Using JMP® to Process Historical Data and Support Decision Making Silvia Vaaben Coloplast A/S Abstract Methods 3 years of historical production results were analyzed in the search for the critical parameter causing quality deviations on the water absorption (WA). The critical parameter was found and quantified by a combination of a simple Y-by-X fit and by an EVOP approach The results from the EVOP and the analysis of the historical data supported the decisions implemented. Analysis Y – by – X fit EVOP Statistical Distribution Add Image Conclusions Objective Results The water absorption is controlled by adjusting the composition of the material The Percent of OOS is reduced To determine the Critical Process Parameter Apply EVOP Approach Correct and control de quality of WA Identification of the Critical Process Parameter Quantification of the Impact Adjustment of Material Content References Add Image Add Graphs Pressure Sensitive Adhesives Statistics for Six Sigma Green Belts Visual Six Sigma
