2 Operational Definition Need two things: –a method of measurement or test –a set of criteria for judgment For example, what are operational definitions for the following: –on-time delivery –good service –50% wool blanket source: Moen, Nolan and Provost, Improving Quality Through Planned Experimentation

3 Data Collection Collect 5 data points for each team member Plot run chart (use chart wizard) Construct a histogram (Data | Data Analysis | Histogram) Construct a box and whiskers plot (use box&whiskers.xls) Calculate x-bar and s (Data | Data Analysis | Descriptive Statistics) Discuss results and be prepared to brief results to other groups

6 What the Exercise Statistics Reveal The sample mean (x-bar) describes typical distances in one number. Other measures of central tendency include: median and mode. The sample standard deviation (s) provides a measure of the ‘average’ deviation around the mean.

7 Using x-bar and s The empirical rule assumes the underlying distribution is normal: – 68% within ± 1 s – 95% within ± 2 s – 99 % within ±3 s For any distribution: – At least 75% within ± 2 s – At least 89% within ± 3 s

8 Histograms Shows the distribution of process outcomes. Look for center, shape and spread Compare to: –your expectations and knowledge –target and specification requirements –across shifts, operators, machines, etc
