LG Electronics / LGENT 6σTASK TEAM is dedicated to implementing Tolerance Analysis using Minitab for non-linear tolerance analysis. In a specific example, the team is tasked with analyzing the volume of water in a container, which is determined by the product of A (Valve's rate of fill) and B (Time of fill). A has an average of 18.4 cc/sec with a standard deviation of 0.30 cc/sec, while B has an average of 5.80 seconds with a standard deviation of 0.38. The upper specification limit (USL) is 150 and the lower specification limit (LSL) is 70.
To conduct the analysis, the team utilizes Monte Carlo Simulation in Minitab by generating random data with a specified number of data points, mean, and standard deviation within the range of 17-25. The team follows the steps in Minitab, accessing the calc / random data menu to input the necessary parameters for the simulation.
The concept of tolerance analysis is outlined by LGENT SIX SIGMA TASK TEAM, emphasizing the importance of defining tolerances proactively to allow for variations from the target value within an acceptable range. This approach is crucial in ensuring robust design that meets customer needs while considering process capabilities and statistical analysis for optimization towards perfection.
In addition to non-linear tolerance analysis, the team also covers linear tolerance analysis, highlighting the significance of understanding and managing tolerances in both types of analyses. By implementing robust strategies for tolerance analysis, LGENT aims to improve product quality, enhance customer satisfaction, and streamline manufacturing processes. The team's dedication to continuous improvement and effective tolerance management sets a benchmark for excellence in the industry.
