Quality Assurance – An Evolutionary Process
Developing an effective quality assurance program is an evolutionary process beginning with the quality assurance of incoming materials … evolving to total quality management. Inspection Before/After Production Process Control Corrective Action During Production Continuous Improvement Quality Built Into The Process Acceptance Sampling Least Progressive Most Progressive
Quality Control Concepts
The manufacturing manager of the Hiney Winery is responsible for filling the Tiny Hiney wine bottles with 16 oz of wine. If the wine bottles are too full the Hiney Winery looses money and if they are do not contain 16 ounces their customers get upset. The steps involved in filling the Heiney Wine bottles is called a process. The process involves people, machinery, bottles, corks, etc. Do you think all Tiny Hiney's will contain exactly 16 ounces of wine? Why or Why Not? 16 oz Tiny Hiney
Quality Control Concepts
Which sample has less variability? 16 oz. 16 oz. Tiny Hiney
Quality Control Concepts
We measure process variability based on a sample statistic (mean, range, or proportion). The goal of statistical process control is to monitor and reduce process variability. Y 16 oz. Time All processes will vary over time!
What causes a process to vary?
People Machines Materials Methods Measurement Environment Random or Natural Variation (In Control) Special or Assignable Variation (Out of Control) Can you think of an example of random and assignable variation for each of the causes? Can you think of a way to reduce it?
Quality Control Concepts
Random or Assignable Variation? Why? 16 oz. 16 oz. Tiny Hiney
Assignable Variation Correctable problems Not part of process design
Due to machine wear, unskilled workers, poor material, etc. 16 oz. Can only be detected in a process which has stable or constant variation. The goal of process quality control is to identify assignable causes of variation and eliminate them. Random variation is much harder to identify; however, the goal remains to improve variability.
Monitoring Production (Inspection)
It is often impossible, impractical and cost prohibitive to inspect each and every element of production therefore statistical methods based on probability of failure are necessary to achieve a cost effective method of assuring quality. . Inspection of inputs/outputs … Acceptance Sampling . Inspection during the transformation process … Process Control Transformation Outputs Inputs process Acceptance Sampling Process Control Acceptance Sampling
Issues Involved In Inspection
. How much? How Often? . Where (at what points) should inspection occur? . Centralized or On-site inspection? The traditional view of the amount of inspection was that there was an optimum (cost) amount of inspection necessary to minimize risk of passing a defective. This was predicated on the facts: . As the amount of inspection increases the defectives that "get through" will decrease (ie. The "cost of passing defectives go down") . As the amount of inspection increases the cost of inspection increases The current view is that every effort involved in reducing the number of defectives will reduce costs.
Traditional View – How Much To Inspect
Cost Optimal Amount of Inspection Total Cost Cost of inspection (goes up as amount increases) Cost of passing defectives (goes down as amount increases)
Issues Involved In Inspection
How much to inspect and how often the inspection is done depends . On the item .. Low cost, high volume items - little inspection (e.g. paper clips, pencils, glassware, etc) .. High cost, low volume items with a high cost of a passing defective - more inspection (e.g. space shuttle) . On the processes that produce the item .. Reliability of the equipment .. Reliability of the human element .. The stability of the process … stable processes (those that infrequently go "out of control") require less inspection than unstable processes . On the lot (batch) size … large volumes of small lots will require more inspection than small volumes of large lots
Issues Involved In Inspection
Where to inspect depends on . Raw materials and purchased parts . Finished products . Before a costly operation (don't add costs to defective items) . Before a covering process such as painting or plating . At points where there is a high variability in the output either as a result of mechanical or human variability . Before an irreversible process
Issues Involved In Inspection
Centralized or On-site Inspection decisions are important . Centralized makes sense in retail environments, medical environments, when specialized testing equipment is required . On-site makes sense when quicker decisions are necessary to ensure processes (mechanical/human) remain in control Transformation Location 1 Transformation Location 2 Transformation Location 3 Transformation Location 4 Corporate Headquarters
Example Of Inspection – Service Business
Type of business Inspection points Characteristics Fast Food Cashier Counter area Eating area Building Kitchen Accuracy Appearance, productivity Cleanliness Appearance Health regulations Hotel/motel Parking lot Accounting Main desk Safe, well lighted Accuracy, timeliness Appearance, safety Waiting times Supermarket Cashiers Deliveries Accuracy, courtesy Quality, quantity
Statistical Process Control
Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a methodology using statistical calculations to ensure a process is producing products which conform to quality standards (design based, manufacturing based, customer based). Major activities . Monitor process variation . Diagnose causes of variation . Eliminate or reduce causes of variation Designed to keep or bring a process into statistical control.
Statistical Process Control
Statistical Process Control involves statistical evaluation of a process throughout the whole production cycle. The control process requires the following steps: Define in sufficient detail the characteristics to be controlled, what "in" and "out" of control means (ie. What is the quality conformance standard?) . Measure the characteristic (based on sample size data) . Compare it to the standard . Evaluate the results . Take corrective action if necessary . Evaluate the corrective action
Statistical Process Control Steps
