marklamfu replied to the topic Calculate Control Limits from the sample itself? in the forum General 17 years, 4 months ago
The samples(subgroup) used to calculate control limit need come from different shift /operator , at least 20 subgroups is need, so, one day ‘s test-data is not enough.
It is need to remind the control limit need to modify (CL may advise) if process capability is changed.
Best regards

marklamfu replied to the topic SPC Coaching in the forum General 17 years, 4 months ago
Hi:
I believe we need to know the process capability of the control chart establishment.
If the control chart is generated based on a capable process (e.g. Cpk>1.33), the in-control plot-point can ensure good shipment, because the possible escaped rate under this situation is less than the escaped rate of performing normal sample plan i…[Read more] -
marklamfu replied to the topic Cpk for the Entire Process in the forum General 18 years ago
Hi 2 sigma:
We can category CPK as “process CPK” and “product CPK”, for the multi-assemble process, we only need to know individual process CPK ( generally, not include inspection stations) as to improve, a overall process Cpk seem no meaning.
If we want to know overall qulity of final product which passed all assemble process, we also can us…[Read more] -
marklamfu replied to the topic Performance metric in a product spec in the forum General 18 years, 6 months ago
Dear sir:
The problem what you met is common issue, in fact, in some situations, it is very difficulty to directly measure a product by quantified indexs, my opinion is:
1. According to SixSigmg basic rules, the defect means the defect of CTQ(critical to quality), it does not directly equal to defect of product. so, your performance metric mus…[Read more] -
marklamfu replied to the topic DPPM Monitoring in the forum General 18 years, 7 months ago
The direct DMMP chart is not a variable control chart, generally, for process or product control , we perfer to use variable chart ( e.g. X_bar &R chart , IX_MR chart,etc.), DPPM chart is used to review the product performance achieved,
If no chance to do variable control due to product nature (only attribute parameter) we also can use DPPM to…[Read more] -

marklamfu replied to the topic Low PPM environment in the forum General 18 years, 10 months ago
The attributed chart(e.g. P-chart, np-chart,etc) do not fit the so low ppm, please use variable method to control the process, X_bar chart is OK, CPK trend is OK yet.

marklamfu replied to the topic RR studies with one operator in the forum General 18 years, 11 months ago
It is a interested case!
One operator to perform R&R stduy is not adequate, as you said, only one R (Repeatability) is done.
You known, the aim of perform R&R study is to control the measurement as a suitable condition to meet customer requirement. Lack of another R, the status of this measurment can not be confirmed.
In fact, the persons in…[Read more] -

No way to 100% ensure right implementation all time. I recommend you to follow the process below to implement new process:
1. Document the new process
2. Train up & quaify the every user with the document
3. Monitor and audit the implement
4. Identify and correct the deviation
5. Review and enhance the step1~step4. -
marklamfu replied to the topic sampling plan in the forum General 18 years, 11 months ago
For electrical test, usually, the variable sampling plan(e.g. Mil-std-414) is used to control outgoing parameter’s distribution.If you used attribute sampling plan, in order to smooth your process to reduce the WIP , you can reduce lot size, or apply CSP-1 sampling plan.

marklamfu replied to the topic DPMO in the forum General 19 years ago
It is for striving for Zreo defect and enhacing the sensitivity to defect, 0.1% defect rate =1000 ppm, 0.01%=100 ppm, 0.001% =10 ppm, when quality achieved a high level, using % to measure defect seem not sensitive, e.g. six sigma process defect is 3.4 ppm, (0.00034% seem ….), as if to buy gold, we say to buy 10 gram not say to buy 0.001 kg ,…[Read more]

marklamfu replied to the topic Yield comparison in the forum General 19 years ago
Yield is typical attribute data , t-test is used to comparing 2 sets variable data, if you want to use T-test or Poisson for attribute data, I believe, it is not accurate, Generally, we can plot unit(daily, weekly) yield as a trend for comparing, or transfer attribute as a variable data and then use t-test or other tool(s) for comparision,

marklamfu replied to the topic Modified control limits in the forum General 19 years ago
The high CP(2.29) means the process variation is small (the Spec. have cover about 13.8 std.), for 6 sigma process, only CP>2.0 is not enough, at same time, the CPK >1.5( with 1.5 sigma mean shift) and DPPM<=3.4ppm.
Th cause of CP high but process out of control is big mean shift. the fianl index to measure process capability is CPK not CP, CPK…[Read more] -
marklamfu replied to the topic Question The 1.5 SD shift in mean in the forum General 19 years, 1 month ago
Answer your question:
1. Small std. compare to product spec. and expected process capability , if expected CPk>1, small std means that 6std 1.33, small std means that 8std<(USL-LSL).
2. For grinding process you mentioned, if machine setting have limited change, the parameter mean of product will be shifted, but, the std. may be no change. in…[Read more] -
marklamfu replied to the topic Question The 1.5 SD shift in mean in the forum General 19 years, 1 month ago
Firstly, the most important condition of a stable process is to have small std, the high variation means process data can not follow statistical rules, at that time, we can not to precisely control process & predict what will be happen for the process because the population of process can not determined through samples analysis.
Secondly, if proc…[Read more] -

I do not think Champion equal to BU Head or Sponsor, I think Champion is only a honorary title for the BBs who have successfully completed serveal big six sigma projects. Champion may be a project leader , perhaps, he/she also may be a sponsor in another project.

marklamfu replied to the topic Optimal samples in Individuals Charts in the forum General 19 years, 1 month ago
For getting a reliable control limit of X_bar chart, generally, number of subgroups is 20 at least , each subgroup include a few samples ( >3), total samples 60~100, for individual chart, every subgroup only have 1 sample, considering the nature of normal distribution, 30 samples is recommended.
