Application: Six Sigma

Find values for the four Xpult parameters that you believe will allow you to consistently shoot a ball on target. (You might wish to complete the problem solving exercise first.)

 Using the exact same specifications conduct a sequence of 10 shots at the target.

• Why were some of your shots on target, while others were not? Identify at least five factors that contributed to the ball missing the target.
• How could you reduce the undesirable effect of the factors you identified above?
• Is there anything in your settings of the design variables that could be changed to allow you to hit the target more consistently?
