Interpret Process Capability Study

$$Measure$$Interpret results from the provided process capability study.

Cable wire diameter data:

An engineer at a metals company wants to determine whether the diameter of a cable wire that the company manufactures meets specifications. Each hour, operators take a subgroup of five consecutive cable wires from the production line and measure the diameters. A cable wire must be $0\mathrm{.}55\backslash$pm $0\mathrm{.}05$ cm in diameter to meet engineering specifications.

Provide your response on the Process Capability Response Sheet. Late and Missed Deliveries Reduction Project

Throughout the course, you will refer to the L&M Deliveries case presented below to complete your assignments. Each assignment will build on the previous and take you through various parts of what a real project would include and require of a Green Belt team member.

Assume you work in logistics for a parts manufacturer and you have been assigned as the team leader for an LSSGB project focused on reducing the number of missed and late deliveries to your customer$$s assembly plants. You were assigned this project by your Sponsor, Susan Keyes, the VP of Operations, and will be supported by your organization$$s LSSBB$,$ Dan Burton, who will serve as your coach.

Susan directed this project to be activated because the number of late and missed deliveries has been steadily increasing over the past year. Historically, the company had maintained an average $95\%$ on$-$time monthly delivery performance, but over the past $12$ months, it has steadily deteriorated to an average of $70\%,$ reaching a low of $66\%$ last month.

The impact has been dramatic: your premium freight costs have increased by $$200,000$ from last year, you lost two customers with average annual revenue of $$1\mathrm{.}5$M$,$ and you were forced to reimburse one customer $$50,000$ for an assembly line shutdown caused by one of your late deliveries.

Susan and Dan have indicated you can have up to six part$-$time team members to support the effort; you just need to tell them what functions you need. You$$ll have a maximum of six months to complete the project, but less time is better.Interpreting Process Capability Results

In this week's final assignment, you're asked to interpret the results from a process capability

study using the results provided.

Cable wire diameter data

An engineer at a metals company wants to determine whether the diameter of a cable wire

that the company manufactures meets specifications. Each hour, operators take a subgroup of

five consecutive cable wires from the production line and measure the diameters. A cable wire

must be $0\mathrm{.}55+-0\mathrm{.}05cm$ in diameter to meet engineering specifications.
