Envelope Test

The Envelope Test gets its name from the recommended procedure that after the tally is made, the sheet is put in an envelope and put away until the experiment is run and results analyzed. THE PURPOSE: The purpose of the envelope test is to document that learning has occurred. What is listed is the belief of those involved prior to the running of the experiment. It is not intended to point fingers, place blame or anything negative. Names should not be used, only marks to indicate the pretest guess of the important factors. THE PROCEDURE: If there is only one response variable, then only use the Y1 column. If there is more than one response, use additional columns. Ask each person to guess (predict, conjecture, etc.) the factor, factors, or interactions that they think are important. This is equivalent to declaring which effects they think will fall off of the line in the Normal and/or Half Normal Probability Plot. Each person votes for each of the response variables. If they think that a factor will be important, make a tally mark beside that factor ( no names ). Try to get everyone to vote (all those involved in the Fishbone should vote). If someone does not vote, when the experiment is all over and analysis made, they will say "I knew that!".

Any two factors, say P and Q, can be plotted with the response Y on the ordinate axis. Each of these factors can either be important ( significant... fall off of the Normal Probability Plot line) or not be important. Additionally, the interaction between the two can be important or not. This shows a possible result under the eight potential situations

Helpful Hints for Interpretation

Pareto Chart: Look for groups or patterns of long and short bars. Remember “effect sparcity” - more should be unimportant than important.

Normal Probability Plot: Fat dots and wide lines. Again “effect sparcity”, most of the dots make up the line. Important (big players, significant factors) will be off the line - below and to the right or above and to the left. Caution- sometimes the only reason is it off the line is because it is the only negative value - its size(magnitude may be small).

For both probability plots, when the point is far off the line, it is obvious. If it is not far off the line, then there is not much evidence to say the factor associated with that effect has a strong influence.

Half Normal Probability Plot: (used more often for factor selection - especially 8 run designs.) Fat dots and wide lines. Again “effect sparcity”, most of the dots make up the line. Important (big players, significant factors) will be off the line - only below and to the right. It looks only at the magnitude of the effect.

For designed experiments with centerpoints and replicates, a p-value is available to provide statistical evidence of influential factors and interactions.

The List of Calculated Effects: Three factor interactions rarely exist - most of the time it is more an indication of the variation (noise) of the process. If it is one of the points off the line, most of the time you should conclude that none of the factors are important.

DOX Decision Tree A DOX Decision Tree is a tool used when there are multiple response variables for an experiment. The responses are analyzed one at time. A decision is made as to which factor(s) ,if any, are important and then a decision is made about which level of those factors is the preferred operating level.

For the three factor example at the left, there are five response variables (Y1,Y2,Y3,Y4 and Y5). Each was analyzed separately,. • For response Y3 and Y5, nothing was important (fell off of the NP or HNP line). These can be placed on either side of the NONE. • For Y1, factor B was the only important factor and the preferred operating level is the high (+) level. So Y1 is listed beside the B on the + level side. • For Y2, C was the only important factor and the low ( - ) level is preferred. • For Y4, the AC interaction is important so the label is placed on either side of AC and marked with an asterisk. Y4 is also placed beside C low and A high indicating the preferred level for each.

An additional situation that could arise is a type of interaction I call an AVOID. There is an interaction that is important, but there is only one situation that must be avoided. Had the above

three factor example had an AVOID rather than an INT, it would have said to avoid the A at the high ( + ) level and C at the low ( - ) level. Then, because Y2 want to be at the low level, A must also be set to the low ( - ) to avoid the A+C- setting. This form can be used for a test with up to eight factors. With all of the interactions that are possible (28), an alternative procedure can be used to identify the interactions. On either side of the INT (or AVOID) line, list the response with the name of the interaction beside it in parenthesis, labeling the preferred ( or AVOID) setting. For the example above, on either side of the INT line, enter Y4*(A+C-).

