The variables are: ? Panel ID: sequential number of the panel sampled from each paint line. ? Date: day panels were sampled ? Line: which paint line ? AM/PM: morning or afternoon when panels were sampled ? FilmThick: response variable (in inches, nominal ). ? Position: Side of the panel sampled, as it emerges from the paint booth ? Sample: sequential number of the panel (subgroups of size 3). Product characteristic: Paint film thickness on a rectangular panel, front and back side (as defined by orientation of the panel through the paint booth). The panel has no specific orientation in installation (sides are engineered to snapfit correctly regardless of orientation on the long axis of the panel). 26 Families of Variation In this example, there are four potential families of variation we can examine: 1. Unittounit variation (3 consecutive panels sampled each time), which matches shortterm variation 2. Morningtoafternoon variation 3. DaytoDay variation 4. LinetoLine variation Family 4: Lines Family 3: Days Family 2: AM/PM Family 1: Units Number of Measurements Levels 2 2 2 3 24 ? ? ? = 27 Create a MultiVari Chart Using Minitab Commands Single response Stat Quality Tools MultiVari Chart Order of entry matters in this window. To arrange the plot in “standard” form, assign family 1 (panel to panel variation) to factor 1, the next larger time family to factor 2, the next larger time family to factor 3.

Neither of these factors apparently will account for the differences between front and back panels. Is there any other potential relationship? (Remember that the day to day variation is smaller than the variation within 3 consecutive units.) Take a few minutes to review the main effects plot on the next page and note down some ideas. 53 Illustration (1), cont.
