EXAMPLE 10.3
Figure13.4 is an example of a multi- vari chart sampling plan. Figures13.5
through 13.7 show multi- vari chart results for coolant, machine, and bit,
respectively.
PROCEDURE
Step 1: Start a sampling plan by determining which three factors will be
considered.
Step 2: Determine the levels of each factor.
