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:
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?
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:
A principle disadvantage of fractional factorial experimental designs is:
