  1. Our Process Tower Elevation Arm Front Back

  2. Operational Definition • Need two things: • a method of measurement or test • a set of criteria for judgment • For example, what are operational definitions for the following: • on-time delivery • good service • 50% wool blanket source: Moen, Nolan and Provost, Improving Quality Through Planned Experimentation

  3. Data Collection • Collect 5 data points for each team member • Plot run chart (use chart wizard) • Construct a histogram (Data | Data Analysis | Histogram) • Construct a box and whiskers plot (use box&whiskers.xls) • Calculate x-bar and s (Data | Data Analysis | Descriptive Statistics) • Discuss results and be prepared to brief results to other groups

  5. Insert | Line Chart Box and Whiskers XLS

  6. What the Exercise Statistics Reveal • The sample mean (x-bar) describes typical distances in one number. • Other measures of central tendency include: median and mode. • The sample standard deviation (s) provides a measure of the ‘average’ deviation around the mean.

  7. Using x-bar and s • The empirical rule assumes the underlying distribution is normal: • 68% within ± 1 s • 95% within ± 2 s • 99 % within ±3 s • For any distribution: • At least 75% within ± 2 s • At least 89% within ± 3 s

  8. Histograms • Shows the distribution of process outcomes. • Look for center, shape and spread • Compare to: • your expectations and knowledge • target and specification requirements • across shifts, operators, machines, etc

  9. Process capability EXCEL: =Normdist(x, mean, std dev, 1) to calculate percent non-conforming material.
