Hi Chris, I found this site to be very useful and explanitory while calculating the sigma level of or company. http://www.isixsigma.com/sixsigma/six_sigma.asp It has explanations on anything and everything process control related. Regards,

Sorry to nitpick, but counting and responding to the number of defects isn't process control. It's done all the time, but it doesn't really fit the definition and that's what I think DB is trying to investigate.

HHmmmm!! looks like i'm getting it way wrong by wanting to chart the quality of product coming from my wave solder machine. could some of you let me know whats the best way to monitor quality on this process.

do u mean program as in software? Minitab can do all the basic statistical analysis for your data and give you Cp, Cpk Values. The Cp and Cpk values are derived from estimates from the data (hence necessary to have Confidence Intervals). Regards, Am

in addition to Amols comments I also like Minitab. For FMEA Ford motor Company has a great FMEA program

Is this a new customer or an old one? That's quite a lot to ask if you're not accustomed to performing those analyses.

The tendancy always has been "when in doubt, touch it up"... this is not the way to "verify the process" and is not the best strategy for multiple reasons (unessecary rework, additional labor costs, as well as making the solder joint more brittle, [i

how do you do it stephen? i'm interested to know what methods can be used to monitor a process such as this. is it best to set-up the wave machine parameters as russ and davef were talking about, what then, how do we know what effect a change in

Good answer slthomas! This has got to be the biggest misconception out there. To perform SPC on a wave process you must first perfrom DOE to determine the critical parameters and or control limits. For example you will need temp reading devices tha
