Systems of measurement

Decisions of the model are based on statistical facts not instincts or past results. Six Sigma is highly measurement and data focused. It is difficult to measure the performance level of a service. In manufacturing industry “no defects per million” real data can be used. However, in service industry there is a great variability in data due to customer preferences, lack of tangible measurement tool of human behavior. In most cases four indicators are being used to measure the performance of a…

under a torsional load. The device will also need to collect data and calculate the angle of twist of the sample. A significant part of the device design is the data acquisition and angle of twist measurement. The purpose of this tech memo is to research possible options for data acquisition and measurement of the angle of twist that can be used in the design of…

picking the closest centimeter measurement visibly possible for the diameter and circumference by wrapping the paper tape measure around the circles. The worst method would be using a ruler or meter stick. The only improvements that could be made is the use of smaller units to minimize uncertainty. Report Question: Wood The uncertainty of the volume of the wood was 2.40*10-4%. The uncertainty of the mass of the wood was 3.11*10-6%. The uncertainty of the density measurement is .77 ±…

This paper describes an experiment to determine the height of the Flagpole in front of Waterloo Collegiate Institute, a high school in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. During the experiment, we approach the task with similar triangles and their properties. Being that, we created two similar right triangles with the flagpole as one of the legs of one triangle and my partner as one of the legs of the other. Due to the fact that similar triangles are proportional in terms of side lengths, we measure the…

stylus system that is categorised in this group is the stylus system of micro CMM, which has a similar design with the conventional CMM probing system. As described in ISO 10360-1, the stylus system has a spherical stylus tip, a rod stylus shaft and a sensing element. These styluses also operate in contact mode. (1.1 until 1.5 have been discussed in progress report 2) 1.1 UMAP Mitutoyo Stylus (1993-1999) Figure 2.1: construction of UMAP stylus system Mitutoyo UMAP stylus system was…

Case Analysis. Analysis of existing performance measures (classification, strategic relevance, balance). Lead Measures: Employee Turnover; Employee Absenteeism; Production Cycle Time; Raw Materials Store Time; Delivery Cycle Time; Finished Goods Store Time; Inspection Time; Raw Material Inty Levels; Rework Time; Finished Goods Inty Levels; Scheduled/Unscheduled Downtime; Number of defective products; Number of scrap; Raw Materials Processed; Average unit cost; Lag Measures: Price of wood…

This week’s assignment asked the class to discuss the benefits of measuring health behaviors. Without the current health behavior measurement, they are several statics that warn against unhealthy behavior that wouldn’t have the data needed to provide critical data, needed to educate the population on harmful consequences. Let take smoking for instance, without the surveillance of smoker, organization like the CDC wouldn’t have the ability provide statics that show the health burden caused by…

is to plan. To start, you set a standard or framework. This will help your company set its benchmarks from which to measure to see if in fact, you are achieving your goals or not. Professionals would call it as having a “business-focused social measurement strategy” (Etlinger, S., & Li, C., 2011). In using this concept, your…

First, it is important to outline the foundations of stereotype threat and its implications. Stereotype threat has become one of the most widely…

ASTM STANDARDS Short introduction – ASTM standards are consensus standards for systems, services, materials and products. ‘ASTM International’ is one of the largest voluntary standard developing organization in the world. It is a non-profit organization that provides a forum for the development and publication of international voluntary standards. There are approximately 12,575 ASTM standards that operate globally. TESTING ASTM STANDARDS- Scope- There test methods help in the determining of…
