Quality ultimate system performance measure Variability relates to quality Variability increases quality lost Can this loss be measured?
The concept % defective has been widely used as a measure of quality level When defective product units are not shipped it should not be considered a quality problem but a cost problem How to evaluate the quality level of products shipped to customers is the problem of concern.
10/08/2007
In the past, % defective, process capability index and warranty cost have been used as measures of quality level for shipped products. One major weakness of the process capability index is that there is no apparent immediate basis for specifying the optimal value of Cp. % defective or warranty costs are understandable because they are monetary related measures

TV Example
Consider a comparison between the quality of color television sets produced by two factories belonging to the same manufacturing company. One factory (A) is located in Japan, and the other factory (B) in America. Suppose the comparison was based on color concentration, which relates to the color balance of the television sets. Although both factories used the same design, the television sets produced in the American factory had lower quality, and consumers consequently preferred products made in Japan.

TV Example (Cont.)
The figure given in the next slide shows the differences in quality characteristic (i.e., color concentration) distributions. The figure shows that the quality distribution of the Japanese-made television sets (shown by the solid curve) is approximately a normal distribution with a target value at the center; its standard deviation is about 1/6 of the tolerance, which in this case equals 10. In quality control, the index of tolerance divided by 6 standard deviations is called the process capability index, denoted by Cp. Cp=tolerance/(6*standard deviation)

The process capability of the Japanese-made television sets is 1. On the other hand, the quality distribution of the Americanmade television sets (shown in the figure by a dotted curve) has less out-of-specification products than the Japanese made products and is quite similar to the uniform distribution for those products that are within the tolerance limits. Since the standard deviation of the uniform distribution is given by 1/ 12 of the tolerance, the process capability index for these sets is given by Cp=tolerance/(6*(tolerance/ 12))=0.577

A spring is used in the operation of a camera shutter. The manufacturing process suffers from a degree of variability, in terms of the spring constant (measured in oz/in), which significantly effects the accuracy of the shutter times. The functional limits for this spring constant are m0.3oz/in (m=0.5oz/in), and the average cost for repairing or replacing a camera with a defective spring is $20. What is the loss function? Hence, what is the loss associated with producing a spring of constant 0.25oz/in versus the loss associated with one at 0.435oz/in.

L=0.08(10/8)2=$0.125 The loss per unit of production would decrease from $0.222 (current process) to $0.125, resulting in $0.097 savings per unit.

With the original tolerance, the expected loss is 2 L=k =$0.667. The expected loss after tightening the tolerance is 2 L=k = 0.08[(2/3)*(10/ 12 )]2= $0.296/unit If improvement of the process was obtained by repairing the failed units (units outside the new tolerance m5*(2/3)) at a cost of $2 per unit, then the average cost of repair is as follows: Average cost of repair per unit = percent of production that needs repair to meet the tightened tolerance * repair cost per unit = 0.333*2 = $0.667

The loss function can also be used to justify improvements of the process, as illustrated in the following example. Assume that Factory A wishes to improve the quality of its television sets by reducing deviations from the target value so that the new standard deviation will be 10/8. This improvement can be technologically achieved at an additional cost of $0.05 per unit of production. Should the factory improve its process? (Assume that no inspection is performed.)

Total loss per unit of the current process: 2 L= k = 0.08(10/6)2 = $0.222 Total loss per unit after improving the process: L=0.08(10/8)2 = $0.125 Additional cost of improvement = $0.05/unit Additional cost plus loss per unit = 0.05+0.125=$0.175 The net gain resulting from improvement in the process capability is 0.222-0.175= $0.047 per unit of production. If the production rate of this factory is 100,000 units per month, then the expected savings will be $4700 per month, or $56,400 annually.

The expected loss without inspection is 2 L=k where k = A/2 = $6.00/52 = $0.24 therefore L = 0.24(10/6)2 = $0.667/unit

below.
After the total inspection, the out-of-specification products are removed. The probability density function of those items that have passed the screening (acceptable items) is given by dividing the probability density function of the normal distribution by Q, the proportion of acceptable items.

