A pharmaceutical manufacturer is designing an experiment to test four different capsule ingredients designed to reduce dissolution time. Each ingredient will be tested at 10 milligrams and 40 milligrams. A full factorial design is used with five replications per run. The number of levels, factors and runs is, respectively:
Deming called the technique of studying a sample to gain understanding of the distribution of a population an “enumerative study.” His main objection to these studies was:
Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ) can be classified as either Visible Costs or Hidden Costs but not both. (True/False)
A six sigma team has been chartered to improve the way in which a company takes orders for its products. Which of the following tools should the team use to determine all of the potential pitfalls and the actual defects that occur?
Data are collected in xy pairs and a scatter diagram shows the points are grouped very close to a straight line that tips down on its right hand end. A reasonable value for the coefficient of correlation is:
An x-bar and R chart has four part measurements per sample. The control limits on the averages chart are 2.996 and 3.256. Assume the process data form a normal distribution. What is the probability that the next part measurement falls outside the control limits?
One of the approaches used by TRIZ is referred to as “removing the contradiction.” A project team is asked to determine how many coats of paint should be applied to a panel. In this case the contradiction is:
