    Seven quality tools are suggested by Kaoru Ishikawa. These tools are used to solve industrial problems. They are as follows:

    1) Check sheets: It is a graphical method used for acceptance sampling

    2) Flowcharts: These charts enlist the sequence of operations that are used to transform input into an output which are suitable for next step.

    3) Histograms: It is a pictorial presentation of data showing variations in data.

    4) Pareto chart: These charts are based on 20-80 rule. This chart was propaged by Vilfredo Pareto

    5) Cause and effect diagram: These charts are used to study how an accepted part is produced.

    6) Scatter diagram: This diagram is a mathematical approach and is used to study correlation between factors which are related to each other.

    7) Control charts: These charts are used for statistical control of processes. These charts decide whether a process meets specified tolerances and runs in statistical control.
