Description

STATAPULT EXPERIMENT Part One We are going to conduct a version of a classic statistics experiment, often used when exploring Six Sigma, to identify and use some Lean tools and techniques.

Information: Your company makes special “widgets” where the Statapult represents the manufacturing process. The length and consistency of the throw of the Statapult is the measure of the quality of the widget.

Phase 1: Where are we now (Define / Measure). 

Each team member is to some produce widgets, so that the team produces at least 20 widgets.



Make sure that each ‘widget’ or throw is recorded.



Use the statapult pulled back to 172 to throw the ball with the catapult stop at an angle of 124 degrees (or as near as your statapult allows).



The distance travelled by the ball is the quality measure of the ball widget, but note that your customers also require a consistent product.

You need to make sure that you have a clear method statement for your experiment

Write down a clear and concise description/definition of the experimental method. Make sure that every step and each requirement is carefully recorded overleaf.

We will need to review the quality of your instructions for the experiment before we proceed.

Once the “Define” step is clear we will need to “Measure”. Carry out the experiment, precisely following your instructions, at least three times and record all the data. Experimental Data : _____________________ Run 1
