Reliability
• Is the likelihood that a product will not fail within a specific time
period.
• This is a key element for users who need the product to work
without fail.

Durability
• Measures the length of a product’s life.
• When the product can be repaired, estimating durability is more
complicated.
• The item will be used until it is no longer economical to operate it.

breaks down.
• Consumer's ease of obtaining repair service
• Example: access to service centers
• Ease of self-service

Aesthetics or Style
• The aesthetic properties of a product contribute to the identity of a
company or a brand.
• Aesthetics is the subjective dimension indicating the kind of
response a user has to a product.
• It represents the individual’s personal preference.

Perceived Quality
• Perceived Quality is the quality attributed to a good or service based
on indirect measures.
• Consumers do not always have complete information about a product's
or service's attributes; indirect measures may be their only basis for
comparing brands.

32
Applying statistical methods to quality
engineering.
What Is Quality Engineering?
Quality engineering is the combination of engineering, statistics, and

Acceptance Sampling (AS)
• Uses statistical sampling to determine whether to accept or reject a production lot of material
• Off-line technique (after production)
• Pros
• Simplest quality control technique
• Economy of time and money in comparison to 100% inspection
• Cons
• Not corrective & preventive
• likelihood or risk
45
Variations Of Acceptance Sampling
• outgoing inspection
• Receiving/ incoming inspection
• Disposition of lots

Designed experiments (DOX)
• Discovering the key factors that influence process performance for
Process optimization
• Off-line technique (before production)
• Pros
• The most desirable quality control technique
• corrective & preventive
• Cons
• Cost & time needed

Statistical process control (SPC)
• Using Control charts, plus other problem-solving tools. Useful in
monitoring processes, reducing variability through elimination of
assignable causes
• On-line technique (during production)
52
Control chart & Specifications
• a statistical process control tool used to determine if a
manufacturing or business process is in a state of control.
• Specifications
• Lower specification limit
• Upper specification limit
• Target or nominal values

Six Sigma
• Focus of Six Sigma is on Process Improvement with an Emphasis on
Achieving Significant Business Impact
• Involves a five-step process (DMAIC)
• Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control

Six Sigma
• LSL & USL are fixed
• It is the process which changes

Six Sigma
69
Six Sigma
• A visit to a fast-food store: Hamburger (bun, meat, special
sauce, cheese, pickle, onion, lettuce, tomato), fries, and
drink. This product has 10 components.
• Q1) Probability of customer satisfaction for a single meal in
Six Sigma & Three Sigma?
• Q2) Family of four, once a month; Probability of customer
satisfaction for all meals in a month & in a year ?

The Process Improvement Triad:DFSS, Lean, and DMAIC
72
Design for Six Sigma (DFSS)
• Only so much improvement can be wrung out of an
existing system
• New process design
• New product design (engineering)
• DFSS Matches Customer Needs with Capability &
enhances product design methods
73
Lean
• A set of methods and tools used to eliminate waste in
a process
• identify anything not absolutely required to deliver a
quality product on time
• reduce inventory, lead time, and cost
• increase productivity, quality, on time delivery,
capacity, and sales
74
DMAIC
• Solves problems by using Six Sigma tools
• Define problems in processes
• Measure performance
• Analyze causes of problems
• Improve processes/ remove variations and nonvalue-
added activities
• Control processes so problems do not recur
75
[from: http:// xlncacademy.com/blog/top-5-unique-benefits-of-six-sigma , last seen on January 2019]
Six Sigma
• Pros
• A limit of 3.4 defects per one million products or services
• addresses the entire process, rather than just the final outcome
• It is proactive rather than reactive
• determines how improvements can be made even before defects are found
• Useful for product with several components
76
Six Sigma
• Cons
• rigidity that can create delays & stifle creativity
• an inexpensive measure that carries a risk of a higher defect rate is
rejected in favor of a more expensive measure that helps to achieve Six
Sigma, but adversely affects profitability
