BSOP-326 Week 7 Fujiyama Electronics Case Study

Fujiyama Electronics Case Study - Due Week 7
Objective
This case study looks at the behavior of a circuit board process though
the use of Control Charts. At least two Control Charts will need to be

6. constructed, and from them you will be asked to provide an assessment
of what you see. A template to facilitate the construction of the Control
Charts has been provided. You are not required to use this template. A
tutorial that outlines the steps for this case is located in Doc Sharing.
Problem Statement
Fujiyama Electronics, Inc. has had difficulties with circuit boards
purchased from an outside supplier. Unacceptable variability occurs
between two drilled holes that are supposed to be 5 cm apart on the
circuit boards. Thirty samples of four boards each were taken from
shipments from the supplier as shown in the data from the worksheet.
Data in the worksheet below can also be assessed here.
Project Deliverables
The student will submit the completed case study in a Word document to
their Dropbox by the end of class Week 7. The paper is worth 50 points.
The student will complete and/or answer the following questions.
Calculate X-Bar-Bar, R-Bar, and associated control limits using the data
in the table above. Create X-Bar•R (Average & Range) Control Charts
from the data in the table above. Discuss notable out-of-control
conditions displayed in the completed X-Bar•R (Average & Range)
Control Charts. Only consider points outside the control limits. Do not
consider runs, set of points within certain zones, etc. If the conditions
you note could be defined as assignable conditions and they are removed
from the process, what will happen to the X-Bar•R Control Chart?
(a) Remove the data related to the out-of-control points you observed
from the origainal data and recalculate a new X-Bar-Bar, R-Bar, and
associated control limits.

7. (b) Create new X-Bar•R (Average & Range) Control Charts from your
updated data.
Discuss how the two sets of Control Charts are different. What has
changed?
The format of the case study should conform to the Publication Manual
for the American Psychological Association (APA), 6th edition, for title
page and text. Citations and references are not required. A basic APA
tutorial can be found intheWebliography and a paper template can be
found in Doc Sharing. The completed case study will be submitted to
your Dropbox as an MS Word document. All graphics and charts will be
a part of the Word document and submitted as a file. Documents
authored in other applications such as WordPerfect or MS Works will
not be accepted.
This project is to be accomplished individually, and will reflect the work
of each student. All DeVry University policies are in effect including the
plagiarism policy. Late papers will not be accepted without prior
permission.
Submit your Fujiyama Case Study paper to the Dropbox located on the
silver tab at the top of this page by the end of Week 7. For instructions
on how to use theDropbox, read these Step-by-Step Instructions or
watch this Dropbox Tutorial.

Best Practices
The following are the best practices in preparing this paper. Sample
papers, using the APA format, are located in Doc Sharing. Other useful
information has also been provided there, including an APA paper
template.
Cover Page - Include who you prepared the paper for, who prepared it,
and the date. Body of Your Work - Titles to identify different areas that
you address. State the main ideas, major points in each idea, and
supporting information. Break down each main idea you will use in the
body of your paper. Show some type of division like separate sections
that are labeled, separate groups of paragraphs, or headers. You would
include the information you found during your research and
investigation. Summary and Conclusion - Summarizing is similar to
paraphrasing but presents the gist of the material in fewer words than the

11. original. An effective summary identifies the main ideas and major
support points from the body of your work. Minor details are left out.
Additional hints on preparing the best possible project. Apply a three-
step process of writing… Plan, Write, and Complete. Prepare an outline
of your research paper before you go forward. Complete a first draft and
then go back to edit, evaluate, and make any changes required. Use
visual communication if it will help clarify and support your work. Any
material that can be removed and not affect the clarity of your work is
essentially filler, and should be avoided. Filler distracts from the flow of
your work and will most likely cause you to lose points. References -
Not required for this case study.
