50 Percent Sampling

50 Percent Sampling Savings with Sequential Test Method

Published:

Using Wald’s sequential test method for process capability decisions can result in 50 percent sampling savings. Sequential testing can also be automated, enhanced and extended to the binomial, Poisson and reliability test areas.

A Simple Model of a Variance Stable Process

Published:

Most fairly accurate descriptions of equipment and/or process lifetimes assume that failure rates follow a three period I II III “bathtub-curve pattern” where failures/errors: I – Decrease during the debugging or improvement time period. II – Remain relatively constant and at their lowest levels during the normal equipment or process operating period. III – Increase […]

Using Efficient Process Tolerance and Mean Shift Tests

Published:

The sequential probability ratio test, or SPRT, can be used as an efficient tool for process tolerance and mean shift determinations. It also provides for simplifying insights into the nature of random mean shifts when process tolerances and Type I/II errors are selected. The cumulative sum design of the test naturally compensates for random errors, […]
