Field emission from carbon nanotubes (CNT) for display purposes was optimized using Design of Experiments (DOE). The brightness was improved by three orders of magnitude but the achieved gains could not be sustained in the “Control” phase of a DMAIC project and the process reverted to poor performance. It took an intense effort of circa two months to recover the process. Monte Carlo simulations...

This paper develops and illustrates a case in manufacturing management, using the instance of justifying quality improvement of ball bearings—a common precision product whose correct manufacture and assembly greatly affects their efficiency, utility and life. Mass-produced at high speed, bearings extend a fertile domain for benefiting from QA apparatus including Gage R&R, ISO standards, samplin...
