Data Driven Decisions
Why should we test or inspect Y, if we know this relationship?
• Y
• Dependent
• Output
• Effect
• Symptom
• Monitor
• Response
• X1 . . . XN
• Independent
• Input-Process
• Cause
• Problem
• Control
• Factor
To get results, should we focus our behavior on the Y or X ?

Sigma is a statistical unit of measure which reflects process
capability. The sigma scale of measure is perfectly correlated to such
characteristics as defects-per-unit, parts-per million defective, and
the probability of a failure/error.

Measure
 Establish measurement capability
• Validate the database (transactional)
• Gage R&R (Repeatability & Reproducibility)
• Calibration is not enough
• Many (or most) measurement systems are not capable
• How good is the data you are using to make decisions?
 Fix the measurement system
• Enables calculation of process capability
• Enables calculation of alpha & beta risks
• This step is often skipped

Editor's Notes

  • #25 Companies with satisfied customers exhibit strong financial performance (positive correlation). In other words, knowing, and acting upon, customer requirements is profitable. The University of Michigan Business School’s National Quality Research Center has tracked the ACSI since 1994. ASCI does quarterly interviews with customers of over 200 companies in 35 industries. Customer Satisfaction scores are correlated positively with financial performance measures such as market value added, stock price, and ROI. Among the 73 companies surveyed, those that score in the top half of the ACSI score range generated about $42 bil in MVA, while companies in the bottom half totaled only $23 bil. Furthermore, in the companies surveyed with a mean capitalization of $27 bil, one point on the ASCI scale is worth on average $0.898 mil. in MVA and therefore a one point increase in customer satisfaction score translates into a 3% (0.9/27) increase in MVA.
