Probably Different Probably NOT Different Definitely NOT Different Comparison of Variances • The second types of comparison are those that compare the spread of two distributions. To do this: • Compute the ratio of the two variances, and then compare the ratio to one of two known distributions as a check to see if the magnitude of that ratio is sufficiently unlikely for the distribution. • The assumption that the data come from Normal distributions is very important. Assess how normally data are distributed prior to conducting either test. Definitely Different ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
Situation VII: Variance Test With 0 Known • Used when: • existing comparison process has been operating without much change in variation for a long time • Procedure: • form ratio of a sample variance (t-distribution variable) to a population variance (Normal distribution variable), v = n - 1 degrees of freedom ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
Situation VIII: Variance Test With 0 Unknown • Use: • worst case variation comparison process for when there is not enough prior history • Procedure: • form ratio of the sample variances (two 2-distributions), v1 = n1 – 1 degrees freedom for numerator, and v2 = n2 – 1 degrees freedom for the denominator Note: ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
Table for Variance Comparisons • Decision on which test to use is based on answering the following: • Do we know a theoretical variance (s2) or should we estimate it by the sample variances (s2) ? • What are we trying to decide (alternate hypothesis)? ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
Table for Variance Comparisons • These questions tell us: • What sampling distribution to use • What test statistic(s) to use • What criteria to use • How to construct the confidence interval • Four primary test statistics for variance comparisons • Two sampling distributions • Two confidence intervals • Six alternate hypotheses • Table construction • Note: F1-a, v1, v2 = 1/ Fa, v2, v1 ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
Grip Strength Example • True Corporate Training Example • How could grip strength vary among people in the SPC training room? • Data collection to detect difference in dominant hand meanbetween the left and right sides of the training room • Expectations? • Direction of comparison? • Significance Level? • Known parameters? • Best test? • Result?

R-L Side, Equal Variance Dominant Hand Means Comparison: L = x1 = 129.4, S12 = 2788, n1 = 34 people R = x2 = 104.0, S22 = 1225, n2 = 20 people Sp = 47.1, v = 52 Two-Sided Test at = .05 HA: There is a difference Test: Is | t0 | > t.025, 52? |1.91| > 2.009 - NO! Keep the Null Hypothesis: There is NOT a difference btwn L & R ! Grip Strength Data Results ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
R-L Side, No Assumptions Dom. Hand Means Comparison: L = x1 = 129.4, S12 = 2788, n1 = 34 people R = x2 = 104.0, S22 = 1225, n2 = 20 people v = 51 Two-Sided Test at = .05 HA: There is a difference Test: Is | t0 | > t.025, 51? |2.12| > 2.009 - YES! Reject the Null Hypothesis: There IS a difference btwn L & R! Why is this wimpy test significant when the other wasn’t? ANS: Check the equal variance assumption!

Unknown σ0 Variances Comparison: S12 = 2788 n1 = 34, v1 = 33 S22 = 1225 n2 = 20, v2 = 19 Two-Sided Test at = .10 HA: There is a difference Test: Is F0 > F.05, 33, 19? 2.276 > 2.07 - YES! (Should also checkF1– /2, 33, 19) Reject the Null Hypothesis: There IS a difference in variance! At = .05, this test is just barely not significant (Should also have checked for Normality with Normal Prob. Plot) Grip Strength Data Results ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
Statistical Quality Improvement • Goal: Control and Reduction of Variation • Causes of Variation: • Chance Causes / Common Causes • In Statistical Control • Natural variation / background noise • Assignable Causes / Special Causes • Out of Statistical Control • Things we can do something about - IF we act quickly! • Both can cause defects – because specifications are often set regardless of process capabilities! ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
Process Capability • Process Capability Analysis (PCA) • Is only done when the process is in a state of Statistical Control • Meaning: NO SPECIAL CAUSES are present • Process does not have to be centered to do PCA • Yield will improve if process is centered, but the value is in knowing what / where to improve the process • PCA is done periodically when the process has been operating in a state of statistical control • Allows for measuring improvement over time • Allows for marketing your competitive edge ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
Process Capability Analysis is performed when there are NO special causes of variability present – ie. when the process is in a state of statistical control, as illustrated at this point.

Process Capability • Process Capability is INDEPENDENT of product specifications • Most specifications are set without regard for process capability • However, understanding process capability helps the engineer to set more reasonable specifications • PCA reflects only the Natural Tolerance Limits of the process • PCA is done by examining the process • Histogram • Normal Probability Plot ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
Natural Tolerance Limits • The natural tolerance limits assume: • The process is well-modeled by the Normal Distribution • Three sigma is an acceptable proportion of the process to yield • The Upper and Lower Natural Tolerance Limits are derived from: • The process mean () and • The process standard deviation () • Equations: ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
1 :68.26% of the total area 2 :95.46% of the total area 3 :99.73% of the total area -3 or LNTL - + +3 or UNTL -2 +2 The Natural Tolerance Limits cover 99.73% of the process output Natural Tolerance Limits ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
PCA: Histogram Construction • Verify rough shape and location of histogram • Symmetric (roughly bell-shaped) • Mean median mode • Quickly confirm applicability prior to statistical analysis • Often hard to distinguish a Normal Distribution from a t-Distribution • Sometimes even a Normal distribution doesn’t look normal • More data and columns (bins) can make a difference • Verify location of process with respect to Specifications • Quick inspection will show what to do to improve the process ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
C u m F r e q C u m F r e q C u m F r e q X X X PCA: Normal Probability Plot • A Normal Plot better clarifies whether the distribution is Normal by a visual inspection for: • Non-random patterns (non-Normal) • Fat Pencil Test (Normal if passes) ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
PCA: Parameter Estimation • The Normal Plot mid-point estimates the process mean • The slope of the “best fit” line for the Normal Plot estimates the standard deviation • Choose the 25th and 75th percentile points to calculate the slope • The Histogram mode should be close to the mean • The range/d2 (from Histogram) should be close to the standard deviation • Can also estimate standard deviation by subtracting 50th percentile from the 84th percentile of the Histogram ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
Process Capability Indices • Cp: • Measures the potential capability of the current process - if the process were centered within the product specifications • Two-sided Limits: • One-sided Limit: ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
Cp Relation to Process Fallout • Recommended Minimum Ratios: (D. C. Montgomery, 2001) • Existing Process 1.25 (1-sided) 1.33 (2-sided) • Existing, Safety / Critical Parameter 1.45 1.50 • New Process 1.45 1.50 • New, Safety / Critical Parameter 1.60 1.67 ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
Process Capability Indices • Cpk: • Measures actual capability of current process - at its’ current location with respect to product specifications • Formula: Where: ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
Process Capability Indices • Regarding Cp and Cpk: • Both assume that the process is Normally distributed • Both assume that the process is in Statistical Control • When they are equal to each other, the process is perfectly centered • Both are pretty common reporting ratios among vendors and purchasers ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
LSL USL Process Capability Indices • Two very different processes can have identical Cpk values, though: • because spread and location interact in Cpk! ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
Process Capability Indices • Cpm: • Measures the current capability of the process - using the process target center point within the product specifications in the calculation • Formula: Where target T is: ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
Process Capability Indices • Cpkm: • Similar to Cpm - just more sensitive to departures from the process target center point • Not really in very common use • Formula: ENGM 720: Statistical Process Control
