Reality Test……

Dr. Juran noted that inspection was at best, 80% accurate
One-hundred-percent inspection is commonly used to avoid shipping
nonconforming product. Each of the items produced is measured and
judged to be either conforming or nonconforming. The conforming items
get shipped, and the nonconforming items get set aside for use as factory-
authorized replacement parts or some other equally ignominious fate. It all
seems quite simple until you do the math. The purpose of this article is to
show what happens when a product stream is subjected to 100-percent
screening inspection with less-than-perfect measurement systems

What is Lean
• Lean manufacturing is a methodology that focuses on minimizing waste within
manufacturing systems while simultaneously maximizing productivity.

• Lean manufacturing is based on a number of specific principles, such as Kaizen,


or continuous improvement.

What is Lean

The 7 Wastes of Lean Production


• Defects, which require effort and cost for corrections.
• Over-production of a product;
• Waiting, whether it is people waiting or idle equipment
• Unnecessary Transportation;
• Excess Inventory;

• Unnecessary Motion of people, equipment or machinery;

• Excess-processing or putting more time into a product than a customer


needs, such as designs that require high-tech machinery for unnecessary
features;
8th Waste..? Un utilized talent/Resource?

26
Seven Lean Manufacturing Tools and Concepts
Heijunka: production leveling or smoothing that seeks to produce a continuous flow of
production, releasing work to the plant at the required rate and avoiding interruptions.

Kanban: A signal -- either physical, such as tag or empty bin, or electronically sent through a
system -- used to streamline processes and create just-in-time delivery.

Jidoka: A method of providing machines and humans with the ability to detect an abnormality
and stop work until it can be corrected.

Andon: A visual aid, such as a flashing light, that alerts workers to a problem.

Poka-yoke: A mechanism that safeguards against human error, such as an indicator light that
turns on if a necessary step was missed, a sign given when a bolt was tightened the correct
number of times or a system that blocks a next step until all the previous steps are completed.

5S: A set of practices for organizing workspaces to create efficient, effective and safe areas for
workers and which prevent wasted effort and time. 5S emphasizes organization and
cleanliness.

SMED/QCT: A method to instantly change the tool/die to reduce setup time of a


machine/press.

Lean thinking…

Lean Thinking is all about…

• Rethinking every aspect of jobs, careers, functions and firms in order to correctly
specify value as defined by the customer.

• Consider the customers investment in time and effort to be able to receive the
service.

• Putting the entire Value Stream for specific products relentlessly in the
foreground

• Making value flow continuously along the whole length of Value stream

• Ensuring this flow is pulled by the customer in pursuit of perfection

Six Sigma
Graph of the normal distribution, which underlies the statistical assumptions of the
Six Sigma model. In the centre at 0, the Greek letter µ (mu) marks the mean, with
the horizontal axis showing distance from the mean, marked in standard
deviations and given the letter σ (sigma). The greater the standard deviation, the
greater is the spread of values encountered. For the green curve shown above, µ =
0 and σ = 1. The upper and lower specification limits (marked USL and LSL) are at a
distance of 6σ from the mean. Because of the properties of the normal distribution,
values lying that far away from the mean are extremely unlikely: approximately 1 in a
billion too low, and the same too high. Even if the mean were to move right or left by
1.5σ at some point in the future (1.5 sigma shift, coloured red and blue), there is still
a good safety cushion. This is why Six Sigma aims to have processes where the
mean is at least 6σ away from the nearest specification limit.

© Confederation of Indian Industry


36
Six Sigma
Role of the 1.5 sigma shift

Experience has shown that processes usually do not perform as well in the long term
as they do in the short term.
As a result, the number of sigmas that will fit between the process mean and the
nearest specification limit may well drop over time, compared to an initial short-term
study
To account for this real-life increase in process variation over time, an empirically
based 1.5 sigma shift is introduced into the calculation.

According to this idea, a process that fits 6 sigma between the process mean and
the nearest specification limit in a short-term study will in the long term fit only 4.5
sigma – either because the process mean will move over time, or because the long-
term standard deviation of the process will be greater than that observed in the short
term, or both.

Kano Model
Developed to reflect the multiple dimensions of quality Vs customer
satisfaction
Dissatisfiers:
Basic needs - Presence of these
features or functions does not
produce satisfaction, but their
absence creates strong
dissatisfaction.

Performance:
Satisfiers - Increasing these features or
functions leads to higher
satisfaction.

Excitement:
Delighter - Presence of these
unexpected features or functions
leads to "delight“ or customers
being "pleasantly surprised".

