About the Program:
Today engineers have to be concerned about
identifying manufacturing problems and identifying areas for improvement.
Decisions about the process cannot be made without analyzing data collected
from the process. The analysis of the data is easy but the interpretation of
the analysis is not an easy task. The formal physical methods require a good
understanding of the theory associated with the methods if valid conclusions
are to be drawn from the analysis. In many cases, the engineers do not have
this understanding. In other cases, the formal approach is very complex.
The purpose of this presentation is to discuss and review some graphical
techniques that can be used by engineers to aid in their data analysis.
Graphical techniques are informal methods that can yield a great variety of
information, much of which is difficult to obtain with the formal statistical
procedures.

Post-Meeting Follow-up:
27 Quality Professionals and guests attended our March 2005
meeting.
Mike Mazu updated the group on the state of ASQ a year after the new
membership model was enacted. Membership continues to decline. The
Associate, Forum and Internet memberships have not turned the tide.
Membership and renewals are down compared to past years but there are still
several months left for a recovery. Section 0904 and Region 9 is following
the same trend as the Society.
The Door Prizes were won Chuck McPherson (Quality Engineering
Handbook) and George Babcock (CQE Refresher Course on CD-Rom. Both prizes
were donated by Quality America.
Mike Pohl demonstrated Excel's ability to create a Box
and Whisker Plot.
Steve Scott mentioned an article on the Statistical
Flaws in Excel.
Mike Mazu presented the main program on Graphical Analysis
of Data. It was also noted that Mike was listed as one of the Ten
Unsung Heroes of Quality in the November 2004 issue of Quality Progress.
