As an analogy….once you reach your desired weight after a diet, do you stop weighing yourself? No. You keep monitoring your weight to be sure it doesn’t change. The same would be true if you reach your desired blood pressure because you are taking drugs to help you. You would still periodically take your blood pressure to make sure nothing…[Read more]

@rbutler Robert, as usual, a concise simple to understand explanation LOL. I always learn so much from your posts…at least the parts that I understand. Hope all is well. 1 year ago

@shar6580 Double check the correctness of your assumptions. The only assumption for normality is in the residuals. There is no normality assumption for the raw data. Save your efforts of all those transformations. 1 year ago

@flamepoop1120 This looks like a homework problem. Although the iSixSigma audience can be extremely helpful, they are not here to do your work for you.

What do YOU think? Are you having trouble getting started? Where are you getting tripped up?

The more specific you are — and the more of your own thinking you provide — the more likely you are…[Read more]

@Marc68 – I’m going to take exception to @cseider and @poetengineer in their guidance on this issue.  When determining calibration frequency there are two items to evaluate – the bias and precision.  While an MSA can help, it also introduces issues related to the human element, but that is not what calibration is about.  Calibration is about th…[Read more]

@ahamumtaz – You should go back and research the definitions of Cp, Cpk and Sigma that were provided to you.  You should find some verbiage that states something like: Cp is “potential” capability, whereas Cpk is “actual” or “observed” capability.  The difference being the location of the distribution in relation to the target and upper/lower b…[Read more]

@derekkoz – as the learned @rbutler identifies, once you limit the number of decimal places you are going to use, you have created a discrete measure.  The key is whether the number of decimals is sufficient to provide the resolution needed to answer the question being investigated.  Now, don’t get me wrong, there are certainly absolute discrete m…[Read more]
