Measure Phase Define Measure Analyze Improve Control 3. Measurement System Analysis 2. Define Perfor- mance Standards Deliverable: Determine and Confirm Speci-fication Limits For Your Y. 1. Select CTQ Characteristics Deliverable: Identify Measurable CTQ That Will Be Improved Tools: QFD Process Mapping C&E FMEA Discrete vs. Continuous Data Deliverable: Measurement System Adequate to Measure Y. Tools: Continuous Gage R&R Test/Retest Attribute Gage R&R Step 2: Define Performance Standards By the end of Step 2, the BB/GB will have: a. Defined a defect. What are the customer’s acceptance criteria for the part/product or process? b. Established how to measure the quality of the part/product or process. Where are the ing from? How do you measure the process? What are the units of measure? Is it a discrete or continuous measure? c. Determined the Performance Standard for their project. d. Gained consensus with their team on the Performance Standard for their project. Define Performance Standards Objectives A Performance Standard is the requirement(s) or specification(s) imposed by the customer on a specific CTQ. It answers the questions: What does the customer want? What is a good product/process? What is a defect? Some examples: Blueprints Sizes and dimensions are provided on parts Contracts Type of turbine, fuel efficiency, time of delivery, warranty information Performance Standards Establishing a Performance Standard The goal of a performance standard is to translate the customer need into a measurable characteristic. Operational Definition Target Specification Limits Defect Definition A characteristic should be measurable. Translate the Voice of the Customer to the Voice of the Process. Operational Definitions Definition: An operational definition is a precise description that tells how to get a value for the characteristic (CTQ) you are trying to measure. It includes “What Something Is” and “How to Measure It” Purpose: To Remo
