6.
Calculate the CONTROL LIMITS for the Red Bead System:
For our purposes, we will use the following to determine the upper and lower control limits:
UPPER Control Limit
UCL = µ + 3σ
7.
LOWER Control Limit
LCL = µ – 3σ
Plot the MEAN ( µ ) and both CONTROL LIMITS on the graph (problem #3), and extend these three figures to include all 30
Red Bead trials.
KEY POINT
These Control Limits now define a “Stable System”;
i.e., the behavior WITHIN these limits is CONTROLLED but RANDOM.
8.
Plot the last six Red Bead trials on the graph. These six trials were from the “best” workers. Were these workers “really” the
“best”, or was their behavior “within control limits”, and therefore “random”.
3
Suppose “Willing Worker” (Ron) on Day #5
had 10 Red Beads, but the “1” was
accidentally erased.
Redraw the entire graph with this new data.
Is this point WITHIN or OUTSIDE control limits?
Rrrrrrrrrrr
Is this variation due to COMMON cause, or
SPECIAL cause?
Rrrrrrrrrrr
Should we take ACTION (YES or NO)?
Rrrrrrrrrrr
Suppose the “best” workers noticed in one
section of the container, there were hardly
any red beads, and they focused the “paddle”
in that area on Day #5.
Redraw the entire graph with simulated data
for this scenario.
Are these points WITHIN or OUTSIDE control
limits?
Rrrrrrrrrrr
Is this variation due to COMMON cause, or
SPECIAL cause?
Rrrrrrrrrrr
Should we take ACTION (YES or NO)?
Rrrrrrrrrrr
On Day #5, “Willing Worker” Richard’s second
shift resulted in 20 Red Beads (instead of 11).
Redraw the entire graph, with this new data.
Is this point WITHIN or OUTSIDE control limits?
Rrrrrrrrrrr
Is this variation due to COMMON cause, or
SPECIAL cause?
Rrrrrrrrrrr
Should we take ACTION (YES or NO)?
