Thank you!!
This might just be an option, as we take 30 readings accross the part. I could average the reading at spot #1, for instance, and so on.
I will look into this option . – Thank you for your help. -
Georgette replied to the topic what if my data look normal except granularity? in the forum General 19 years, 10 months ago
Thanks, everyone.
The problem is I can’t break the data up any further. The measurements were taken with a micrometer, and the data collected over months.
My guess is the micrometer should be one digit more distinct to accomodate the variation. since this is historical data, I don’t have that option.
What I really want to know is, if…[Read more] -

Georgette replied to the topic T-testing in the forum General 20 years, 1 month ago
Good answers from everyone.
The only thing I would add is an explanation of sample sizel.
The sample size calculation that you will do in minitab (if that is the software you use) will identify the minimum sample size you need. If the sample size required shows “60”, you need at least 60 samples before, and at least 60 after.

Sounds like you have a hit on your hands!
If you wouldn’t mind forwarding directions to me as well. I struggle for a good start-to-finish application for champion training.

I think we’ll still see messages like this from employees who do not have strong support all the way up and down the organization.
If management believes in it, they demand data-driven answers and root-cause fixes. They also believe in the power of shop-floor involvement. I have seen people on the shop floor who think it is BS, and that neg…[Read more] -
Georgette replied to the topic BB Redeployment/ Career Development in the forum General 20 years, 4 months ago
I have seen it successfully implemented at GE. There is no “contract” any more than for any other position. If you perform an outstanding job, within 2 years you will be assigned to a different role where you can use your Six Sigma tools to drive the improvement process in your new area.
The goal is to ultimately have people who live by dat…[Read more] -
Georgette replied to the topic No Support in the forum General 20 years, 9 months ago
It is nice to see so many replies of support to this message. I wonder how many others are reading these saying “that’s me!”
I have seen similar situations, and found a few things that will help.
1. If you can’t get support from your MBB, get it from other BB’s that might be able to mentor you. IF they do, GIVE THEM PLENTY OF ACCO…[Read more] -
Georgette replied to the topic six sigma in the forum General 20 years, 10 months ago
If you look at the Normal Probability tables (which show long term data), you will see that at at 3.4 defects per million, you will find a level of 4.5 sigma.
There is a general rule that the “shift” in sigma level from long term to short term is 1.5.
Therefore, if you see long-term sigma of 4.5, the short-term level (we call it “en…[Read more] -

Georgette replied to the topic Facilitating On-Time Ideas in the forum General 21 years, 11 months ago
I have found that simply starting the meeting on time works well. Although I typically tell team members or staff members that at the first meeting and of course, have to follow up on what I said. After a while you become known as one who starts meetings promptly. The first few times may be a bit difficult, but most of the time it is effective.
