• Mean
Also known as the arithmetic mean , the mean is typically what is meant by the word average. The mean
of variable is given by ( the sum of all values )/(number of values ). Despite its popularity, the mean may
not be an appropriate measure of central tendency . This is generally in case of populations, having
outliers or extreme values .
Example : Calculate the standard deviation and variance for the given data ; 1,2,3,4,5
m = (1+2+3+4+5)/5 = 3
Variant
• Variant
Variation occurs in everything. No two things are exactly the same.
Variation is the sum total of all minute changes that occur every time a process is performed . Variation is
always present at some level.
Variance is a measure of how spread out a distribution is. The formula for the variance in population is :
s2 = ∑(X-m)2 / n-1 [If sample size > 30, in that case n-1 is replace by n]
Where m is the mean and n is the number of scores or population size
X X-m (X-m)2
Example : Calculate the variance for the given data ; 1,2,3,4,5
1 (1-3) = -2 4
2 (2-3) = -1 1
Solution : m= ( 1+2+3+4+5 )/5 = 15/5 = 3
3 (3-3) = 0 0
s2 = ∑(X-m)2/n-1= 10/(5-1) = 2.5 4 (4-3) = 1 1
5 (5-3) = 2 4

Standard Deviation
• Standard Deviation
Standard Deviation also indicates the spread in the population. It is the square root of variance. Standard
Deviation is denoted by “s”

Cp = 2 In this case it is evident that the spread of the process is very less, but it is shifting from the
mean. This process will have a good Cp value but poor Cpk value.

GRR
Every manufacturing company that gets audited, anywhere in the world, is required to do gauge repeatability
and reproducibility (R&R) studies. In some cases, this one study is the only chance to find unknown problems with
measurement quality. (When problems do occur, it is often downstream from calibration)
Hint: Gage R&R doesn't evaluate your product,
it evaluates your ability to measure your product accurately and consistently.
Gage repeatability and reproducibility calculates the total variation (TV) from: 1.
appraisers (AV), 2. equipment (EV, i.e., gages) and 3. part variation (PV). It then uses total
variation to determine how much variation is attributable to appraisers and equipment
(%R&R).
If your parts are identical, there is NO Part Variation and all of the variation falls to the
appraisers and equipment.
