 | Brain Teasers: Short-Run Capability: How Much Data Is Needed?
Lidia, a process engineer, has been assigned to set up short-run capability studies to test critical characteristics of new product designs. Current practice is to make a production run of nine, 18 or 30 units to test. Because time and cost are concerns, most of the process engineers conduct the short-run capability studies with nine units. However, Lidia is interested in finding out how many units she really needs to test in order to detect a shift in the average of each characteristic of a new design.
