Six SigmaDeveloped by the Motorola CompanyMethod of improving quality by reducing
variability in products and processesData driven decision makingDefined by the statistical levels expected for
compliance standard deviation of less than six sigma from the mean
to the most extreme specification limits
Requires high precision and repeatabilityOnly 3.4 defects per million allowedResults in fewer defects, lower costs, greater
customer voice

ISO Standards
International Organization for Standardization
Main purpose is to create internationally agreed upon standardsLess variabilityGreater promotion of worldwide competition
Voluntary, but highly regarded standards
ANSI StandardsAmerican National Standards InstituteNational standards which help meet the
internationally declared ISO standardsValuable for market acceptanceUnlike ISO, ANSI does not create the
standards, only supervises the development and use of standards
ISO and ANSI in ManufacturingOften set the bar for government regulations

What is Statistical Process Control?Constant in-process sampling of a production
variables Data points are compared to average
(Control chart) Problems isolated Modifications made to flagged area(s) Repeat Never ends while product still being
produced
Statistical Process Control – Graphical Representation
Benefits of SPCProvides a method of surveillance and feedback for keeping
processes in controlSignals when a problem with the process has begun and is
about to affect quality adverselyDetects assignable causes of variation or root causesReduces the need for inspection due to predictabilityMonitors process quality at the sourceProvides a mechanism to make process changes and track
the effects of those changesOnce causes of variation have been eliminated, SPC
provides ongoing process capability analysis with comparison to the desired outcome
Requirements for SPCProcesses being considered for SPC must:
Be well defined
Have attributes with observable measures
Be repetitive
Be sufficiently critical to justify monitoring
SPC Implementation Pitfalls Measurement variability
The process of measuring must be uniform throughout the process.
Incorrect goals for SPCControl charts should be constructed so as to detect
process trends rather than individual nonconforming events
Poor follow-upSPC only signals the possible existence of a problem.Without detailed investigations, as in an audit, and
instituting corrective action, SPC will not provide any benefit.
Example of SPC in action Statistical Process Control used by Raytheon
Wanted to monitor solder defects in surface mount assembly (Insufficient or excess solder)
Raytheon used SPC to constantly monitor the soldering application Solder screen condition Solder screen tension Squeegee pressure Squeegee speed Solder past viscosity Solder paste particle size
SPC gave Raytheon: Improved process capability Higher quality Increased yield in surface mount assembly
SPC ConclusionSPC significantly improves profit and adds
value by:Improving product and service qualityImproving productivityStreamlining processesReducing wasteReducing environmental emissionsImproving capacity and predictive outcomes

