Hi, folks. I need your help.

We need some "filler" for our company newsletter. I remember seeing (here, I thought, but maybe not) a list headed "If 99% conforming is good enough, then..." and a lst of things like how many planes would crash, how many newborns would me dropped, etc. that would be perfect. A search here did not reveal it, and a Google search was of no help either.

Does anyone know where such a list can be found?

3.8 Sigma, 99% Good
  • 20,000 lost articles of mail per hour
  • Unsafe drinking water for almost 15 minutes each day
  • 5,000 incorrect surgical operations per week
  • Two short or long landings at most major airports each day
  • 200,000 wrong drug prescriptions each year

There's more in this thread wherein I get cranky :mad:about using these kinds of examples in manufacturing setting.
I thought I had seen it here. Should have searched 99% success instead of 99% conforming.

Anyway, Jim, why the crankiness? I think they are a fun way to illustrate the importance of doing things right.

I think it trivializes statistical awareness through use of non sequiturs. I don't want to repeat what I wrote in the other thread, but this post sort of sums it up.

One small piece of FOD in an oil system allowed me to experience a Martin-Baker ride and a nylon descent from an airplane about 20 years ago.

Use that as the 99% ezample.

Randy,

Just for my own peace of mind.....:D
  • FOD = Foreign Object Damage?
  • Martin-Baker = An Aircraft Ejection Seat?
  • Nylon (descent) = Parachute?
Did you do OK?

Thanks.

Stijloor.
