RC replied to the topic Gage RR Study on Load vs. Deflection Curve in the forum General 13 years, 4 months ago
Let me see if I have this right. Are you measuring the reliability and reproducibility of operators or machines?If you are doing operators I would say that you’re trying to see how different operators _calculate_ predicted load at .100 in. deflection. So are you giving them Stress and Strain constants?

RC replied to the topic What can we learn about Lean from Star Trek? in the forum General 13 years, 5 months ago
perhaps the customer (Picard) has already consulted a list of categorical variables from which to choose how his tea is made. This list dictates what type of item he orders. Hot is already predefined at a set temperature and he possibly has 2 other options available: warm, and cold. These other options being at predetermined settings.Perhaps…[Read more]

Oh that brings back memories of making sure you’ve remembered to convert the g constant!

Ron, I am one of the premier Six Sigma Consultants in my cubicle area. I have come to this conclusion by doing a survey of my office supplies in my top left hand drawer. The results showed that these office supplies feel that I am the best at stapling and tacking in my cube, extremely talented, and perceived as best in class as there is no second.

What does the ISSC (International Soup Standards Commission) have to say about the specifications for the composition of chicken soup? 100% chicken is chicken, not soup.

RC replied to the topic Pronunciation in the forum General 13 years, 5 months ago
I have a rule: no use of acronyms (or pronunciation of acronyms) without first identifying them. After you define to the group what they stand for, you can pronounce them however you want. As long as those to who you are communicating understand and accept the reference.
Take a philosophy of language course. -

Dee Em Ay Eye SeeThat’s how it’s pronounced and if you hear different, you’re hearing wrong.

I really think the gas gets turned on after doing a FMEA and attacking the pertinent items from that also.FMEAs really stoke the fire.

RC replied to the topic Sigma Level … in the forum Finance 13 years, 5 months ago
Isn’t Sigma Level inherent to the observed process? Isn’t it also true that a better comparison of processes is their respective DPMO, PPM?What issue needs to be debated? The performance of banks in what regard?a potential loss function measuring what? Brain cells from trying to decipher this post?

Well, really you want to analyze what is known as VOC, Voice Of the Customer. So the customer would be you, internally, or your patrons, hotel guests, external. You want to keep your ears and eyes open for any sort of complaint.I would then investigate that complaint and try to quantify or qualify it in terms of its current performance. This…[Read more]

RC replied to the topic originator of six sigma in the forum General 13 years, 6 months ago
Exactly.
What I’m proposing is that isn’t there a point where the “risk” is spending too many resources on a project to increase process performance to produce a yield that is significantly lower than a yield that would be produced if the same resources were directed at a process that is at a lower sigma level?
I’m saying that wouldn’t…[Read more] -

Good point, Mike. Like a shark, if you stop swimming, you’ll drown. I also like to keep in mind that with a business perspective it’s not always necessary to acheive a perfect process performance but simply to acheive a process performance better than that of your competitors.

RC replied to the topic originator of six sigma in the forum General 13 years, 6 months ago
Of course there is no “universal” correlation between sigma level and cost of improvement, the relationship varies from application to application. In one case a company for whatever particular thing they are trying to control might see nixing out a few more defects to be too costly and wouldn’t continue. What I meant by being constrained by the…[Read more]

Wouldn’t a FMEA show the most significant failures based on a rating system?If your categories are appropriate enough, then it shouldn’t be a problem. The “criticality” of the words is dependant on how you categorize them. If house number is more critical than the street spelling, this should be evident in the FMEA based on the weight of that…[Read more]
