Quality tools - engineering (statistical analysis of data)

Have moved this to the engineering forum for you

@Smack do you have any advice?

I’m an engineering student looking for help with understanding what quality tools I can use to analyse some data. I am comparing (Mutliple) defects between 2 materials over several weeks, and need an approach to compare the 2 materials to determine which one is associated with more defects overall.
Would a control chart be suitable for this?
Thanks for your help!

Do you have more information on the defects, material or components? I don't fully understand what you're asking. But if you've been taught control charts, then it's likely that that'll be the tool you're expected to use.

A company are manufacturing a pre-existing product using a new material. A quality report is included in the question and shows weekly defects (ie cracking, scratches etc), for products made with the old material and the new material also. I need to use quality tools to determine if there are more defects associated with the new material and if the new material is susceptible to cracking. I’m not 100% sure If using a control chart is the correct approach as there were many other quality tools that were talked about in the lecture. Any advise? 😁

No, sorry, in that case I'm not sure then.
