What matters is that ‘we ain’t seen nothing yet’,but the forum still persists in trying to find out who can p**s further than anyone else.Does anyone have a pension left?

Thank you all for your responses to my question.
I realize that it was vague, and (maybe) mixing apples and oranges, but I was so dumbfounded by the explanation I was given that I needed to get it out of my system.

Alex, thanks for the feedback.  This is all new to me.  I just started a class in 6sig and its a bit confusing.  Do you have any material I can reference?  These are the areas I am stuck on:

A scenario might be 2 stamping machines performing differently from one another.  You may have consistency within each machine, but not between them.  Your limits on the x-bar chart may be tight (due to the consistency of each machine) but the averages may all fall outside of the control limits.  The number one thing to remember in control ch…[Read more]

When you did the 2 Sample t-test, what was your p-value?

Brandon, I wish more people understood that uncovering and studying defects is a good thing! Early in my career, I had a Japanese professor who said, “When it comes to improving quality, you can’t be afraid to open your kimono!”

If you are using software to set up your GRR Study,it will determine the sources of variation (sum of squares) and add them together.
