Feel free to calculate per product but you can calculate per shift just fine. 3 weeks, 1 day ago

If you have zero defects, then you wouldn’t need it. It would be hard to imagine zero defects over a long period of time if you show a lack of control for the short amount of time captured in your chart.

If you had a Cpk and Ppk of 2+, then go elsewhere first.

Please be aware that specification limits aren’t used for control chart…[Read more]

I can’t imagine doing SPC on amount in and amount out if you are looking at quality as your pain point. Knowing nothing else of your process, why not look at quality % with a run chart. If you’re going to do SPC, I bet you’d have too many things to investigate if quality goes out of control. 4 months, 3 weeks ago

Are you sure you did the comparison correctly? Did you wait until the mean and/or standard deviation looked at a stable process reading before comparing the means or sd? 6 months, 2 weeks ago

@michaelcyger great response….. though I’m way behind on the praise! 11 months, 1 week ago

If you can use excel faster…do that and then copy into their Minitab worksheet.

@rbutler brings up excellent points.

See if you can quickly change your measurement system to a variable/continuous data system and confirm it’s performing with an MSA. You’ll solve your problem well and faster and learn more about the process if you are able. 12 months ago

@lilianapereira Did you check our Case Studies section? You should find some Black Belt projects in there! https://www.isixsigma.com/implementation/case-studies/ 1 year, 2 months ago

I would do it.  If they have something like a green belt–you’ll learn more. 1 year, 3 months ago

Interesting article.  It’s kind of “wonky” but they seem to be making a mountain out of a mole hill if I have the expression correctly.  Basically, just because one picks the “correct” side of the stat test with the appropriate p-value, there is uncertainty which is why things should always be proven “in the field” or else one w…[Read more]

Sure you could.

Just look at your data–if it’s reported/recorded to the nearest 5 or 10 or 100…then you won’t have the precision potentially to use as continuous.

Don’t forget to do an MSA! 1 year, 7 months ago

Check this website. or google…but lots of advice out there.

Basically, find a project with measurable results, a manageable size, identify team members with a project champion and find an impactful goal and start there.