Fractional Factorial Experiments RESOLUTION

A full factorial designed experiment is a design where the high (+) and the low (-) level of each factor is tested in combination with each level of all the other factors. When the number of factors gets large (more than five ) , the number of tests (runs) required starts to become large (32 or more). Through proper selection of a subset of tests, good risk management can be used to balance the number of tests and the information that is lost by not testing all combinations. Judicious selection of the subset is the key to minimizing the loss of information. The information lost is measured as the RESOLUTION of the test. RESOLUTION Resolution is a roman numeral (subscripted) that identifies the level of confounding. Strict definition (BHH p.385): The length of the shortest word in the defining relation. Resolution V means 2 factor interactions (2fi) are confounded (mixed) with 3 factor interactions (3fi) , and main effects are confounded with 4fi. Because we discount 3fi and higher, we deem 2fi and main effects clear. examples: 25-1 The best, most efficient Fractional designs are Resolution V designs. Resolution IV means 2fi are confounded (mixed) with other 2fi, and main effects confounded with 3fi. Main effects are clear. examples: 24-1 , 26-2 , 27-3 , 28-4 Resolution IV designs are pretty good designs. They don't tell you directly which 2fi is important, but they do tell you which MAIN Effects are and some of the 2fi that are not. They work well as screening designs. Resolution III means 2fi are confounded with main effects. Use only for screening test or when you think only main effects may be important. examples: 23-1 , 25-2 , 26-3 , 27-4 , 29-5 , 210-6 , 211-7 Use with caution. One possible use is for problem resolution, where you only want to solve a problem and not understand it at all.

If the +ABC were assigned to the left two cubes (or the right two) , then the ABC 3fi would be mixed with the D Main Effect. You might also be able to see how a full factorial is formed by dropping out any factor.

Blocking

Definition of Blocking A block is a portion of the experimental material that is expected to be more homogeneous than the aggregate. (BHH) Removing a source of variation from the analysis (not the test program) , which is not of interest in testing. Most of the time it you block because you have to , not because you want to. Examples : Batches of raw material which you will be subjecting to test. ( It is best to run your test all from the same batch. If you cannot, you can use blocking to remove differences between batches from the analysis.) Shifts There may be a difference between 1st and 2nd shift and all of the tests cannot be run on the same shift, but we don't want the differences between shifts to pollute the experiment. Operators To remove the difference between operators from the experiment when all runs cannot be made by the same operator, use the operator as a blocking factor. Benefits of blocking

An experiment can produce good results in spite of a known ( or potential ) source of variation. SORTING is not the same as BLOCKING. Sorting is when you want to not randomize one or more of the test factors for economic or connivance reasons. The statistically correct procedure is to completely randomize, however sometimes the economic decision is made not to randomize all factors. As we have said, randomizing is like and insurance policy. You can choose not to take the insurance with increased risk. Good blocking experiments use higher order interactions to set up the blocking schemes. Sorting is using one of the MAIN EFFECTS to set up the blocking scheme. Block what you can and randomize what you cannot !

Transformations

Handling Skewed Distributions Another data characteristic that is often encountered in the analysis of process variation studies is the skewed distribution. Such situations are often present when: 1. There is a positive relationship between the sample standard deviation (S) and average ( X ). 2. The standard deviation is more than 20 to 30 percent of the average.

3. The data range over more than an order of magnitude (i.e. XX

maxmin

is greater than 10).

4. The response must always be positive but can take on small values close to zero as well as

much larger values. Variance components are most frequently used to construct sampling plans that assume the

random variation in the data can be described by a normal distribution. It is, therefore, generally recommended that when a skewed distribution is encountered, the observations be transformed to another scale (e.g., log or square root) so that the variation can be more closely approximated by a normal distribution.

The power transformation is very useful in modeling skewed distributions because it contains

many well-known transformations as special cases. The transformation is given by: Y = XP where X is the original measurement scale and Y is the transformed scale. The parameter P

defines the transformation. Some examples follow: P Transformation 1 none 0.5 square root 0 log -1 reciprocal The value of P can be estimated from the data using either the procedure of Box and Cox (1964), also see Box, Hunter, and Hunter (1978), or by studying the relationship between the average and the standard deviation (Box, Hunter, and Hunter [1978]).

When using a centerpoint design, it will not distinguish which factor is not linear. You cannot determine from a centerpointdesign which of the three response surfaces shown on the left is the appropriate one.

Further testing is required.These types of designs are most often classified as Response Surface Methodology.

Two conditions make these type of designs most effective:

a non-linear response is indicated (from subject matter knowledge or a centerpoint test)

the levels for both factors are continuous (can take on a range of values)

Factor A is non-linear, B is linear or not important

Factor B is non-linear, A is linear or not important

Both Factor A and B are non-linear

Taking Advantage of Curvature:Variation Transformation

The principle of heteroscedasticity states that a variable is heteroscedastic if variances are unequal for different settings.

We can shift the mean and reduce the variation!!!

Having a good understanding of process capability will help us to change designs to be robust to manufacturing processes.
