The consequence of failures (unreliability, unavailability, costs, and customers' dissatisfaction... more The consequence of failures (unreliability, unavailability, costs, and customers' dissatisfaction) should be evaluated as early as possible during the product development phase, in order to improve the reliability, so that the product has the lowest total Life Cycle Cost (LCC) for customers. LCC depends both on the cost of reliability achievement and on the costs of restoration in service, after the failures: there are two ways, either reducing the failure rate of the parts or replacing the parts before they fail (preventive maintenance actions at suitable times to avoid failures). Preventive maintenance costs due to the down-time (for replacement) and to the expedinture for the replaced parts, but a failure could cost more because down-time is, in general, much more costly than that of replacement.We Learn from Failures (during reliability tests and use) in order to do better in future, short term, middle term, and long term. We show how to get benefit from that. We show the use of preventive replacement and find optimum value of the time interval t p as function of the cost parameters c0 and c1, the mission time interval 0-t and the reliability R(t); we show how optimise both the costs and the availability, using various cases found in the literature and in university lessons. So doing we improve the knowledge needed in practical applications. Everything is based on the Reliability Integral Theory.

Data are collected, generally, in two ways: 1) one sample of suitable size, 2) subsequent samples, at regular intervals of time. Often the data are considered normally distributed. This is wrong because the data must be analysed according to their distribution: Decisions are different. In several cases the data are exponentially distributed: we see how to scientifically deal with Control Charts (CC) to decide; this is opposite to what gives the T Charts that are claimed to be a good method for dealing with “rare events”: The Minitab Software (19 & 20 & 21) for “T Charts” is considered. The author will compare some methods, found in the literature with the author’s Theory RIT (Reliability Integral Theory): We will see various cases found in the literature. Classical Shewhart Control Charts and the TBE (Time Between Events) Control Charts have been considered: it appears that with RIT the future decisions will b...

This allows to find the optimum maintenance interval. Integral Theory of Reliability, devised by F. Galetto is used. When time t is infinite, one gets the solution found in many books and papers, that do not say that their solution is valid only after an infinite number of failures.

Visiting Companies, the author saw many times many Companies lacking Quality of Management, a huge problem against Quality achievement. Many people (often Professors) think that Quality in written documents is assured by the "Peer Review Process" carried out by members of "international scientific community", and that "Quality of teaching" is assured by their "academic standing…". To be real Managers, Present students and Company Management need to grow-up their knowledge because experience alone, without theory, teaches nothing what to do to make Quality. For Higher Education Institutions that "generate" future Managers, this means that professors MUST learn Quality ideas on Quality Management, in a correct and scientific way. All the methods, devised by F. Galetto, have been used for preventing and solving real problems in the Companies he was working for. In the paper, as already done several times, we present some cases (out of the hundreds known to the author) taken form some of the ten "Good and Reputed Journals", where professors (editors and referees, as well) were acting with disquality.

In particular we deal with Control Charts (CC) to make full use of the information contained in the samples of CCs for TBE (Time Between Events) data exponentially distributed or, in general, not normally distributed. The formulae for Control Limits in the Shewhart CCs are based on the Normal Distribution and are not valid for non-normal distributed data: the computed Control Limits (Confidence Intervals) are wrong; consequently, the decisions about the "In Control (IC) and Out Of Control (OOC) states of the process are wrong. The Control Limits of the CCs are wrongly computed, due to unsound knowledge of the fundamental concept of Confidence Interval. Minitab and other software use the "T Charts", claimed to be a good method for dealing with "rare events", but their computed Control Limits of the CCs are wrong (Minitab, SixPack, JMP or SAS). We will show that the Reliability Integral Theory (RIT) is able to solve various problems in the estimation (and Confidence Interval evaluation) of the parameters of distributions for Control Charts. The basics of RIT fill the gap existing in the concepts and methods about RAMS and other Statistical Applications. Reliability Integral Theory (RIT) of Reliability Tests provides the correct solution for CCs. Deficiencies in products and methods generate huge cost of DIS-quality (poor quality). Any book and paper are a product (providing methods): their wrong ideas and methods generate huge cost of wrong analyses and decisions for the Companies using them.

Many definitions in books lack scientificity: all those do consider "the period of time intended" but do not consider that "the interval 0-t MUST be the period of time intended". You hardly find the definition of Interval Reliability R(t|s), where s is the age of the system/ component/unit. We introduce the Stochastic G-Processes which rule the relationships between the reliabilities Ri(t|s) related to the system states, via Integral Equations. The stochastic processes [HMP (Homogeneous Markov), NHMP (Non-Homogeneous Markov), SMP (Semi-Markov), RP (Renewal), A&RP (Age and Repair)] used for reliability analyses (to the author knowledge) are particular cases of the G-Process. We show the advantages of using RIT for economics and business: see the cases from the books.

It seems that Peer Reviewers and Editors did not take care of the quality of published papers, because they missed Quality of Methods (Deming, Juran, Gell-Mann, Shewhart, Einstein, Galilei). This is very diffused in documents about Confidence Intervals and Control Charts [especially for Rare Events, where the data are assumed to follow the Weibull (or exponential) distribution]. Since generally the authors are professors it is important to see the two sides of the "publishing medal": authors and professors. Software (JMP, Minitab, SAS, …) get wrong Control Limits and do not find that processes are Out Of Control: this causes costs of disquality. The cases analysed here are from PRT Journals and teaching documents.

