6. Data Collection & Interpretation
Collect & Interpret Data
Data Collection & Interpretation
Using 2-shooters and aiming for the target defined in your company description, make 30 deliveries using the Catapult. Please designate the shooter in your data file. (Enter your data in Minitab, Save the data-we will use it later in the workshop)
Plot the 30 distances (in inches) on the following run chart (Make your plot with Minitab)
Plot each observation on the histogram (following page) as they occur. (Make your plot with Minitab)
Copy & paste output into PowerPoint

8. Variability Diagnosis
Collect & Interpret Data
Variability Diagnosis
Your team should do the following for the delivery
process.
Review your process map.
Discuss the quality measure(s) you have selected.
Construct a cause-effect matrix of what causes variation in your primary quality measure(s).
Use the Excel template for the C&E Matrix

9. Individuals Charts Your team should do the following for the delivery
Is Process Stable ?
Individuals Charts
Your team should do the following for the delivery
process.
Use Minitab to create Individuals Charts (Individual and Moving Range) from the data you collected.
Do you need to range edit your data to establish appropriate control limits?
If so, why?
If so, re-calculate limits.
Is your process stable?
If not, what rules is your process violating?
Do you know why there are instabilities?
Save your control limits to your Minitab worksheet.
Copy/Past your control charts into PowerPoint

10. Special Cause Action Plan
Investigate & Fix Special Causes
Special Cause Action Plan
Use Process knowledge, C&E and FMEA to help develop a S.C.A.P for your catapult process.
Be prepared to show your FMEA and S.C.A.P.

11. Is Process Capable ?
Capability Analysis
Using Minitab and the data you already collected, calculate Cp, Cpk, Pp and Ppk.
The following information is provided for each of the scenarios:
Stunts R Us – Target=125
Spec Range=(100 to 150)
Loft em Soft - Target=140
Spec Range=(130 to 150)
Ace in the Hole – Target=110
Spec Range (105 to 115)
Collect 15 more data points from your catapult process. Have two people independently write down the distances. Provide the Excel sheet to your instructor to calculate sigma test. With sigma test, calculate percent test, gauge R&R and P/T ratio.
Be prepared to present your results.

12. Improve Process Capability
Use the Intervals to determine if there is a difference between shooters in your catapult team data.
Collect 30 data points at varying levels of all the catapult factors. How do the factors relate to distance? Use Minitab to determine the relationships between the inputs and outputs.
Be ready to present your results.

13. Control Plan Documentation
Control Plans
Develop a control plan for your catapult
process.
Fill out the Control Plan Excel sheet as much as possible.
Be ready to present your control plan.