Produce Good or Service Start No Special Causes Take Sample Yes Inspect Sample Stop Process Create/Update Control Chart Find Out Why
Process Variability All processes possess exhibit a natural (random) variability which are produced by a number of minor factors. If any one of these factors could be identified and eliminated, the change to the natural variability would be negligible. An assignable variability is where a factor which contributes to the variability of a process can be identified and quantified. Usually this type of variation can be eliminated thus reducing the variability of the process. When the measurements exhibit random patterns the process is considered to be in control. Non-random variation typically means that a process is out of control.
Statistical Process Control
Process Variability can be measured and a probability distribution can be calculated … it might look something like this Which process exhibits more stability (less variation)? When the factors influencing process variability can be identified and eliminated the probability distribution will exhibit less variability
The Normal Distribution and SPC
The Central Limit Theorem states that (for large samples) the sampling distribution is approximately Normal regardless of the process distribution; therefore, the Normal Distribution can be used to evaluate measurement results and to determine whether or not a process is "in control". Sampling distribution As the sample size increases, the variation in the sampling distribution decreases Process distribution Mean
The Normal Distribution and SPC
Mean 95.5% 99.7% Standard deviation The standard deviation (a measure of variability) of the sampling distribution is key to the statistical process control methods. 3 standard deviations (99.7% confidence) are typically used to establish Control Limits (LCL, UCL) used to monitor process control.
Control Limits In statistical process control, we are concerned with the sampling distribution. Control Limits (LCL, UCL) are set using the standard deviation of the sampling distribution. Sampling distribution Process distribution Mean LCL UCL Note: When control limits are established some probability still exists in the tails.
In Control or Out of Control?
Sample measurements between the LCL and UCL usually indicate that a process is in control. The probability of concluding a process is out of control when it is actually is in control is called a Type I error. The amount of probability ( ) left in the tail is referred to as the probability of making a Type 1 error Mean LCL UCL /2 = Probability of Type I error In Control Sample measurements beyond the LCL or UCL suggest that a process is Out of Control
Process Control Chart A Process Control Chart is a time series showing the sample statistics and their relationship to the Lower Control Limit (LCL) and Upper Control Limit (LCL). Once a control chart is established it can be used to monitor a process for future samples. The Process Control Chart may need to be re-evaluated if improvements are made. Y Time UCL LCL Center
Using A Process Control Chart
Measurements outside the control limits may indicate abnormal variation usually due to assignable sources UCL Center LCL 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Sample number We expect to see normal or random variation due to chance for measurements within the control limits
Using A Process Control Chart
We expect to see normal or random variation patterns within the control limits; however, this does not guarantee a process is in control. Consider the following example. What should a quality control manager do in this situation? UCL Center LCL 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Sample number
In Control or Out of Control
A process is deemed to be in control if the following two conditions are met. 1. Sample statistics are between the control limits Control Charts are used to test this condition 2. There are no non-random patterns present Pattern analysis rules are used to test this condition Otherwise, the process is deemed to be out of control.
Control Charts Four commonly used control charts
. Control charts for variables (measured or continuous) Range chart - monitor variation (dispersion) . Mean charts - monitor central tendency . Control charts for attributes (counted or discrete) .. p-chart - used to monitor the proportion of defectives generated by a process c-chart – used to monitor the number of defects per unit (e.g automobiles, hotel rooms, typed pages, rolls of carpet)
Run Charts – Check For Randomness
Pattern Analysis Run Charts – Check For Randomness Used in conjunction with control charts to test for randomness of observational data. The presence of patterns in the data or trends indicates that non-random (assignable) variation is present. A run is a sequence of observations with a certain characteristic. Two useful run tests: . Runs above and below the centerline data translated into A (above) and B (below) . Runs up and down data translated into U (up) and D (down)
Counting A/B Runs Counting Above/Below Runs (7 runs) B1 A2 A2 B3 A4 B5
If a value is equal to the centerline, the A/B rating is different from the last A/B rating.
Counting U/D Runs Counting Up/Down Runs (8 runs) U1 U1 D2 U3 D4 U5 D6
Note: the first value does not receive a notation If two values are equal, the U/D rating is different from the last U/D rating.
Expected Number of Runs
Once the runs are counted they must be compared to the expected number of runs in a completely random series. The expected number of runs and the standard deviation of the expected number of runs are computed by the following formula:
Compare Observed Runs to Expected Runs
Next, we compare the observed number of runs to the expected number of runs by calculating the following Standard Normal Z-statistic:
Run Test - In or Out of Control Acceptable number Runs
For a degree of confidence of 99.7% (3 standard deviations), we compare the comparison to -3 standard deviations and + 3 standard deviations. . If either the Zab or Zud is .. < lower limit then we have too few runs (Out of Control) .. Between the lower limit and upper limit then we have an acceptable number of runs (In Control) > upper limit then we have too many runs (Out of Conrtrol) Acceptable number Runs Too Few Runs Too Many Runs -3.00 3.00

