For this assignment you need one for Variables and one for Attributes (pls. make up missing data: I am keen to see, that you understand the methods well, therefore please make sure, tahat one of the processes is initially out-of-control, and then explain to me how you fixed it to put it back in-control! (Note, that if a process is out-of-control, it is NOT sustainable!) This means, that you'll have one control chart for variables out-of-control and then in-control, and then another one for variables, also out-of-control and then in-control (4 control charts in total!).
- Show your main process limitations; based on the offered templates create / populate with your own data your own control charts for variables and attributes, and
- Document a TQM improvement solution processes with your own data that you have customized.
- Also, show how your (real or made up) company can collaborate in designing green and sustainable TQM processes with the four companies given you in your Learning Pack. Explain HOW you are planning to do this together with THEM. YOU MUST WORK WITH THEM; the boss says so...). Note, that if a process is out-of-control, it is NOT sustainable!
