Accendo Reliability Webinar Series

Introduction to Reliability Engineering Management This discussion draws on over 150 reliability program assessments. Let’s discuss the findings, key lessons, and best practices. Let’s start the discussion on how to think about improving your reliability programs both at the specific project and across the organization. Thinking about the value of each task and how it will benefit achieving personal, business, and customer objectives are key. This Accendo Reliability webinar originally broadcast live on 8 July 2014.

SPC Sample Size Impact on SPC Presented by Steven Wachs The purpose of control charting is to detect significant process changes when they occur. One important consideration in the selection and design of control charts (that is often overlooked) is the determination of an appropriate sample size. A sample size should be selected that will align the statistical properties of the control chart with what are practically significant changes. That is, effective control charts will detect process changes that have a practical significance while minimizing signals resulting from smaller changes of minimal concern. In this webinar, we explore the impact that chart selection and sample size have on chart sensitivity (the ability to detect changes). The factors to be considered when determining the sample size and examples of an appropriate sample size for a typical application are presented. The relationship between sample size and sampling frequency is also discussed. Finally, the use of OC curves to assess the risks of undetected process changes for a given sample size is presented. Webinar Topics: Purpose of Control Charts Variation: Individuals vs. Averages Detecting Process Shifts Type II Errors Factors affecting sample size Calculating sample size for traditional (X-bar) charts Sample size and sampling frequency tradeoffs OC Curves for assessing risk This Accendo Reliability webinar was originally broadcast live on 21 May 2014.
