Analyze Data with Template for Dynamic Pareto Charts
While working in environments where costly software is not easily accessible across the organization, an Excel-based Pareto chart can come in handy. A dynamic Pareto chart template can be a practical aid to practitioners in this situation. By following the steps described here, practitioners can create a Pareto chart that can be updated with a click of a button, provided they input the data labels and their respective frequencies.

Recent Quality Discussions
Name That Data Type
We are measuring the GP% percent as one of the primary metrics. The GP% is arrived at by dividing the price by cost. Is the resulting GP% attribute data? If so, do I need to calculate the process capability by coding the data and doing a binomial process capability?

Changing AQL Inspection Standard
My factory inspected if the automatic pressing machine produced snaps as AQL S3 Maj 2.5; Min 4.0 and found that there were many defectives that could not be screened out in the passed lot. That is, the inspected pass lot had a great percentage of defectives. We tried to change the AQL inspection standard to AQL II Maj 2.5; Min 4.0. Please advise if it is a tighter and more effective level for normal production inspection than the original S3.

ANOVA and Attribute Data
I am doing my final year project on utilizing Six Sigma to reduce the rejections and rework. The scope of my project is concerned with attribute data (number of circuit defects in the wire harness of a car, number of taping defects in the wire harness, etc.). I am asked by my project advisor to use ANOVA. I have no idea how to do that for attribute data. Also, I only have 15-25 more days to wind up my project.
"I also want to know that is it necessary to use ANOVA and DOE in the DMAIC philosophy? Are there any other techniques that can be used or is it necessary that they must be included for a successful Six Sigma project?
