# Strategy of Experimentation Define the Problem Establish the Objective of Experiment Select the Output (Response) Identify “constraints” which will limit experiment Select the Input Factors (KPIVs) Choose the Factor Levels Select the Experiment Design Collect the Data Analyze the Data Draw Conclusions Run Confirmation Test before Implementing Achieve the Experiment Objective Select the Input Factors and Output (Response) Select the Experiment Design What is an FMEA? - Disciplined procedure to anticipate failures and prevent their occurrence/reoccurrence  - Process FMEA: used to analyze transactional, manufacturing and assembly processes before, during and after processing begins - Design FMEA: used to analyze products before they are released to production How can an FMEA help me? - Identifies potential process failures  - Estimates relative risk of causes - Evaluates control plan  - Prioritizes improvement actions  When is it commonly applied? - When new systems, products, and processes are being designed - When existing designs or processes are being changed  Identifies potential product/process failure modes early Increases the likelihood that all product/process potential failure modes and their effects will be considered Identifies actions which could eliminate or reduce the chance of potential failures from occurring Helps to identify potential critical characteristics and significant characteristics Establishes a priority for product/process improvement actions Documents the rationale behind product/process design changes Aids in the development of process control plans 20 20 20 18 In the Main Effect Plot, the more inclined the line, the more effect the factor has on the response variable. The more horizontal, the least effect. 20 20 20 18 In the Interaction Plot, you look for parallelism between the lines to define the the importance of the interaction. The more parallel, the least interaction be