Goodman Tire & Rubber Company
The Goodman Tire & Rubber Company periodically tests its tires for tread wear under simulated road conditions. To monitor the manufacturing process 3 radial tires are chosen from each shift of production operation. The operations manager recently attended a statistical process control (SPC) seminar and decided to adopt SPC to control and study tread wear. The manager believes the production process is under control and to establish control limits and monitor the process he took 3 randomly selected radial tires from 20 consecutive shifts. They were tested for tread wear and recorded in the table on the next slide. Tread wear is recorded in millimeters which is a measured variable; therefore, a range and mean chart should be developed. Let's take a look at the steps the manager must use to establish and analyze the control chart. First of all, he notes sample size = process variability is not known
The first step: calculate the range for each sample.
Tire 1 Tire 2 Tire 3 1 3.1 4.2 2.8 2 2.6 1.8 3.5 3 2.5 3.0 3.4 4 1.7 2.1 5 3.8 2.9 6 4.1 3.6 7 8 3.2 9 3.3 10 11 4.0 12 2.3 1.9 13 2.4 14 4.3 15 16 17 18 19 20 2.2 Range 1.4 1.7 0.9 0.8 0.6 1.2 1.3 1.5 2.6 1.1 Mean 2.1 3.4 3.6 2.4 3.2 2.5 The next step: calculate the mean for each sample. Then: calculate the grand (average) range for all samples. 1.14 Range Grand Then: calculate the grand (average) mean for all samples. Average Grand
3-Sigma Control Chart Table
Next we must determine the center line, upper and lower control limits for the range and mean chart which are calculated by very simple formula. There is only one formula for the range chart. However; there are two formulae for the mean chart. The one chosen is dependent up on whether the variability (standard deviation) of the process is . known . unknown The 3-simga control chart table is used to calculate these formulae.
3s Control Chart Settings
Range Chart (R Chart) The Range Chart measures the variability of a sample measurements in a process. The range chart must be interpreted first because the process variability must be in control before we can monitor whether a process is in or out of control. The Range Chart Centerline, UCL and LCL are calculated by the following formula. The Goodman Tire & Rubber Company range chart calculations are: 0.0000 LCL 1.1400 Centerline 2.9344 UCL 3s Control Chart Settings

