From your local grocery store or a convenience store, purchase two Large Bags (non-peanut) of M&M’s candies and mix them together to create one large sample.
DATA COLLACTION
1. Table: Display a table to report the colors found in your sample and how many candy units per color (5 Points)
2. Bar Char: Display a bar chart of the number of each color found in your sample (5 points) (
WRAPPER FOR CHARTER AND TABLES: For best results, report consumers will get the most out of your results if you provide ancillary information to your tables and diagrams. Tables and charts with appropriate titles, appropriate axis labels, an impact statement and some form of the summary are typically well received by report consumers.
USE OF DATA ANALYSIS TOOL:
3. Use Minitab to create a Pareto chart of the defects found in your sample. Copy and Paste into your report. (5 Points) (I have already done this part please see attached file "M&M data Collection").
Note: Defects in M&M candies may be classified as “m” missing, chipped, broken, smashed, uncoated, misshapen, Peanut, twins, and misprint "m." (I have already done this part please see attached file "M&M data Collection").
DATA RESULTS / ANALYSIS: Please answer all listed below questions individualy. This is the main part!!
4. Referencing your bar chart; give the interpretation of the results. What are your analysis and insights? For example, what color did you find most frequently in your sample? What color did you find least? What could this be attributed to? Should this be fixed? If so, how could this be fixed? (5 Points)
5. Explain the purpose of a Pareto Chart and why they are used in PQM. Copy and paste your Pareto chart of defects here and interpret the results. (5 Points)
6. What tool would recommend for identifying the most commonly occurring defect? What are some of the benefits and limitations of using this tool? What was the most frequently occurring defect in your data set? What do you think the cause of the most frequent defect might be? (5 Points)
7. What quality tool would recommend for finding the cause of the most frequently occurring defect? Apply this tool thoroughly to your results and provide insights/analysis/recommendations. (5 Points).
APPROPRIATE "WRAPPER" (5 Points)
– Strong and Comprehensive Introduction
– Strong and solid Conclusion/Summary
– In-Line Citations
– Reference Page that complies with APA Standards.
Note: Evidence of research from academia and other reputable sources (Wikipedia is NOT a reliable source).
– References are correctly cited within the body of the paper. APA format is required for in-text citation.
– Examples of personal experience (work, life) that supports the research.
– All references cited correctly at the end of the paper (Reference page).
APA format is required for reference pages.
– Use APA style for in text citations and your reference page (double spacing not required).
Additional Note: I attached a template analysis report for this assignment that report will help you to get a general idea but please do not heavily rely on that because that template has many errors and omissions, There for this Analysis Report has to be 5 times better from the template.
