%0 Journal Article %T INVESTIGATION OF THICKNESS AND BRIGHTNESS CHANGE WITH SHEWHART CONTROL CHARTS IN NATURAL STONE POLISHING PROCESS %A Sevgi £¿etinta£¿a %A £¿brahim Nazl£¿ %J - %D 2018 %X In recent years, several studies have been conducted to reduce the defects that may occur during the production phase with a view to ensure that the products introduced to the market under developing technology and competitive conditions meet the desired quality requirements. Statistical quality control is vital for the process of enhancing, improving and controlling the production phase. In this study, Shewhart control charts (the control charts for variables) are obtained for the purpose of identifying any potential change in the thickness and brightness values for two different natural stone samples produced in the natural stone plant in Afyonkarahisar / Turkey. Statistical process control techniques, which play a key role in those quality studies, help businesses improve, enhance and control the production processes. Thanks to statistical process control techniques, the problems experienced during the production processes could be identified and the causes of those problems could be analysed to take action in order to prevent recurrence of the situation %K Shewhart %K Kalite %K Kontrol grafi£¿i %K Do£¿al ta£¿ %U http://dergipark.org.tr/madencilik/issue/39027/457369
