    SPC - normal normal distribution?

    I'm going to disagree with Miner a little bit. I don't think they require a stable process, but be aware an unstable process will have worse...

    Human error?

    You forgot having to key in the intergalactic multilevel 25D into their "portal" that has an interface so poor and clunky, it takes an afternoon.

    Human error?

    Ahhh. The old "no such thing as human error" discussion again. :-) Personally, I think human error can absolutely be a root cause. I think in...

    IATF 16949 - When to conduct SPC study ?

    FMEA 5th Edition: AIAG-VDA FMEA harmonization

    I wonder why they don't beta test it more. They need to get it down into the tiers to see if it works/actually is better.

    What kind of GRR study has to be performed?`

    OK. So that's not a Gage R&R. You're calibrating a tool. Just like verifying a 1" micrometer works by checking a handful of different gage...

    Going overboard on KPI's?
