Introduction
Overview
The Romidot StatPack is an add-on software package for the
RomiShape/AL system.
RomiShape/AL is a Windows based, on-line, integrated Quality-Control &
Information System for the inspection of profile cross-section in extrusion
industries.
The Romidot StatPack is RomiShape’s statistical information package. It
offers the capability to obtain the widest range of statistical information in
chart form as well as graphically.
By utilizing this information, you can drastically reduce the amount of
production rejects, as well as monitor the performance of dies etc.
The savings in human resources, time as well as wasted raw materials will
be felt immediately.
Features
• Die-wear monitoring
• Raw material and production quality control (temperature,
pressure and velocity)
• Reports Filtering
Principles of Operation
The Romidot StatPack can be installed on any PC sharing the same
network as the RomiShape system. It can be operated in conjunction with
RomiShape’s DataPack or as a stand-alone product.
A user-friendly interface facilitates the importation of data from the
original RomiShape MS file database, which can be updated upon request.
The Romidot StatPack can handle any number of samples and an
unlimited number of dimensions per sample.

Operating Procedures
The File Menu Commands
Importing a *.ms File
The .ms files are saved, by default, in the Ftraces directory of the Shadow
application.
When importing for the first time, you import a *.ms file from the common
directory to the database.
The common.ms file comprises all the .ms files on your system.
You can import specific .ms files that represent specific parts. This
method is much faster than downloading the common .ms file.
TO IMPORT A *.MS FILE
1. > The ROMIDOT STATPACK MAIN SCREEN > FILE > IMPORT MS
DATA.
2. Select the required file.
The 'SQL' cursor appears. At this time, the system is preparing a
database. After a few minutes, the file is loaded and its data is
displayed in the ROMIDOT STATPACK MAIN SCREEN.
For a full a description of the ROMIDOT STATPACK MAIN SCREEN
loaded with a *.ms file, see the relevant section in the Around the
Windows chapter (page 3-1).

Graph Reports
For a full description of the various GRAPHIC REPORTS, see the Graph
Reports section in the Around the Windows chapter (page 3-7).
Viewing Graph Reports
TO VIEW A GRAPHIC REPORT
1. Open the relevant file in the ROMIDOT STATPACK MAIN SCREEN.
2. Depending on the type of GRAPH REPORT, you might choose a
report of more than one measurement. If this is the case, select
the relevant measurements or samples by pressing CTRL and
clicking on them.
If this is not the case, select the required MEASUREMENT or
SAMPLE.
3. From the GRAPH menu, select the required type of GRAPH
REPORT.
The GRAPH REPORT of the selected item(s) appears.
Viewing the Exact Date and Time of a Specific Measurement
As each consecutive measurement with a different value is indicated by an
incontinuity point in the graph, you can view the exact date and time that
the specific measurement at that point was taken, on the X-Axis.
Similarly, when more than one consecutive measurement is taken and
they have the same value, the graph line appears parallel to the X-Axis
and the date and time of each of these measurements appear on the XAxis.
Not all measurements can be seen in a general view of the graph.
Figure 4-2 illustrates a number of incontinuity points that occur between
7:54:23 pm on October 7 and 7:59 pm on November 1.

Filtering
Filtering the Parameters
Filtering enables you to extract specifically required SAMPLES for GRAPHS,
REPORTS and INSTANT STATISTICAL RESULTS. The default FILTER is the
DATE AND TIME RANGE, located at the top right corner of the MAIN SCREEN
(Figure 2-1). When you select a SAMPLE or SAMPLES for which you require
a GRAPH or REPORT, the related DATE AND TIME RANGE for that selection
will be that shown on the MAIN SCREEN, either by default or adjusted as
required. The value that appears by default, refers to the DATE AND TIME
RANGE between the first and last scan taken of the selected SAMPLE
related to the selected REFERENCE.
Furthermore, you can specify up four pre-specified parameters:
• Die Copy Number
• Order Number
• Press Number
• Cavity Number
The data for these four profile parameters has been previously generated
in the PROFILE PARAMETER dialog box accessible through the SCAN NEW
SAMPLE dialog box in the Shadow application.
An additional optional filter that can be included in the FILTER
parameters. is that of DATE AND TIME. This is available by selecting the
USE DATE RANGE check box in the FILTER SAMPLES group box.
This means that you actually have four choices when specifying the
FILTER:
• The (default) DATE AND TIME filter (Simple, manual selection).
• Just the adjusted DATE AND TIME filter
• Any or all of the four pre-specified parameters as shown above.
• The four pre-specified parameters as shown above, as well as the
DATE AND TIME filter.
The Filtering Concept
The filtering concept is based on the Boolean theory.
If for example, you initially choose all four of the filters in the FILTER
SAMPLES group box, the ‘AND’ operator is initiated. If however you
initially choose two of the four filters for example, and subsequently add
one or more options, the ‘OR’ operator is initiated to this group of filters.
The following diagram illustrates the ‘AND’ Operator concept:

