Abstract:: Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a product development process that assures the needs and desires of the customer are heard and heeded during the design, development and production of a product. Though it has been used successfully in other industries, only a few companies in the U. S. Engineering and...

Creator:: Coghlan, Gerald Thomas
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to investigate an application of statistical concepts to quality control of highway construction. The application was presented qualitatively and demonstrated quantitatively by an investigation of asphalt content in asphalt concrete. For the example, an Oregon State Highway Project was sampled and tested. The average...

Abstract:: Flowcharts graphically represent the steps in creating a product or service. The process of creating a chart is often beneficial because personnel may be unaware of all the “nitty-gritty” details involved in producing the product. Also, people often are surprised to learn of the differences between the ideal process flow...

Abstract:: Part 1 in this series introduced the reader to Statistical Process Control, and Part 2 provided an overview of how and why SPC works. Part 3 begins the step-by-step process of building the practical skills necessary for hands-on implementation of SPC. This report discusses Pareto analysis, a tool we can...

Abstract:: The goal for Part 2 is to build management understanding and confidence in SPC as a profit-making tool. It is unreasonable to expect managers to commit to and support SPC training and implementation if they do not understand what SPC is and how and why it works. This publication discusses...

Abstract:: The objective of this series is to help improve the competitiveness of Oregon’s wood products manufacturers. This can be achieved by fostering a companywide focus on and dedication to continuous quality improvement. W. Edwards Deming (1982) described the “chain reaction of quality.” 1. Quality is improved. 2. Costs decrease due...

Creator:: Fitzpatrick, Mark W.
Abstract:: An analytical method for predicting life-cycle maintainability labor costs is developed. The purpose of the analytical method is to allow the evaluation of products, based on life-cycle labor cost, early in the design process. The Boeing 737-300/400/500 Bleed Air Control System is used as a test model, and the results...
