A Quality System DatabaseTBMG-78294/1/2010
A quality system database (QSD), and software to administer the database, were developed to support recording of administrative nonconformance activities that involve requirements for documentation of corrective and/or preventive actions, which can include ISO 9000 internal quality audits and customer complaints. [“ISO 9000” denotes a series of standards, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), for implementation of quality systems to be used in contractual situations.] The software provides for recording and storage of data, enables tracking, and provides status information.
Setting the Record Straight with Capability Indices2004-01-17473/8/2004
There is still much controversy and confusion in industry today regarding the use of process capability indices and analysis. A lack of knowledge regarding the underlying variation assumptions and rationale sampling strategies in indices such as Cp, Cpk, Pp and Ppk have added to the confusion and in many cases has led to misapplication of these widely used metrics. This issue has also promoted inconsistency in the assessment of long-term versus short-term capability and has hampered the true characterization of processes which is a critical step in any continuous improvement effort. Capability indices and analysis, when properly applied can impart a wealth of knowledge regarding process performance as well as provide focus for improvement activity through the proper characterization and enumeration of variation. Being able to properly characterize variation if the first step in reducing it.

EVOP Design of Experiments2003-01-10153/3/2003
Evolutionary Operation (EVOP) experimental design using Sequential Simplex method is an effective and robust means for determining the ideal process parameter (factor) settings to achieve optimum output (response) results. EVOP is the methodology of using on-line experimental design. Small perturbations to the process are made within allowable control plan limits, to minimize any product quality issues while obtaining information for improvement on the process. It is often the case in high volume production where issues exist, however off-line experimentation is not an option due to production time, the threat of quality issues and costs. EVOP leverages production time to arrive at the optimum solution while continuing to process saleable product, thus substantially reducing the cost of the analysis. Sequential Simplex is a straightforward EVOP method which can be easily used in conjunction with prior traditional screening DOE or as a stand-alone method to rapidly optimize systems containing several continuous factors.

Diesel Emission Production Audit Test ProcedureJ1243_200210 (Current)10/21/2002
This SAE Recommended Practice applies to a production dynamometer test procedure which can be used to measure the smoke and gaseous emission characteristics of vehicular diesel engines. This procedure describes the smoke emission test method, smoke test cycle, gaseous emission test method, steady-state gaseous emission test cycle, equipment, instrumentation, calibration, data analysis, and correlation of results for comparison of production engine emission performance to the requirements of current or past Federal regulations. Variations in engines, instrumentation, and test equipment may require modifications to these procedures or data reduction methods. The acceptability of this procedure is dependent upon documented statistical data appropriate to correlate all tests, data reduction techniques, and special instrumentation to the required Federal tests. When using the audit test procedure to assess the emissions performance of production engines, considerations should be given to expected emissions deterioration factors and quality control limits should be adjusted accordingly. This document is intended as a guide for the measurement and assessment of transient smoke and steady-state gaseous emissions from heavy duty vehicular diesel engines only using a shortened engine dynamometer cycle which may be applicable to production line or production quality audit conditions. Key elements of the procedure closely resemble key elements of the Federal Test Procedures used for regulatory approval by the United States Government.

Implementing ISO 9000 through Value Engineering9806222/23/1998
Common Process Initiative, also known as ISO 9000 is the largest and most ambitious Acquisition Reform Innovation ever taken on by the Federal Government. It is fundamentally, a broad based, universally applicable Value Engineering (VE) Program, yet it is not utilizing any of the VE fundamentals. Years of value experience is being lost. The size of the initiative (in financial impact and universality of application); its direct relevancy to the “Cost Reduction Mission” of VE; and its need for enlightened use of the VE contractual protocol and change facilitation techniques, (i.e. VECP's), makes it vital that it be heard at this conference.

ISO 9000 and QS-9000: The Federal Government's Role in Quality Standards Systems9811752/1/1998
Should the United States government become involved in regulating quality standards systems which provide guidelines for quality management and quality assurance of products and services? This paper examines recent developments within quality standards systems, in particular ISO 9000 and QS-9000, and their effects on small businesses, automobile and other industries, and international trade. The difference between these standards is one is representative of international consensus on the essential features of a quality system while the other is focused on applying these international rules to specific sectors of industry. Analysis is conducted on whether government involvement is necessary and, if so, the ways in which government could assist in standards development, regulation, and/or enforcement.

A New 5MPH Bumper System94227711/1/1994
A new bumper system which provides 8 kph (5 mph) vehicle protection with superior quality, outstanding durability and high value is in production. The system includes five new technologies: Hot stamped, ultra high strength front beam, 970 N/mm2 (160 KSI) which also is the #1 body structure crossmember. Ultra high strength roll formed rear beam 1150 N/mm2 (190 KSI). polypropylene foam isolators designed for controlled energy management Thermoplastic olefin (TPO), injection molded fascias Two component urethane paint for long term color, gloss and scratch resistance. This bumper system, installed on over 100,000 vehicles so far, meets both MPV and passenger car 8 kph standards. Consumer and insurance industry trends indicate increasing demand for Multi Purpose Vehicle (MPV) bumper systems which meet 8 kph criteria. The major competitors in the MPV market (Aerostar, Grand Caravan, Toyota Previa, GM APV's, and Mazda MPV) have either 0 kph or at best 4 kph systems. All Ford cars and most passenger cars have 8 kph bumper systems. Consistent, high quality vehicle to vehicle exterior appearance is a must in the marketplace. Today's sophisticated consumer expects good fits and long life from the vehicle. Many current bumper systems are unable to be assembled, manufactured and delivered to meet these requirements due these typical approaches: Operator dependant installation of fascias (do not locate directly to surrounding sheetmetal). PGM's which locate independently to structure and do not locate the beam well. Materials and paints which cannot achieve the most recent demands for high milage. Developing a mini-van bumper system which met the performance and quality needs along with the other cost, weight, investment, timing, testing, styling, manufacturing and assembly criteria required the team to investigate new technologies. Five technologies allowed all needs and criteria to be met or exceeded. The purpose of this paper is to provide an understanding of these technologies and encourage additional applications.

Accurate Elemental Analysis of Multigrade Lubricating Oils by ICP Method: Effect of Viscosity Modifiers93269410/1/1993
Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP) is an industry accepted method for elemental analysis of lubricating oils. High sensitivity and multi-element measurement capability are some of the reasons for its popularity. The technique has been developed into a formal ASTM procedure, D4951. In many instances, however, the ICP method has been found to yield unreliable results. In particular, elemental analyses of multigrade oils have been frequently observed to be in error by as much as 20%. A study of oil formulation components identified viscosity modifiers (VMs) as having the greatest impact on the accuracy of this technique. The magnitude of this effect depends, among other things, on VM concentration in the lubricant. It has been found that viscosity modifier polymers interfere with the formation of aerosol, a critical step in the ICP analytical procedure, thus affecting the sample delivery to the plasma torch. Modifications of the ASTM D4951 ICP-AES procedure have been developed to eliminate biased results due to the presence of viscosity modifiers.

Voice Data Entry Systems - An Effective Management Tool - NOW8001992/1/1980
Voice data entry systems are achieving productive and effective results NOW. Although the future will provide many changes to this technology which will reduce the costs, make them easier to use, etc., many companies have taken advantage of what can be accomplished through practical approaches to their application requirements. Since nothing available today is fully perfected, those who wait for perfection are missing out on improving their operations and profits. Much can be learned by evaluating how voice data entry systems have been utilized by creative management personnel.
