Recent Quality Discussions

Projecting Inventory Levels
I want to be able to use collected data to determine a projected inventory level at which a desired fill rate will be achieved. I have a lot of data, just need to figure out how to fit the pieces of the puzzle together. Suggestions?
http://www.isixsigma.com/forum/showmessage.asp?messageID=159877

Understanding Test Difference
Would anyone enlighten me on how the 'test difference' mean in the 2 proportions-option in Minitab works? Is the value zero by default? And what does the zero mean in this option? Can I input a different value, and how would the value impact on the analysis?
http://www.isixsigma.com/forum/showmessage.asp?messageID=159862

Calculating Process Velocity
I am trying to calculate process velocity. I have seen a couple of definitions. Can someone help me with the way to calculate this?

Probability Plots
I'm trying to do probability plots in Excel 2007 and I was wondering if it has the capability. If it does, can you possibly give me some direction?

DOE Observation Requirements
If DOE essentially relies on multi-way ANOVA to arrive at the main effects, interaction, etc., why is it that we need fewer samples for conducting a DOE rather than doing a straight multi-way ANOVA?
