The Case of the Engineering Backlog
Published in Bob Sproull, The Problem-Solving, Problem-Prevention, and Decision-Making Guide, 2018
The two tools we are going to use are the run chart and the Pareto chart. In case you don’t remember, a run chart is simply a graphical representation of whatever you are measuring, plotted as a function of time. If we were studying product weights, for example, then the run chart would have the actual weight data along the y-axis (vertical) and the corresponding time function (i.e., hours, days, etc.) along the x-axis (horizontal). The Pareto chart visually demonstrates the priority order of a list of items in terms of frequency. (As a side note, I presented a portion of this problem in Chapter 4 to explain the use of run charts. In this chapter, I will present a much more detailed version of the problem.)

Run chart is a graph plotted by showing measurement (data) against time. They are used to know the trends or changes in a process variation over time over the average and also to determine if the pattern can be attributed to common causes of variation, or if special causes of variation were present. A run chart is also used to monitor process performance. Run charts can be used to track improvements that have been put in place, checking to determine their success. Figure 4.8 illustrates the run chart for weekly manpower of different trades of a project. It is similar to control chart but does not show control limits.

Data are plotted in time order in a run chart. The run chart is used to identify changes or trends over time and is much like a control chart; however, the run chart does not use control limits (Villarreal & Kleiner, 1997). In an example, Snee (2008) listed time on the x-axis and listed yield on the y-axis to illustrate the use of a run chart for a pharmaceutical yield problem. Patterns that may occur in a run chart are often the result of differences between shifts, material batches, and seasons, as well as the result of tool wear (Blank, 2014).
