I tried to search first, so that is why I am digging up an old thread. 
Mine is a very similar issue to the above.  I am trying to do an MSA on the balancers, though.  We do not correct the imbalance, but are simply measuring it. 
We can easily quantify the bias of a given balancer by using cartesian coordinates, but R&R seems to have me a bit…[Read more]

Hey Scott,

If this is the first initative on Lean transformation in your company. Then a crucial question is: “how is the management support organised?”
Is each plant asking “pick me”, or is each plant saying “oh no, please don’t pick us”. If you got the challenge to prove that Lean is the approach which needs…[Read more]

In my previous job I was appointed as “the person to take up the new coorporate DFSS iniative, for our plant”.
At the beginning I was feeling the same: “how do I start”.
From each plant a person was appointed to step into the Black Belt training. Coached by an already experienced Master Black Belt. In the beginning it was difficult to get…[Read more]

 
A nice definition from the Minitab help menu:
Xbar S process behaviors charts display a control chart for subgroup

means (an X chart) and a control chart for subgroup standard deviations (an S chart) in the same graph window. The X chart is drawn in the upper half of the screen; the S chart in the lower half. Seeing both charts together…[Read more]

GRR has these main elements : Parts (what measured), operators (appraisers) and measurement system itself (tool, method, enviorement.. etc.) What are the corresponds for them i…[Read more]

Hi, your question is too general …

I do.

 could someone email the file to me?

Your answer is embedded in the statement that you produce 4-5 pieces per hour.  That alone suggests X, mR as your monitoring tool (i.e., why wait an hour to collect 5 pieces to be measured as though a single subgroup? — you would absolutely lose the aspect of real-time process monitoring/responsiveness).  You could even begin by measuring every…[Read more]

Look at an MLA handbook or ask your professor how he/she wants the articles referenced in your paper. Also keep in mind that mostly all articles on this site will be biased in favor of six sigma….;)

If the estimation of sigma is biased, then the calculated F-statistic will may not follow the theorized F distribution, even if the null hypothesis is true. The result could be a much greater tendency to reject the null hypothesis than expected. You’ll see differences where differences don’t exist.
