Variability Reduction • Variability reduction is a modern concept of design • and manufacturing excellence • Reducing variability around the target value leads • to better performing, more uniform, defect-free • product • Virtually eliminates rework and waste • Consistent with continuous improvement concept Don’t just conform to specifications Reduce variability around the target accept reject reject target
True Impact of Product Variability • Sources of loss • - scrap • - rework • - warranty obligations • - decline of reputation • - forfeiture of market share • Loss function - dollar loss due to deviation of • product from ideal characteristic • Loss characteristic is continuous - not a step • function.

Caution For a normal distribution, the natural tolerance limits include 99.73% of the variable, or put another way, only 0.27% of the process output will fall outside the natural tolerance limits. Two points should be remembered: 1. 0.27% outside the natural tolerances sounds small, but this corresponds to 2700 nonconforming parts per million. 2. If the distribution of process output is non normal, then the percentage of output falling outside 3 may differ considerably from 0.27%.
Normal Distribution Probability Density Function: < x < where = 3.14159... e = 2.7183...
Normal Distribution • Mean or expected value of X • Mean = E(X) = • Median value of X • X0.5 = • Standard deviation
Normal Distribution Standard Normal Distribution If X ~ N(, ) and if , then Z ~ N(0, 1). A normal distribution with = 0 and = 1, is called the standard normal distribution.
Normal Distribution - example The diameter of a metal shaft used in a disk-drive unit is normally distributed with mean 0.2508 inches and standard deviation 0.0005 inches. The specifications on the shaft have been established as 0.2500 0.0015 inches. We wish to determine what fraction of the shafts produced conform to specifications.

Normal Distribution - example solution Thus, we would expect the process yield to be approximately 91.92%; that is, about 91.92% of the shafts produced conform to specifications. Note that almost all of the nonconforming shafts are too large, because the process mean is located very near to the upper specification limit. Suppose we can recenter the manufacturing process, perhaps by adjusting the machine, so that the process mean is exactly equal to the nominal value of 0.2500. Then we have

Tolerance Analysis - example The mean external diameter of a shaft is S = 1.048 inches and the standard deviation is S = 0.0020 inches. The mean inside diameter of the mating bearing is b = 1.059 inches and the standard deviation is b = 0.0030 inches. Assume that both diameters are normally and independently distributed. (a) What is the required clearance, C, such that the probability of an assembly having a clearance less than C is 1/1000? (b) What is the probability of interference?

Tolerance Limits Based on the Normal Distribution Suppose a random variable x is distributed with mean m and variance s2, both unknown. From a random sample of n observations, the sample mean and sample variance S2 may be computed. A logical procedure for estimating the natural tolerance limits m ± Za/2 s is to replace m by and s by S, yielding.
Tolerance Intervals - Two-Sided Since and S are only estimates and not the true parameters values, we cannot say that the above interval always contains 100(1 - a)% of the distribution. However, one may determine a constant K, such that in a large number of samples a faction
Tolerance Intervals - Two-Sided If X1, X2, …, Xn is a random sample of size n from a normal distribution with unknown mean and unknown standard deviation , then a two-sided tolerance interval is (LTL,UTL), i.e., an interval that contains at least the proportion P of the population, with g 100% confidence is: and is a function of n, P, and g and may be obtained from the table Factors for Two-Sided Tolerance Limits for Normal Distributions (Located in the resource section on the website).
Tolerance Intervals - One-Sided If X1, X2, …, Xn is a random sample of size n from a normal distribution with unknown mean and unknown standard deviation , then a one-sided lower (upper) tolerance interval is defined by the lower tolerance limit LTL (upper tolerance limit UTL), the value for which at least the proportion P of the population lies above (below) LTL (UTL) with g100% confidence where is a function of n, P, and g and may be obtained from the table Factors for Once-Sided Tolerance Limits for Normal Distributions (Located in the resource section on the website).
