SIX SIGMA

Factorial Design (DOE)

An engineer is interested in the effects of cutting speed (A), tool geometry (B), and cutting angle (C) on the life (in hours) of a machine tool. Two levels of each factor are chosen, and three replicates of a 23 factorial design are run. The results show the averages of the three replicates

A	B	C	Mean
-	-	-	26.00
+	-	-	34.67
-	+	-	39.67
+	+	-	49.33
-	-	+	42.33
+	-	+	37.67
-	+	+	54.67
+	+	+	42.33

Estimate the factor effects. (Please show steps)

An engineer is studying the effect of cutting speed on the rate of metal removal in a machining operation. However, the rate of metal removal is also related to the hardness of the test specimen. Five observations are taken at each cutting speed. The amount of metal removed y and the hardness of the specimen x are shown below in the format of a data file. Column 1 has treatment (1 for cutting speed 1000, 2 for cutting speed 1200,...

A 22 factorial design was used to investigate the effects of stearate concentration and mixing time on the hardness of a tablet formulation. The results are presented in the attached table (Hardness vs time and stearate.mtw). Calculate the regression equation and present the ANOVA table. Test the main effects and interaction effect (ab) for significance. Graph the data and comment on whether or not the plots indicate the possible interaction between the effects or the mixing time and stearate concentration...

6.13 An industrial engineer employed by a beverage bottler is interested in the effects of two different types of 32‐ounce bottles on the time to deliver 12‐bottle cases of the product. The two bottle types are glass and plastic. Two workers are used to perform a task consisting of moving 40 cases of the product 50 feet50 feet on a standard type of hand truck and stacking the cases in a display. Four replicates of a 2222 factorial design are...

An industrial engineer employed by a beverage bottler is interested in the effects of two different types of 32-ounces bottles vs the potential fatigue differences resulted from delivering 12-bottle cases of the product. The two bottle types are glass and plastic. Two workers are used to perform the task that consists of moving 40 cases of the product 50 feet on a standard type of hand truck and then, stacking the cases in a display. As a measured of the...
