Would it be possible to determine without the raw data somehow?  This question was in some training material but the data is not there.
Thanks!

8D is a general purpose root cause analysis process to follow, where isn’t specified which tools to use, so following 8D you can use Shainin or whatever method you believe is proper for the scope.

You missed to explane better about what.

Accordingly with plant’s MPS or plant’s (planned) main changes.

Great advise ! 
 

I would be grateful if you sent the metrics info to me as well.  Email address is [email protected]  Thank you

Thanks for your feedback everyone. I read your posts and I am going to stick with step 1 for now – plotting the existing data and process variation. My mean is much smaller than my standard deviation (about 1/3), and I am using ‘mean +- 2s’ to define the UCL and LCL. The LCL brings me below 0. The values vary from a few minutes to several…[Read more]
