Topic:
Why Variable Control Charts Fail and How to Make Them Work for You

Summary:
Have you seen many out-of-control signals from a variable control chart and cannot find reasons for the occurrences? You are not alone!

Even though traditional variable control charting techniques have existed for over 100 years, some critical mathematical properties of these charts can lead to organizational applications that are wasteful and harmful.

This webinar will:
Show how the mathematical properties of some variable control charting techniques can lead to firefighting common-cause variation as though it were special-cause – and how to resolve the problem.
Show how to determine if a process response is stable from a customer perspective.
For stable processes, show a report-out that includes futuristic expectations, e.g., a non-conformance rate.
Describe the need to improve a process(es) (e.g., via a Lean Six Sigma project) if a futuristic process-response statement is undesirable (e.g., non-conformance rate).
Provides and describes a free metric reporting app that offers many advantages over traditional variable control charting methodologies, including no firefighting common-cause variation as though it were special-cause.
Describe a methodology where an organization can report automatically updated predictive performance metrics throughout its business.
