PROBLEM STATEMENT
• 35% of our Middle East customers that are currently using the latest
Catapult-Forza, are returning the product launched in January 2012
for their military training purposes because the distance travelled by
the ball doesn’t meet their requested specification range of 200 +- 2
inches. Resulting in a negative profit impact of $10M and reducing
market share around 20%.
PROJECT OBJECTIVE
• Reducing the product returns from our middle east customers from
35% to 15% by the end of May 2012 to save $5.7M, by modifying
and revising the hardware and functionality of the Catapult-Forza ,
such that it can meet customers shooting specification range (200 +-
2 inches) in every attempt.

PRIMARY AND SECONDARY METRICS
•
Primary Metric is used to measure process performance and is the
gage used to measure success.
• In this case distance travelled by the ball is our primary metric
•
Secondary Metrics is the vertical distance from the location of our
catapult to the floor

GAGE R&R ANALYSIS

Components of Variation
“Part-to-Part“ variation is 98.32% .
Repeatability and Reproducibility together have a total of 1.67% of variation.
This is an ideal result which shows the accuracy and consistency of operators’ measurements.

R-Chart by Operators
It shows all the measurements performed by different operators.
Most measurements that were recorded were very close to the average.

X-Bar Chart by Operators
The above X-Bar chart shows that some points are inside the control limits. This means these parts
variations (third and fourth parts) are not easy to detect. This chart shows our measurement system is
making it difficult to measure part to part differences for part three and four for operator one and two but
for operator three just part three is inside the limit and difficult to measure .
GAGE R&R ANALYSIS

Results by Parts
The measurements that were taken should vary little from each other.
Most measurements that were recorded were very close to the average.
The Marble ball readings were the most accurate measurements recorded compared to other parts.

Results by Operators
The above chart shows the measurement of each part by each operator. In this case the total number of
measurement is 15 (5 Parts x 3 Times).
The variations between the measurements of each operator is different. The averages are varying for all 3
Operators. Ideally, the variation in measurement of each operator must be the Same.
Reasons are Human Errors, Reduction in Elasticity Of The Rubber Band, Instrument Related Errors, Setup
For Measurements

Operators / Parts Interaction
Average measurement taken by each operator on each part
The variation in the measurement is very low

PARETO CHART OF THE EFFECTS
•
•
•
•
Minitab displays the absolute value of the
Effects on the Pareto Chart
The Chart shows which Effects are active
meaning which effects are affecting the
distance
The plot shows that Position of the Pin on
Stationary Arm is active
Chart also shows the interaction
between other factors
INTERACTION PLOT FOR RESULTS
• This Graph helps us look at the
Significant Interaction between the 3
sources of error
• It tells us how big each effect is
• Here, In order to get highest yield from
our experiment, angle should be set to
point 4, position of the stationary pin
should be set to 3 and position of the
pin on the moving arm to 3
NORMAL PLOT OF THE EFFECTS
•
•
The Normal Plot and Pareto Chart shows
which effects influence the yield
The graphs shows all the points are outside
the fitted line hence active
MAIN EFFECTS PLOT FOR RESULTS
• The Plot shows the effects of changing angle
and the positions of the pins on the stationary
and moving arm
• Here we can see that the Positions of the Pins
on the Stationary Arm has the major effect on
achieving the target spec and then the
Position of the Pin on Moving Arm
Factors

CUBE PLOT FOR RESULT
• From The Cube Plot, In order To Get The
Desired Specification Of The Distance i.e.
78.74 inches,
 The Angle should be set to point 4
 The Position of the Pin on the Fixed
Arm should be between 1 & 3
 The Position of the Pin on the
Stationary Arm should also be
between 1 & 3
OPTIMIZATION PLOT
• As the name suggest, the plot gives the
combination of effects for optimum
efficiency, i.e. to meet the desired
specifications
• In our case,
 The Angles should be set to point 4
 The Position of the Pin on the Fixed
Arm should be at point 1.7822
 The Position of the Pin on the
Stationary Arm should be at point
1.4021
FORMULA
Y = F(X)
Target Value = F (Position of Pin On Stationary
Arm) + F (Position of Pin On Moving Arm) +
F (Angle Of Moving Arm)
78.74 = F(1.7822) + F(1.4021) + F(4.0)

PROCESS NORMALITY PLOT
The Normality plot shows a scatter plot of the measurements and the line of best fit. More
points are on and closer to the line of best fit comparatively. The P-Value is 0.703 which
proves our distribution is normal.
PROCESS CAPABILITY PLOT
The Process Capability test shows that the Cpk is 0.51 which is better than our previous Cpk
value. However the process is still not capable .
Xbar-R CHART
•
The X bar chart shows
 The points are the average of each
subgroup
 The red control limits which shows the
process in under control as none of the
points are outside the UCL and LCL
 The green line is the overall average
which is the mean X bar which is
78.537
•
The R bar chart shows
 The points as difference in the largest
and the smallest measurement within
each sub group
 The green line is the grand average of
each points which is the mean R bar
which is 0.753
 The red lines are the upper and lower
control limits and here none of the
points are outside the UCL and LCL
CURRENT SIGMA LEVEL
• Sigma Level = Cpk x 3
• Current Cpk = 0.51
• Current Sigma Level = 0.51 x 3 = 1.53
CONCLUSION
• All the Data points in the Xbar and R chart are
within the UCL and LCL hence the process is in
control.
• The Cpk of the process has increased from 7.82 to 0.51.
• Further Analysis is required to increase the
Cpk and Sigma level.
