| Abstract | Statistical Process Control (SPC) techniques are used widely in the manufacturing industry. However, it is sometimes observed that a deviation that is within the acceptable range of inherent process variation does not necessarily conform to specifications. This is especially true in the case of low volume; high precision manufacturing that is customary in aerospace and defense industries. In order to study the limitations posed by conventional SPC techniques in such manufacturing environments, a study was undertaken at TechSolve Inc., Cincinnati to develop a standalone SPC tool. The SPC tool so developed effectively communicates with an on-machine probe and analyzes the collected data to carry out a statistical analysis. MTConnect, a new-generation machine tool communications protocol, was used in developing the communication interfaces with the on-machine probe on a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine. The XML (eXtensible Markup Language) code used to extend the MTConnect schema to include the data obtained from the probing routines is also presented. The statistical analysis was developed as a Graphical User Interface (GUI) in LabVIEW. The statistical analysis was carried out as a case study by producing a widget. Real machining was carried out to produce 48 of these widgets using a combination of end mills and face mills. The data obtained during the subsequent quality testing was used to carry out the statistical analysis. The limitations of conventional SPC techniques during the developmental and analytical phases of the study are discussed. The presence of a chip during an on machine probing routine, the variations due to disparities in tool macro geometry, and the demand for conformance to requirements are studied in the view of a statistical process monitoring standpoint. Various alternatives are also discussed that aim to correct and improve the quality of machined parts in these scenarios. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
