
Show the problems as a fourth level linked to the tasks.
For each potential problem, brainstorm possible countermeasures. These might be actions or changes to the plan that would
prevent the problem, or actions that would remedy it once it occurred. Show the countermeasures as a fifth level, outlined in
clouds or jagged lines.
Decide how practical each countermeasure is. Use criteria such as cost, time required, ease of implementation and
effectiveness. Mark impractical countermeasures with an X and practical ones with an O.

ARROW DIAGRAM:An arrow diagramming method (ADM) is a network diagramming technique in which activities are represented by arrows. It is used
for scheduling activities in a project plan.
The precedence relation between activities is represented by circles connecting to one or more arrows. The length of the arrow
represents the duration of the relevant activity.
Sometimes a "dummy task" is added, to represent a dependency between tasks, which does not represent any activity.