Defining CTQ
A CTQ is a Product or Service characteristic that satisfies a
Customer Requirement OR a Process Requirement

• Customer CTQs are often hazy & they must be converted into meaningful internal
goals that are assignable to functions
• Some functions in the organization may also need to look at internal customers. In this
case, Business CTQs may mingle with Customer CTQs
• Internal CTQs are internal organizational deliverables that characterize a
customer CTQ

Some of the tools used to convert Customer CTQs / Business CTQs into internal CTQs
✓ CTQ Drill-down
✓ Quality Function Deployment (QFD / House of Quality)

Basic Statistics – Numeric Representation

Project data can be numerically represented in two forms:

Mean Range
Median Variance
Mode Standard Deviation

Measures of central tendency Measures of variation

Location Spread

© Confederation of Indian Industry


81
Measures Of Location In Data
• Mean
– Arithmetic mean represents the simple average of observations in a
sample

• Median
– Value at which at least 50% of observations are above and at least 50%
of the data are below
– For even number of observations the average of the two central values is
often called the Median

• p-Quartile
– Value at which at least p(100)% of observations are below and at least
(1-p) 100% of the data are above
– 25% Quartile: 25% of data (one quarter) are below and 75% are above
– 75% Quartile: 75% of data (three quarters) are below and 25% are above

© Confederation of Indian Industry


82
Measures Of Spread In Data
• Variance
– Obtained by averaging the squared deviations of observations around the
mean. Because its units are the square of the variable Y, it is a measure
that is not used directly but used to calculate standard deviations

• Standard Deviation
– Obtained by taking the square root of the variance and measures the
spread around the Mean. The interpretation in asymmetric sample
distribution is not always clear cut
• Range
– Obtained by subtracting the smallest observation (minimum) from the
largest observation (maximum)

• Coefficient of Variation (CV)


– The CV is the Standard Deviation divided by the Mean

83
Using Data To Understand Process Performance
❑ Process data can be collected regularly
✓ Hourly
✓ Daily
✓ Weekly
✓ Monthly
✓ Quarterly

❑ Using different timing for data collection can yield valuable insights into a
process
▪ Measurements on the first 30 lots completed one week
✓ Measurements on every 5th lot
✓ Weekly yields from the past two years

❑ The first step in understanding process performance variation should always


be to plot such data in time order

Gauge R & R

Gage R&R (Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility) is the


amount of measurement variation introduced by a
measurement system, which consists of the measuring
instrument itself and the individuals using the instrument.
Purpose:
• Determine how much variability is due to the gage or instrument
• Isolate the components of variability of the measurement system
• Assess whether the instrument or gage is capable (suitable for
intended application)

Cause and Effect Diagram

This is a useful method for identifying the causes of a problem. It classifies the
various causes thought to affect the results of work, indicating with arrows the
cause-and-effect relationship among them.

This also called a “Fish Bone”diagram as the structure resembles that of a fish
or “ Ishikawa” diagram which is also named after the Quality expert who
championed this tool.

Structure of the Diagram

➢ Diagram has a “ CAUSE “ and an “ EFFECT “ side

➢“ Effect “ can be termed s the characteristic that is affected or is currently a


point of concern or Problem.This may include problems faced across any area.

➢“Causes” can be termed as the contributors to the problem involving various


factors such as men, machines, operating conditions, method, maintenance etc.

Pareto Diagram

Pareto diagrams are specialized Bar graphs that can be used to show the relative
frequency of events such as Bad products,Repairs, defects etc.

A Pareto diagram presents information in the descending order, from the largest
category to the smallest.Points are plotted for the cumulative total in each bar
and connected with a line to create a graph that shows the relative incremental
addition of each category to the total.

HISTOGRAMS

A Histogram or “ Frequency distribution Table” is a graph that displays the Distribution


of Data collected in a frequency table,which is a chart that divides the range of data
into several equal sections to compare the frequency of occurrence in each section.

The Histogram drawn from the frequency table resembles a bar graph composed of
columns representing the frequency at which data appears in various sections of the
range.

Scatter Diagrams

Scatter diagrams are used to study the possibility of relationship


between one variable to another.This is used to test for possible cause
and effect relationship.
A Scatter diagram makes it clear whether a relationship exists and if so
how strong it is.The variable that’s being investigated as the possible “
Cause” is on the X axis and the “Effect” variable is on the Y axis.