Mean Chart ( Chart) - Known Variation
The Mean Chart measures the average of sample measurements in a process. When the variation of the process is known the 3-sigma table is not used. The Mean Chart Centerline, UCL and LCL (3 sigma limits) are calculated by the following when the variation of the process is known.
Mean Chart ( Chart) - Unknown Variation
The Mean Chart measures the average of sample measurements in a process. When the variation of the process is unknown the 3-sigma table is used. The Mean Chart Centerline, UCL and LCL are calculated by the following formula when the variation of the process is unknown. The Goodman Tire & Rubber Company mean chart calculations are: 1.7504 LCL 2.9167 Centerline 4.0829 UCL 3s Control Chart Settings

4. Return Range & Mean Chart Worksheet 3. Select Known or Unknown 2. Enter Data
5. Enter problem name then click OK
6. Choose the CC (Control Chart) menu item
7. Choose the Range control chart
Notice the range control chart shows the sample ranges Pattern Analysis for AB and UD indicate the patterns are random (YES) Therefore; the range chart indicates the variation of the process is in control
8. Choose the Mean Unknown Variation control chart
Notice the mean control chart shows the sample averages Pattern Analysis for AB and UD indicate the patterns are random (YES) Therefore; the mean chart indicates the average of the process is in control
Summary - Range & Mean Control Charts
Both charts are necessary to effectively monitor a process. The mean charts detect when a process mean is shifting The range charts detect when the process variability is changing. The range chart must be interpreted first. If the variability is not constant, the process is not in control.

P-Chart (Proportion Chart)
The P-Chart measures the proportions in a process. The Proportion Chart Centerline, UCL and LCL are calculated by the following formula.
Mail Sorting Automated mail sorting machines are used to sort mail by zip codes. These machines scan the zip codes and divert each letter to its proper carrier zone. Even when a machine is properly operating some mail is improperly diverted (a defective). Check the sorting machine here to see if it is in control.

Quantitative Variable Charts Qualitative Attribute Charts Range Charts Mean Charts P Charts C Charts
C-Chart (Defects Per Unit)
The C-Chart is used to monitor the number of defects per unit (e.g. automobiles, hotel rooms, typed pages, rolls of carpet). The C Chart Centerline, UCL and LCL are calculated by the following formula. In the event c is unknown, it can be estimated by sampling and computing the average defects observed. In this case the average can be substituted in the formula for Also, note that since the formula is an approximation the LCL can be negative. In these cases the LCL is set to 0.
Coiled Wire Example 5: Rolls of coiled wire are monitored using a c-chart. Eighteen rolls of wire have been examined and the number of defects per roll has been recorded in the data provided here. Is the process in control? Use 3 standard deviations for the control limits.