Since the loss in the case of 100-percent inspection is higher than inspection is performed (0.667/unit), tOO-percent inspection is not
One might conclude that in this case 100-percent inspection is useless in improving quality, because the fraction defective is only 0.27 percent. It is different, of course, when the purpose of 100-percent inspection is to find serious defectives. In the case of a normal distribution with a standard deviation that is of the tolerance, the loss without inspection, L, is L = 0.24*(10/4)2 = $1.50/unit The proportion of the product falling outside the specification is 4.55 percent, and the variance of the outgoing items is (0.88)2 times that of the original value. The total loss in the case of 100-percent inspection when equals 10/4 becomes L = 0.03+6.00*0.0455+0.24*(0.88)2*(10/4)2 = $1.465/unit
10/08/2007
36
This result is an improvement of $0.035 per item. If there are 200,000 items produced each month, the amount of improvement is $7,000 each month. Assuming that the standard deviation is the tolerance and the production output still follows a normal distribution, the portion of the product falling outside the specification is 31.7 percent. Even if all the products are inspected and the defective ones screened out, the standard deviation of the outgoing quality is reduced to only 53.9 percent of the original value (=tolerance/2). Therefore, the loss caused by variation is L=0.24[0.539*(10/2)]2= $1.743

Determinations of Tolerances
Loss function can also be used to determine tolerances of the quality characteristics. The determination of tolerance is illustrated in the following example.
Example: Consider the production of high-voltage transformers. During the life of this kind of transformer, output voltage might change because of the deterioration of transistors in the power circuit. Assume that a transformer is not suitable for its intended function when its output voltage exceeds the tolerance limits of 11525V. Exceeding the limits results in a loss (denoted by A) of $300. Before shipping to a customer, the manufacturer can adjust the voltage in the plant by changing a resistor at a cost of $1. What should the manufacturers specifications be?
Solution: The loss caused by product variation from the target value, L(y), is L(y)=k(y-m)2 where m is the target value (115V in this case) and k is the proportionality constant.
10/08/2007
43
L( y ) = 0.48( y 115) 2
It is assumed that the allowable varying range of the output voltage for the customer is 11525V. The allowable varying range in the plant will be different, because it is easy to adjust the voltage to the target value by changing a resistor in the circuit. The loss or cost of adjust to the manufacturer is $1. Substitution of this value in Equation above yields
300 = k ( y cus. m) 2 for y cus. m 0 300=A0 = k ( 0 ) 2 1 = k ( y manu . m)2 for ymanu . m 1=A = k ()2

While the device that uses the vacuum blower sits idle, the cost to the customer is $340/hour. On average it takes 30 minutes to replace the blower. Seal integrity is measured by testing the seal adhesion strength. The seal level at which the vacuum loss becomes objectionable is 20 psi.

CASE STUDY T5
Consider the temperature drift in a refrigerator. The standard target for most refrigerators is 40F. Consider the consequences of being above and below this targeted temperature. When the temperature gets above 50F, several things can happen that annoy the consumer. These include tepid food and drink that is not pleasant to the taste, and spoilage due to accelerated bacterial growth. Each of these can cause economic loss, losses due to discarding and replacement of food, and losses due to illness from ingestion of tainted food. When the temperature gets below 30F, there may be some damage due to ice crystals, but there should be little food lost. When too hot the losses incurred include $50 for lost food replacement and $100 for a service call. When too low, the losses incurred include $10 for lost food replacement and $100 for a service call. What are the loss functions in this case?

2 Z = 10 log10 2
The range of values of 2/2 is (0,), while the range of values of Z is (-, ). Thus, in the log domain, we have better additivity of the effects of two or more control factors. Since log is a monotone function maximizing 2/2 is equivalent to maximizing Z.

On taking logarithm these become additive For example Log10 ( B Xa . exp(-Ea/kT) ) = Log10(B) + a. Log10 (X) + (-Ea/kT) . Log10 (e) These are additive for variables (Log10 X) and (1/T)

These two sets of observations may have come from the two distributions shown in the figure above. Observe that the set B has an average value which equals to target value, but has a wide spread around it. For the set A, the spread is smaller, but the average itself is quite far from the target. Which of the two is better?