Stratification

Stratification is a useful technique in analyzing data to find improvement


opportunities.
Stratification helps to analyze cases in which data actually masks the real
facts. This often happens when the recorded data is from many sources
but is treated as one number.
This tool aims to break down single numbers into meaningful categories
or classifications to focus on corrective action.
For Ex., Data on minor injuries in a plant could be broken up as follows.
By Type : Cuts,burns
By Location of Injury : Eyes, hands, legs etc.
By Department : Maintenance, Production, Shipping etc.

122
Control Charts

Control Charts are used when we need to check how much variability in a process is due
to random variation ( CHANCE CAUSES ) and how much is due to unique events/ specific
actions ( ASSIGNABLE CAUSES) in order to determine whether a process is in Statistical
Control.

These are also Called Run charts in absence of Control limits

They represent change in measurements over a period of time.

This involves gathering, organizing, charting and interpreting data.

Failure Mode Effect Analysis
Definition of FMEA
FMEA is systematized and analytical technique intended to:

❑ Identify and evaluate potential failure modes and causes associated


with product and process design
❑ Identify actions that will eliminate or minimize the Risk associated
with potential product and process design failures
❑ Document the processes of due care and problem closure to
positively define what the design must do to satisfy the customer
❑ Be a tool for building and refining - not simply completed then tossed

133
Risk Priority Number (RPN)
❑ SEVERITY ( Of Effect) - Importance of effect on customer requirement -
Could also be concerned with safety and other risks if failure occurs.

❑ OCCURRENCE ( Of Cause ) - Frequency with which a given cause occurs


and creates failure mode.

❑ DETECTION (Capability of Current Controls) - Ability of current control


scheme to detect:

▪ All three use a scale of 1- 10 ,with 1 being Best or lowest risk,


▪ 10 being worst or highest risk

RPN = Severity X Occurrence X Detection

Effects Causes Controls

© Confederation of Indian Industry


134
CURRENT CONTROLS :
The mechanisms that prevent or detect the failure mode before it
reaches the customer. Current controls include SPC, Inspections,
Monitoring, Training, Preventive Maintenance.

RECOMMENDED ACTION :
Corrective actions to reduce occurrence, and / or Detection rankings.
Directed at the highest RPN and critical severity items.

Basic idea behind sampling
Data is collected from a sample that is representative of a
population. And then, we proceed to make valid conclusions
about that population.

151
Hypothesis Testing
• Hypothesis testing is to test any assumption:
:does work experience affect productivity in a call
centre?
: does temperature affect yield in a chemical
process?

Exercise:
In relation to your project, write an assumptions to be
validated?

© Confederation of Indian Industry


152
Hypothesis Testing
• Real Life Hypothesis: The newly modified machine will increase
output.
• This is called the Alternative Hypothesis (Ha)

• There is no difference in output between the old machines and the


improved one.
• This is called the Null Hypothesis (Ho)

➢ It is the null hypothesis that is always tested in an attempt to ‘disprove’ it &


support the alternative hypothesis.
➢Generally, the null hypothesis would state that ‘null’ condition exists, i.e.
there is nothing new happening, the old theory is still true.
➢The alternative hypothesis, on the other hand, would state that the new
theory is true, there are new standards, etc.

© Confederation of Indian Industry


153
Alternate Hypothesis

Alternate Hypothesis denoted as Ha or H1 can have three different

form:

– Greater than (>)


– Less than (<)
– Not equal (=/=)

© Confederation of Indian Industry


154
Writing Hypothesis statements
Assumption : Tendulkar scores more runs than Sehwag on average.

➢Hypotheses are statistical statements of assumption & its


complement.
HA: Statement we want to prove is: μ (Tendulkar) > μ (Sehwag)
Ho: Statement of complementarity is: μ (Tendulkar) = μ(Sehwag)
➢Typically, H0 is stated first. As such,
H0 : μ (Tendulkar) = μ (Sehwag)
HA : μ (Tendulkar) > μ (Sehwag)

Please note that hypothesis is at population level and hence use of


symbol μ (and not X-bar)

© Confederation of Indian Industry


155
Probability Value or P-value of the Test Statistics

➢ P-value is the probability of null hypothesis being true

• This probability value is used to draw conclusion whether

to reject or not to reject Null hypothesis

• When P-value is low (below α level, usually 5% or 0.05 as

rule of thumb), there is evidence to reject Null hypothesis

Correlation and Regression - Objective

❑ To see how the performance variable is influenced or related to an


input variable

❑ To ascertain how changes in the input variable affect the


performance variable

❑ To predict performance using input values

❑ To understand the relationship between performance and input. Is it


linear, curvilinear, S-shaped? Does it have saturation levels?

❑Correlation describes the strength of a linear relationship between two


variables

❑Regression tells us how to draw the straight line described by the correlation
