How are specification limits different from control limits?

Control limits = calculated from process data and represent how your process is actually performed

Specification limits = defined by your customer and represent desired performance of your process

Examples

  • PSI

  • Inches

  • Pounds force


Attributes:

What is the difference between Cpk and Ppk?

Cpk is normal distribution whereas Ppk is non-normal distribution

400

Why is the shape of a normal distribution graph also called the gaussian distribution?

Because it was named after its inventor Carl Friedrich Gauss

400

Ture or False: Repeatability is the variation due to the measurement system. It is the variation that is observed when different operators measure the same part many times, using the same gage, under the same conditions.

False: Reproducibility

Reproducibility can be split into two sources:

  • Operator: The variability in measurements due to different operators.
  • Operator-by-Part: The variability in measurements due to different operator/part combinations after considering part and operator separately.

If P-Value is higher than 0.05, would you consider it a normal distribution?

Yes

500

For performing capability studies at non-normal data, how would you determine which distribution to use?

A. Select transformation with P-value less than 0.05

B. Select transformation with the fewest P-value

C. Select transformation with P-value greater than 0.05

D. Select the transformation with the greatest P-value

C & D- Select the transformation with P-value greater than 0.05 or with the greatest P-value.

True or False: 68.27% of the population fall between   μ ± 2σ

It should be μ ± 1σ  

500

What Percent TOL of the Gage is considered acceptable?

a. Less than 15%

b. Less than 20%

c. Less than 25%

d. Less than 30%

b. Less than 20%

What is process tolerance?

The amount of variation that a part can have and still meet the customer's requirements. It is the difference between the upper specification and the lower specification.

For example, for an upper specification of 0.36 mm and a lower specification of 0.34 mm, the process tolerance is 0.02 mm.
