Presented by Professor Michael J. Cleary, Ph.D.

If you’ve enjoyed meeting Jack D. Ripper, Awana Gohome, and the other sometimes-bumbling quality professionals who inhabit Professor Cleary’s monthly quizzes that have appeared in Quality eLine, here’s your chance to review some of the best of these columns, to expand your understanding of key statistical process control concepts, and to clarify the next steps in your quality improvement efforts.

Quality Quiz Classics introduces SPC concepts by showing them in action—perhaps with a hapless subject who uses the wrong control chart for the data that he or she wants to analyze—and in conjunction with other tools for process improvement. It organizes published quizzes around central concepts including:

Descriptive Statistics

  • Central location
  • Variation
  • Shape (skewness)
  • Shape (kurtosis)
  • Coefficient of variation
  • Chi-squared

Process Capability Analysis

  • How to determine capability
  • Determining the % out of spec
  • Interpretation of Cp
  • Interpretation of Cpk
  • Capability and normalcy

Control Charts

  • Calculating mean
  • Calculating control limits
  • Being in control
  • Runs above X-bar-bar
  • Runs below X-bar-bar
  • Runs below R-bar
  • X-bars too close to process average
  • X-bars too close to control limits
  • Runs up           
  • P-charts           

Hypothesis Testing

  • Difference between means
  • One-way analysis of variance
  • Two-way analysis of variance
