Causes of Variation Random Causes difficult or expensive to control e.g., outside humidity, line voltage Assignable Causes easier to correct e.g., employee error, new materials
Comparing Process Variation to Tolerance Limits
High Process Capability After Technological Process Change
Control Charts Variables - concentrates on mean for some measurable characteristic. diameter length Attribute - data is based on counts or the number of times we observe a particular event. proportion defective/non-defective go/no go proportion pass/fail
