Module Objectives

By the end of this module, the participant will be able to:

Why Learn ANOVA?

ANOVA
• Performs hypothesis testing for two or more means
• Evaluates several PIVs
• Handles multiple levels
• Shows sources of process variation
• Generates an underlying variability estimate

MQPM
© 2001 ConceptFlow 3
What Is ANOVA?

• Hypothesis Test for MEANS


• Uses two components of variance
• within variance (no change)
• between variance (after a change)
• Uses the F-distribution to test the variance components
• Comprehensive test for significance
• Backbone test statistic for subsequent complex analysis

ANOVA is used to test two or more means

Process Variation

• All processes are influenced by other factors


• Is variation due to a real factor effect or are the differences just
random variation?
• t-tests are tools that offer some help, but are limited to testing two
means
• Finding factors that are sources of variation are key to process
improvement

ANOVA allows concurrent testing of several means

The Process Revealed

Overall, next-day delivery of client overnight packages is running


94.56%. After a team Cause and Effect meeting, it is suspected that
there are difference in vendors. Four vendors are currently used. Data is
collected for the last 10 weeks and is grouped by the vendor

Process Variation: Real Or Random?

Is there a real difference in vendor?


MQPM

The ANOVA Hypothesis Test

• Ho: …n
• Ha: at least one mean is different
• p-value will be used to evaluate the hypothesis

The null is no difference in means. The alternative is one


or more is different

• Invoices are processed in 4 different regions of the country. We want


to know if there is a difference in processing speeds in any region of
the country. We know that the underlying variability of processing
speeds is one standard deviation = 30 minutes
• If we want to detect a 10 minute difference, how many samples do we
need to collect?

On-Time Delivery Problem

• A multi-vari study shows that


trucking company may be
significant to on-time delivery
• Seven trucking companies
are randomly called to the
warehouse to pick up
shipments to customers
• You have collected delivery
data in an Excel™
spreadsheet named
ON TIME.XLS
• Is there a significance in late
deliveries among trucking
companies?
• Be prepared to explain your
results