In particular we deal with Control Charts (CC) to make full use of the information contained in the samples of CCs for TBE (Time Between Events) data exponentially distributed or, in general, not normally distributed. The formulae for Control Limits in the Shewhart CCs are based on the Normal Distribution and are not valid for non-normal distributed data: the computed Control Limits (Confidence Intervals) are wrong; consequently, the decisions about the "In Control (IC) and Out Of Control (OOC) states of the process are wrong. The Control Limits of the CCs are wrongly computed, due to unsound knowledge of the fundamental concept of Confidence Interval. Minitab and other software use the "T Charts", claimed to be a good method for dealing with "rare events", but their computed Control Limits of the CCs are wrong (Minitab, SixPack, JMP or SAS). We will show that the Reliability Integral Theory (RIT) is able to solve various problems in the estimation (and Confidence Interval evaluation) of the parameters of distributions for Control Charts. The basics of RIT fill the gap existing in the concepts and methods about RAMS and other Statistical Applications. Reliability Integral Theory (RIT) of Reliability Tests provides the correct solution for CCs. Deficiencies in products and methods generate huge cost of DIS-quality (poor quality). Any book and paper are a product (providing methods): their wrong ideas and methods generate huge costs of wrong analyses and decisions for the Companies using them.

To get that, Culture is fundamental: Quality Management entails that “quality characteristics” have to be measured and good methods for “correct” data analysis are needed. Here we deal with Control Charts (CC) when the data are exponentially distributed. We will use the data taken from published documents (books and papers) dealing with CC based several times on the same data of Time Between Events (TBE). Since T Charts are claimed to be a good method for dealing with “rare events”, we consider, as well, the Minitab Software for “T Charts”. We will compare the various proposed methods with the Reliability Integral Theory (RIT) of Reliability Tests, for various cases found in the literature. In order to reduce the paper length we cannot provide the author’s ideas related to those of W. Shewhart about the Control Charts; the reader can appreciate the big difference between the Shewhart Control Charts and the TBE Control Charts by reading the author’s books. Doing that the future decisions of the Decision Makers will be sounder when the data are not normally distributed.

The document shows the ideas of the author to overcome the deep ignorance on Quality as it is found in many books dealing with Statistical Quality Control and Six Sigma. It is evident that there are many types of falseness provided by the “6 SigMONA practitioners”: they rob money from their clients that are not aware of that. When the 6 BMWists say “A company’s performance is measured by the sigma level of their business processes” they lie: they do not know that, IF they compute s from the company’s data, they know the estimate s (NOT ) AND s is never equal to ! The 1st falseness is the statement “variation is the enemy of Quality”. The 2nd falseness is the statement “variability reduction is Quality”. The 3rd falseness is the wide-spread use of the “Normal Distribution”. The 4th falseness is the statement “the number of defectives is 3.4 ppm”. The “6 SigMONA movement” does not deal properly with problem prevention, as on the contrary is done by GIQA. Scientificness is absent in the “6 SigMONA applications” as shown in the authors books.

• MONTGOMERY D.C. (1996), Introduction to Statistical Quality Control, Wiley & Sons (many drawbacks)
• CASCINI E. (2009), Sei Sigma per docenti in 14 capitoli, RCE Multimedia
Both these authors consider SIX SIGMA a great advance in Quality Management.
Many other people think the same!!!
Six Sigma is very popular and hyped: it is considered the panacea of all the Disquality problems (Disquality=contrary of Quality). It became popular due to mainly the “advertising” of two important CEOs, Bob Galvin (Motorola’s CEO nearly the mid-1980s) and Jack Welch (General Electric): they did not know how far they were from Quality!
To date (October 2018), I met more than 60 Six Sigma “so called” experts (are they?) who were and are completely ignorant about Quality and Reliability matters: in any case they have been Certified Black Belts (or Master Black Belts) and members of Six Sigma Academies (SSA).

Scientificness Matters in papers about TBE Control Charts, 2022

Several authors write about “Rare Events” data, with data are exponentially distributed. They sen... more Several authors write about “Rare Events” data, with data are exponentially distributed. They send their papers, on Control Charts for TBE (Time Between Events), to “Good and Reputed Journals or Magazines”, such as Quality and Reliability Engineering International, Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, Quality Technology & Quantitative Management, Journal of Quality Technology, Reliability Engineering & System Safety, Quality Engineering, Journal of Statistics and Management Systems, and other, whose Editors “Good and Reputed”. The papers are “Peer Reviewed by Good and Reputed Referees”. Therefore any reader should expect that those papers are “Scientific and based on Scientific Theory”. On the contrary, the papers are WRONG. The letters sent to the Editors are not yet been published: the papers are wrong and obviously the Editors cannot acknowledge that. Good decisions (Quality Decisions) depend on Scientific analysis of data: data must be analysed according their distribution: decisions are different, because they depend on the data distribution. This document is the first of a collection of the author’s papers raising the problem of WRONG TBE Control Charts. The reader will appreciate the big difference between the Shewhart Control Charts and the TBE Control Charts: doing that, the future decisions of the Decision Makers will be both sounder and cheaper, when the data are not normally distributed. The novelty of all the papers is due to the Scientific Way of Computing the Control Limits of the Control Charts, both with Normal distributed data and with Exponential distributed data. In this way a lot of wrong published papers “on Time Between Events” are to be discarded.
