After we define the problem, we need evidence to support that it wasn’t just a freak accident. If odds are that it’ll never happen again, we won’t need to anything, right? In daily life, we are conditioned by habit; in diet, sleep, work, stress, and so on. When something unusual happens, it raises alarms that something might be wrong. In manufacturing engineering, data can be tracked using Statistical Process Control (SPC). Operators and equipment records process data of test, measurement, and yield. When the process is automated, a large database of “normal” data can be determined. Once a baseline is established, there are still allowable tolerances that are expected from noise and variation. An example SPC chart. When data exceeds the UCL (3 sigma above mean), there needs to be action! As expected from Six Sigma: any data point that crosses beyond the Lower Control Limit (LCL) or Upper Control Limit (UCL) should be measured. With these deviations compared against a long history of da...
