About the Program:
The solution to many problems in
a manufacturing environment requires the collection and analysis of data. The
analysis can be informal (eyeballing) or can be very formal (statistical). The
formal approach provides an orderly way to collect, analyze and interpret data
to satisfy the objectives of the investigations. In order to become more
knowledgeable to the statistical approach many engineers and managers have taken
industrial statistics, statistical process control and design of experiment
courses. The most common remark made by many of these individuals is "I can
do the class room examples but I have trouble applying the concepts and
techniques in my work area".
In order to aid these individuals in better
understanding the methodology, a case study will be presented that will
illustrate how statistics can be used to improve and control a process. The
purpose of this case study will not be to document the actual study but to
highlight the methodology:
- to select the best process operating conditions.
- to make the process more consistent.
- to make a process in control and capable.
- to determine which variables contribute to setting the process on target