As a general example, the constituent parameters of the center bar in
Figure 3-7, are a total of 32 measurements and a mid-value
of 4.53.
6-14
The StatPack User Guide V3.0-R01 (1)TEMP.doc
Graph Options
There follows an explanation as to how the value of 4.53 is arrived at. The
explanation refers specifically to the above magnified section taken from
Figure 3-7.
The values (4.47, 4.53 and 4.59) that appear along the X-Axis and are
located at the middle point of each bar, are the mid-values of their
respective bars. Each bar represents a range that is 1/10th of twice the field
of tolerance.
In the center bar, we see (in Figure 3-7) that a total of 32 measurement
results fall between a range of 4.50 and 4.56 (see the calculations in the
magnified section). Their mid-value is 4.53.
In the left-hand calculation of the magnified section, the mid-value of the
center bar is subtracted from the mid-value of the left bar and the result is
0.06. That result is divided by two (0.03) and then subtracted from the
mid-value of the center bar. The result is 4.50 and represents the lowest
value of the 32 measurements represented in the center bar.
In the right-hand calculation of the magnified section, the mid-value of the
center bar is subtracted from the mid-value of the right bar and the result
is 0.06. That result is divided by two (0.03) and then added from the midvalue of the center bar. The result is 4.56 and represents the highest value
of the 32 measurements represented in the center bar.

Changing the Relative Tolerance to Obtain a Wider View
If the value of 'NGR' (the total number of SAMPLES appearing on the
displayed graph,) is less than the value of 'N', then there are additional
sample readings that do not appear on that displayed graph.
These readings are located either to the left or right of those appearing in
the graph. As an example, if you see that in
Figure 3-16,the visible readings appear to the left of the MEAN VALUE and
are more concentrated towards the LSL. Those readings that are not
visible, exist further to the left. You will therefore have to adjust the
setting of the LIMIT values in the EDIT GRAPH dialog box.
The following two figures illustrate a typical setting and displayed graph
respectively. The readings are concentrated towards the left of the
displayed graph and, from the details shown in the Data Box, it can be

Statistical Process Control Charts
Statistical Process Control Charts
StatPack is the Romidot software for generating SPC (Statistical Process
Control) charts and reports. The SPC features enable the manager to
make decisions regarding whether to get involved with production at any
point in time.
Four types of SPC charts are available:
•
X-bar and R charts
•
X-bar and S charts
•
Z chart
•
X-bar and moving range charts
The chart type is selected from the GRAPH menu, as shown in Figure 7-6.
Figure 7-6. Graph Menu
To generate any of the SPC graphs, it is necessary to define parameters
relating to the type of subgroup, the work shifts, the time frame and the
sample size.
All graphs other than the Z Chart relate to actual measured values
and do not take into account any defined tolerances.

