Predict s Extreme limits of variation. Not statistical. Probable variation. Percent rejects Long term variation Percent rejects. Variation using existing parts. Percent rejects.

Applica tion Critical systems. No rejects permitted. Most costly. Reasonable estimate. Some rejects allowed. Less costly. Drift in mean over time is expected. High quality levels desired. After parts are made. What-if? studies.
