Hi Manoj Mathur,
Thanks for your helpful information, but the website linkage as mentioned at the end of your article is not available for me, what's wrong with it?

Apparently, the link *** DEAD LINK WAS personal.engin.umich.edu/~gmazur/triz/ *** was one of many set up at the University of Michigan website for students and others associated with the University and the named individual no longer maintains an individual webpage on the University's server. (I checked the University's index and no Mazur is currently listed.)

Before being sent to Japan I was in the middle of getting a master's degree at U of M. I still have a student account there, so I looked up Dr. Mazur. Apparently, the University switched servers in February and he has not updated the link. I found this one on his personal bio page.

So terrible.

Hi Marc, can you do me a favor to share some cases about RED-X?

[Marc]

I don't have anything myself off hand. Sorry I can't personally help. Maybe one of the others here can.

Here are a few online resources:

This one is an overview of the methodology by the University of Waterloo.

This one is an ASQ Webinar by Richard Shainin. It includes a case study, but was done at a high level. Enough to whet your appetite, but not enough to teach the details.

The following book Statistical Engineering: An Algorithm for Reducing Variation in Manufacturing Processes incorporates an approach that is extremely similar to the Shainin Red X approach.
