AVX-Kyocera Case Study Analysis
Please complete only this portion of the assignment: Find real world data on a company’s quality control numbers and use x- and R-charts to model them per the SPC at AVX-Kyocera example in our book. Please don’t forget to name the charts with the company’s name that you used and include a reference of where you found the data so that we can include it on our reference page. We’ll need this info as soon as you can get it. Will a deadline of Wednesday night work? We’ll need it for other members to write their analysis on the data.
Prepare a 5-6 page report (excluding the cover page, the reference page, and any tables and graphs), which applies the quality control theory (SPC) introduced in Chapter 16. You need to apply this model to a real world example. Please follow the steps for Statistical Process Control at AVX-Kyocera case study analysis presented on the top of page 607 in the textbook to present your final findings. You may use hypothetical numbers to illustrate your analysis if you cannot find the actual data. However, you have to use some number to demonstrate your ability to apply SPC to a real world situation. APA format and appropriate use of section headings are required. (LO 1, 2)
Hint: On the technical contents, you need to provide either a real or a hypothetical example with numbers that involves quality control of either the mean or the range. It is preferred that you could analyze the control of both and compare the implications of the two. But, if not, you are required to at least include one in your analysis. You may follow the example and use of Excel QM as illustrated in Program 16.1 and 16.2 and/or Slides 16-22 to 16-28 in this week’s PowerPoint Presentation to complete your project. Please be aware that there are usually more than one samples collected in a real world example as the example in Problem 16-16. A verbal description by itself will not receive any credits. Please copy and paste in or attach your Excel Worksheet, which is a must to receive credits for statistical analysis. You do need to analyze your own data and cannot simply cite the statistical result published else where.