Quality Inspection MethodsThere are two main ways to inspect the
quality of a part for dimensional accuracy and quality specifications.
Tactile: Using an instrument that comes in contact with the part to measure and quantify aspects of a part or component.
Visual: Using an instrument that does not come in contact with the part, but uses visual methods of comparison to quantify aspects of a part or component.
Quality Inspection EquipmentThere are two main categories of quality
inspection equipment.Gauges: a piece of equipment designed
specifically to measure a single part or component.
Metrology Equipment: A piece of equipment versatile enough to measure a wide range of parts, typically requiring a custom fixture to hold each part.
Single Purpose Inspection GaugesThere are two kinds of gauges: Go/No Go Gauges,
and Variable Measurement Gauges.Go/No Go example: Testing the size of a .125” pin
with a bilateral .005” tolerance. If the Pin fits through a hole of size .130” without jamming and does not fit through a hole of size .1245”, the pin will pass a Go/No Go quality inspection. If the pin does not fit through the .130” hole or slips through a .1245” hole, the pin will not pass a Go/No Go quality Inspection.
A Variable Measurement Gauge would be a measurement instrument designed to measure one type of part but be able to output a wide range of measurements. These kinds of gauges can also be used to monitor the manufacturing process and catalog trends of certain aspects or dimensions of a particular part.
Indicators – The Most Basic Tactile Inspection Instrument
•Dial indicators and digital drop indicators are the most basic form of tactile measurement instrumentation second to a ruler, calipers, and micrometers used for dimensional inspection and would fall into the metrology equipment category. Indicators can be used on their own mounted to a versatile stand, or incorporated permanently into a single purpose gauge.•Dial indicators can measure parts with an accuracy between .001” and .005” depending on the unit.•Digital drop indicators can measure down to 0.00005” accurately (arguable).
Variable Measurement Gauge
Above is an example of a fixture for a variable measurement gauge. The part would be clamped by the De-Sta-Co clamp and put under a drop indicator. The indicator would be zeroed on the surface that the pins come out of (Datum Surface) and then the probe would be lifted and placed on the part surface. The measurement would be recorded.
Go / No Go Gauge
Above is an example of a Go / No Go Gauge. This particular gauge was used to ensure the slot width of a not yet released part was within specification. The Go shim of this gauge has a thickness of .012”, the No Go shim of this gauge has a thickness of .01335”. Both shims were made with a Wire EDM. The shims were verified with a drop indicator, a toolmakers microscope, and an optical comparitor. The latter two of which will be detailed later in this presentation.
Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM) The CMM is typically a CNC
machine that uses a tactile probe to trace the profile of a part and measure particular internal and external features.
The CMM works in 3 dimensions and the X and Y axes typically ride on a compressed air buffer.
CMM’s can also use visual, laser, white light, or air cushion touchless probes.
Some of the best CMM’s have a resolution of 0.000004”.
The CMM is one of the most precise pieces of tactile quality inspection equipment.
Visual Inspection EquipmentThere are three types of visual inspection
equipment: Optical Comparators (also known as a
shadow graph)Toolmakers MicroscopeCNC Optical measurement instruments
Optical Comparator An Optical Comparator is a
measurement device with an XY table, a stage, a light source, various lenses, and a projection screen.
The light is shone on a part placed in a fixture on a the stage, the shadow is cast into the lens, the shadow is then reflected through mirrors and cast onto the screen.
The screen has graduations on it and an origin.
Typically a quality inspector would zero the XY read-out with the origin placed on a feature, the table jogged until the origin lies on the desired feature to be measured, and the measurement recorded from the read-out.
Tool Makers MicroscopeA tool makers mic is a more
direct version of a comparator.There is a combination of top
and back stage lighting and a set of crosshairs in the microscope eye piece.
Typically there is a digital read-out integrated with the stage.
The crosshairs are zeroed on the edge of a part, the stage jogged until the crosshairs are at the other edge of the desired feature, and a measurement taken from the read-out.
CNC Visual Measurement SystemsHighly advanced
optical measurement systems using both lasers and digital imaging in conjunction with software able to recognize and measure features from images taken by the machine.
Multiple features can be measured in one run.
Measurement accuracy down to a few microns.

Failure Testing Failure testing: a way of ensuring a product
will not fail under different circumstances and situations of stress, weather, temperature, and etc.Testing allows an engineer to match up their
predictions to real life applications.The results will help the designer rethink the
product and make necessary changes to meet the customers needs.
Since quality control ensures a product meets customer needs, testing can be considered a way to influence product quality.
Failure Testing MethodsTensile testing
Determines how a material reacts to the applied tensile forces.
You can find ultimate tensile strength, modulus of rigidity and stain.
Inexpensive after initial investment
Simple to implement.

Failure Testing Methods Cont. Wear testing
Determines the effects of continuous contact between two surfaces.
You can find the friction factor and amount of wear to a surface.
Simple to implement Inexpensive after initial
investment is made.

Failure Testing Methods Cont. Chemical Resistance
Test Determines the ability of a
material to resist changes in its physical properties when exposed to certain chemicals.
You can find the rate at which a chemical reacts a product.
Testing with certain chemical can be dangerous.

Failure Testing Methods Cont. Fatigue Testing
Determines the number of times an object is able to withstand before failing.
You can determine how long it takes the product to fail.
Testing machines are used to apply cyclic loads so you can easily model test to mimic a real life cycle pattern.

Failure Testing Methods Cont. Testing at the
extremes.Test done beyond the
normal operation conditions of a product.
You can determine the time it takes to fail.
You can also detect unsafe failure at these certain conditions.
