[Presentation overview]
In situations of IP sensitivity, the ability to provide guidance to supplier for continued process improvement is challenged. This presentation introduces a methodology to address this. It uses retrospective analysis to separate the special cause from common cause, leading to establishment of achievable process target with improved controls and performance capability. JMP tools like ANOVA, each pair t-test, 3 way control chart, and goal plot are fundamental instruments to this methodology.
In an intellectual property-sensitive environment, your ability to provide suppliers with guidance for continuous process improvement is challenged. In this presentation, we present a methodology to address this issue. This methodology uses post-mortem analysis to separate special and common causes and establish achievable process goals with improved control and performance capabilities. JMP's ANOVA, pairwise t-tests, 3-way control charts, and goal plots are the basic tools of this methodology.