The X-Bar and R Charts
The X-bar chart and R chart (Figure 7-8) are used to assess whether the
production is continuing in a normal fashion or a deviation has occurred
that necessitates intervention by the manager. This is determined in
accordance with the criterion that all sample measurements (such as a
diameter, thickness, or the distance between two points) are located within
the range of plus or minus three times the standard deviation (sigma)
around the mean value, where the standard deviation is defined in the
glossary, which is accessed by clicking HELP > GLOSSARY.
The X-bar chart shows the average value of a given name of measurement
in each selected sample.
Click X-BAR AND R CHARTS in the MENU (Figure 7-6). The legend to the

essentially the same as for the X-bar chart (Table 2).
The red UCLr (upper control limit) may not be symmetrical with the
red LCLr , which is zero if the calculated value would be negative.
Table 3. R Chart Legend
Range of Sample. The range of the measurements in each selected sample.
No Data. A hollow diamond indicates that the sample had no measured data
at all.
Full Group. A black square indicates that the sample was equal to the defined
sample size.
Partly full group. A blue square indicates that the sample was smaller than
the defined size.
Avg. Range. The green horizontal line bisecting the X-bar chart indicates the
mean value of all the displayed ranges.
The red UCLr (upper control limit) and LCLr (lower control limit) lines are
located above and beneath the mean value line, at a distance of three times
the standard deviation of the displayed-range values, or at zero, as described
above.

The X-Bar and S Charts
The X-bar chart and S chart (Figure 7-9) are used for further assessment
of whether the measurement results indicate that production is continuing
in a normal fashion, or that a deviation has occurred that necessitates
intervention by the manager.
The vertical
axis of the Xbar Chart
represents the
average value
of the
measurements.
The vertical
axis of the S
chart
represents the
standard
deviation for
each sample.

Click X-BAR AND S CHARTS in the MENU (Figure 7-6). The X-bar chart is
identical to that described above in The X-Bar and R Charts section above.
The S chart, on the other hand, shows the standard deviation for the
defined measurements of each subgroup. The green horizontal line
bisecting the S chart is the average value of the standard deviations of the
measurements plotted on the associated X-bar chart.
The legend (Table 4) is essentially the same as for the R chart (Table 3),
including the location of the upper and lower control limit lines, as pointed
out in the previous note.

The Z Chart
The Z chart (Figure 7-10), unlike the charts that have been discussed
above, indicates the deviations of the measurements from the specified
values. Each case in which the measured value is outside the required
tolerance (that is, “out of spec”) is defined as a defect. The criterion for
acceptance is that the measured values are within the specification limits.
The vertical
axis of the Z
Chart
represents
the
proportion of
defects in
terms of
sigma
Figure 7-10. Z Chart
The Z chart represents the individual values of the standard deviation for
each subgroup. Each point (designated the Z score) plotted on the chart
designates the proportion of defects in the subgroup. In each subgroup, ui
is the proportion of defects and is equal to the number of defects in the
group (work shift) divided by the number of units n in the group.
The calculations are discussed in the Calculations for Z Chart section below.
Table 5 describes the items shown on the Z chart.

There is no significance to the sample size of the group
under consideration, since the calculation is based on the
total number of items in each work shift.
The Moving Range Chart
The Moving Range chart (Figure 7-11) is the only chart that is based on
individual measurements. The Moving Range chart is used when it is
necessary for process control to be based on individual readings, rather
than subgroups.
The Individuals chart plots the measured value for each item that has
been measured, and the red CL is the center line that designates the
average of all these measurements.
The Moving Range Chart plots the difference between consecutive
measurements. Thus, the plotted value on this chart for the ith point is the
difference between the measured values of the ith and i-1st point.
The vertical
axis of the
Individuals
Chart
represents the
value of each
measurement.
The vertical

and that of the

Calculations for Z Chart
The calculations consist of determining the mean number of defects for all
the groups and comparing them to each other.
The parameter u bar is the average of all the values of ui for all the
measurements included in all the subgroups.
_
u=
u1 + u 2 + ... + u n
n
The standard deviation of all the measurements of all the units in the
subgroup is designated σn.
σ n = σ (ui ) , u = 1,2,...n
The value of the parameter Zi for each subgroup i is then defined as
_
ui − u
Zi =
σ (ui − un )
Zi designates the proportion of defects for the ith subgroup out of the total
number of measurements. The larger the value of Zi, the more defects in
that group with respect to the number of defects in the other groups. The
closer to zero this value is, the more the group is similar to the other
groups from the standpoint of the proportion of defects.
