Manufacturing Key Characteristic |
|
Definition
A tool to help decide where to focus limited resources. |
|
|
Term
Manufacturing Key Characteristic |
|
Definition
•Features whose variability has the greatest impact on fit, performance, or service life.
–Key characteristics provide a focus for product improvement
–Quality is conformance to nominal on all key characteristics
–Continuous improvement comes from reducing variation by:
•Eliminating special causes
•Improving consistency of measurement systems
•Control Product by controlling the process
Reducing losses and eliminating waste |
|
|
Term
A contractor’s quality management system should be capable of these activities. |
|
Definition
–Monitor, measure, analyze, control, and improve processes
–Reduce product variation
–Measure/verifyproduct conformity
–Establish mechanisms for field product performance and feedback
–Implement an effective root-cause analysis and corrective action system.” |

Term
Statistical Process Control |
|
Definition
•What does it do?
–Focuses attention on detecting and monitoringprocess variation over time
–Distinguishes special from common causes of variation, as a guide to local or management action
–Provides a common language for discussing process performance |
|
|
Term
Statistical Process Control (SPC) |
|
Definition
•What is it?
–A way to monitor and understand the behavior of a process.
–Uses statistics to give feedback on abilities and limitations
–Help to make economical decisions about causes that affect the process |
|
|
Term
Common causes of variation |
|
Definition
Machine vibration, vibration, temperature fluctuations, raw material variations, human variation in setting control dials |
|
|
Term
Common causes of variation |
|
Definition
This is present, the output of the process forms a distribution that is stable over time and is predictable |
|

|
Term
Common Causes of Variation |
|
Definition
- Machine vibration, vibration, temperature fluctation, raw material variations, human variation in setting control dials
- if only these are present, the outpout of the process forms a distribution that is stable over time and is predictable
- Need management to resolve
|
|
|
Term
Special Causes of Variation |
|
Definition
- Anything that causes variations that are not part of the stable process
- assignable cause or unnatural cause, batch of defective material, bad set up, human error, incorrect recipe, blown gasket, earthquake
- If these are present, the process output is unstable over time and unpredictable
- Resolved by local workers
