WEEK 3: Modeling Randomness in Manufacturing Processes

Released 3/20/2018

After concentrating on deterministic changes, this week the focus is on

identifying and characterizing random behavior in the process output.

Graded Problem Sets #3 is due on 4/3/2018

WEEK 4: SAMPLING AND SAMPLING PROBABILITY

DISTRIBUTIONS
Released 3/27/2018

The focus this week is on “calibrating” our models using sampling of data, sample
statistics (average and sample standard deviation) and on the resulting new
probability distributions (chi-squared and Student’s-t).

Graded Problem Sets #4 is due on 4/10/2018.

WEEK 5: STATISTICAL HYPOTHESES AND CONTROL CHARTS

Released 4/3/2018

Now we use the “calibrated” pdfs to make inferences about underlying behavior,
which leads to the fundamental hypotheses behind control charts for
manufacturing processes.

Graded Problem Sets #5 is due on 4/17/2018.

WEEK 6: STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL USING SIMPLE CHARTS

Released 4/10/2018

This is an off-week in that no new Graded Problem Sets will be released. It

provides you time to complete previous assignments and get ready for the Mid-
Term next week.
Graded Problem Sets #6 is due on 4/24/2018.

WEEK 7: ADVANCED SPC METHODS

Released 4/17/2018

We introduce alternative methods for looking at the data in a chart, including

the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) and cumulative sum
(CUSUM) approaches, and also introduce a multivariate version of control
charts when the process has multiple interaction output.

Graded Problem Sets #7 is due on 5/1/2018

WEEK 8: CASE STUDY: SPC IN ACTION

Released 4/24/2018

This week we present a recent project done by students applying the concept of
2.8301x in a manufacturing shop on a precision machining process, illustrating
use of both good statistical techniques and standard operating procedures.

EXAM 5/1/2018
This is a timed exam that covers all material presented to date. You have one
week to complete the test.

The exam is due on or before 5/8/2018.
