7 Fujiyama Electronics Case Study
Fujiyama Electronics Case Study – Due Week 7

Objective
This case study looks at the behavior of a circuit board process
though the use of Control Charts. At least two Control Charts will need to be
constructed, and from them you will be asked to provide an assessment of what
you see. A template to facilitate the construction of the Control Charts has
been provided. You are not required to use this template. A tutorial that
outlines the steps for this case is located in Doc Sharing.
Problem
Statement
Fujiyama Electronics, Inc. has had difficulties with circuit boards
purchased from an outside supplier. Unacceptable variability occurs between two
drilled holes that are supposed to be 5 cm apart on the circuit boards. Thirty
samples of four boards each were taken from shipments from the supplier as
shown in the data from the worksheet. Data in the worksheet below can also be
assessed here.
Project
Deliverables
The student will submit the completed case study in a Word
document to their Dropbox by the end of class Week 7. The paper is worth 50
points.
The student will complete and/or answer the following questions.
Calculate X-Bar-Bar, R-Bar, and associated control limits using
the data in the table above. Create X-Bar•R (Average & Range) Control
Charts from the data in the table above. Discuss notable out-of-control conditions
displayed in the completed X-Bar•R (Average & Range) Control Charts. Only
consider points outside the control limits. Do not consider runs, set of points
within certain zones, etc. If the conditions you note could be defined as
assignable conditions and they are removed from the process, what will happen
to the X-Bar•R Control Chart?(a) Remove the data related to the out-of-control
points you observed from the origainal data and recalculate a new X-Bar-Bar,
R-Bar, and associated control limits.
(b) Create new X-Bar•R (Average & Range) Control Charts from your updated
data.
Discuss how the two sets of Control Charts are different. What has
changed?The format of the case study should conform to the Publication
Manual for the American Psychological Association (APA), 6th
edition, for title page and text. Citations and references are not required. A
basic APA tutorial can be found inthe Webliography and a paper template can be
found in Doc Sharing. The completed case study will be submitted to your Dropbox
as an MS Word document. All graphics and charts will be a part of the Word
document and submitted as a file. Documents authored in other applications such
as WordPerfect or MS Works will not be accepted.
This project is to be accomplished individually, and will reflect
the work of each student. All DeVry University policies are in effect including
the plagiarism policy. Late papers will not be accepted without prior
permission.
Submit your Fujiyama Case Study paper to the Dropbox located on
the silver tab at the top of this page by the end of Week 7. For instructions
on how to use the Dropbox, read these Step-by-Step
Instructions or watch this Dropbox Tutorial.

Best Practices
The following are the best practices in preparing this paper.
Sample papers, using the APA format, are located in Doc Sharing. Other useful
information has also been provided there, including an APA paper template.
Cover Page – Include who you prepared the paper for, who prepared it,
and the date. Body of Your Work –
Titles to identify different areas that you address. State the main ideas,
major points in each idea, and supporting information. Break down each main
idea you will use in the body of your paper. Show some type of division like
separate sections that are labeled, separate groups of paragraphs, or headers.
You would include the information you found during your research and
investigation. Summary and Conclusion –
Summarizing is similar to paraphrasing but presents the gist of the material in
fewer words than the original. An effective summary identifies the main ideas
and major support points from the body of your work. Minor details are left out.
Additional hints on preparing the best possible project. Apply a three-step
process of writing… Plan, Write, and Complete. Prepare an outline of your
research paper before you go forward. Complete a first draft and then go back
to edit, evaluate, and make any changes required. Use visual communication if it
will help clarify and support your work. Any material that can be removed and
not affect the clarity of your work is essentially filler, and should be
avoided. Filler distracts from the flow of your work and will most likely cause
you to lose points. References – Not
