ASQ – Grand Rapids Section
Definition
A type of Designed Experiment
 You identify possible sources of variation
 Assigns values to sources of variation
 You work on the biggest source

Example 1

(Barker) Coal is loaded from a strip mine
into train cars. If the sulfur content is
<5% it can be burned. Three hopper cars
are sampled four times each and each
sample is tested twice. How much
variability is from car-to-car variation?
Sample to sample? Test-to-test?


(Montgomery) Raw materials are
purchased from three suppliers and there
is too much variability in the finished
product. Each supplier is sampled four
times and each sample is tested three
times. Is the variability between suppliers?
Between batches? Between tests?


(Box, Hunter, Hunter) Paint pigment paste
is produced in 80 drum batches.
Moisture content is important, but varies
widely. Fifteen batches were sampled
twice each and each sample was tested
twice. Is the variability between batches?
Between samples? Between tests?

Nested vs. Crossed Designs

This is a choice for many GRR software
packages.
Which do you choose?
In a Crossed Design it is possible for the
different levels to participate in all of the other
levels.
In a Nested Design each level cannot participate
in all of the other levels.
Crossed Designs can test for interactions.
Nested Designs cannot test for interactions.
Example 1
A typical Gauge R&R is performed using a
1” micrometer. Ten parts are selected,
and 3 well-trained operators measure
each part 3 times. The GRR is performed
at a single location and all operators are
available on the same shift.
 Crossed or Nested? (crossed)

Example 2
Two locations of a company produce
mating parts that come together to
provide a sliding fit in use. Each location
sends 10 of their parts to the other
location where they are matched to parts
and tested for effort of sliding fit. Each
location uses their tensile tester (same
brand) with 2 operators, 10 parts, 3 trials.
 Crossed or Nested? (nested)

Example 3
You produce a part made from platinum
which is supplied to you in very small
batches. You have two machines set up to
run the part, you clean one machine while
you run the other so a batch is run
completely on one machine. You want to
test for variation from machine, batch,
operator, and measurement.

Overall Steps

5.
6.
Recognize a situation as a possible Nested
Design.
Collect and organize the data.
Calculate the Sum of Squares (SS) for each
level in the hierarchy.
Create an ANOVA table to calculate Mean
Square (i.e.,Variance) for each source.
Create an Estimated Mean Square table and
the set of equations to reflect the nesting.
Solve 4 and 5 for the Variance for each source.
Master Equation for SS
∑(x2)/n in x – (∑x)2/n in x
 x is the measured values.

◦ At the lowest level it is the individual value
◦ At higher levels it is a sum.
n is the number of values that went into
each x and usually differs.

Interpret
Batch to batch variation is the biggest
contributor. Work with the supplier to
minimize variation.
 Machine to machine variation is next largest.
Settle on one machine to run the parts.
 No need to write up any operators.