Coiled Wire The average number of defects per roll of coiled wire is 3s Control Chart Settings UCL 7.2434 Centerline 2.5000 LCL 0.0000 The sample number defects values are now plotted on the defects per unit control chart
C-chart Worksheet
Choose the Defects per unit (C) control chart
Notice the unit defective control chart shows the sample proportions. Pattern Analysis for AB and UD indicate the patterns are random (YES) Therefore; the C chart indicates the process is in control
Process Variability Process variability can significantly impact quality. Some commonly used terms refer to the variability of a process output. . Tolerances - specifications for the range of acceptable values established by engineering or customer specifications . Control limits - statistical limits that reflect the extent to which sample statistics such as means and ranges can vary due to randomness . Process variability - reflects the natural or inherent (e.g.random variability in a process. It is measured in terms of the process standard deviation. . Process capability - the inherent variability of process output relative to the variation allowed by the design specification. 3-sigma control is when the process performs within 3 standard deviations of the mean. 6-sigma control is when the process performs within 6 standard deviations of the mean.
Three Sigma and Six Sigma Quality
Product Lower specification Product Upper specification 1.35 ppt +/- 3 Sigma ppt – parts per thousand 1.7 ppm +/- 6 Sigma ppm – parts per million Process Mean
Process Capability Lower Specification Upper Specification
Process variability matches specifications Lower Specification Upper Specification Process variability well within specifications Lower Specification Upper Specification Process variability exceeds specifications
Process Capability - Example
Example 7: A manager has the option of using any one of the following three machines for a job. The machines and their standard deviations are listed below. Determine which machines are capable of doing the job if the specifications are 1.00mm to 1.60mm. The specifications indicate that the tolerance width is .6mm. (e.g – 1.00) 1.00mm - Lower specification Upper specification .60mm - tolerance width
Process Capability - Example
Process capability for 3-sigma control is deemed to be within 3 standard deviations of the mean. Therefore for this example the process capability is 6 * (standard deviation) shown in the table below. Therefore, Machine A & B are capable of meeting the specifications, Machine C is not.

Can you believe that is it that time again? Autumn is just around the corner! Orange leaves are falling off the trees... well if you were to look outside of my window right now that is not happening at all. In fact, the leaves are still green and the heat is still summery for some reason so I am going to have to bring autumn inside. I am taking on the Wayfair campaign #BringOutdoorsIn and showing you how I am getting ready for autumn.
For starters, I am replacing the blue pillows with the browns and orange pillowcases. I am not a huge fan of having just orange everywhere. So I like to stick with the browns and golden colours. A nice pop of pattern such as polka dots, it still gives me that touch of orange without having me feel like I am living inside of a pumpkin.
Recently, I have been working on DIY coasters. I took some very neat wooden leaves and transformed them into nifty stylish drink coasters. I had to give the wood a little colour by spraying a little champagne colour on it. Who says that all leaves have to be orange? Now my autumn drinks with be held by these beauties.
Another way that I am getting ready is by helping my little man get ready. We sat down and turned his hands into a tree this weekend. He had fun turning his fingers into branches and arm into a trunk. Even though I did the cutting, he turned into such a glue master that I was beginning to think he may not need my help anymore.
Those are my ways of getting ready for autumn. Very simple things that make the season a lot more fun. How are you bringing the outside inside this autumn? I wanna know! Share below.
I hope you have some time, I would love to hear from you. Leave a comment to say how much you enjoyed my post or even say hi, follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, Instagram page or even subscribe. I will do the same! Have a wonderfully creative week!

MDRS crew 142/148/149 cyanobacteria to fertilize Martian soil
The radish experiment has been going quite well, we've been watering them with the control media/soil and the cyanobacteria equivalent.
Took measurements and photos on the 15th (see below), and would like to take another timepoint, probably on the 20th to compare (delta growth), but then I think this experiment could be ended as some of the plants are starting to die and having trouble to growth without support. I added some little sticks and sewing thread to keep them straight but not sure how long it will last, therefore I propose to end the experiment on the 20th, place the plants in ziplock bags and send them back on staurday 21th to Cyprien Verseux at NASA ARC to weight them, quantify and maybe sample them.
We ran out of the real media so we switched to the provided water. As there will be too much water, I would like to request the leftover water of Cyprien to use it for our plant experiments.

These were recommended to me by my brother after he changed out his kitchen fixtures. He's pretty picky and shops around for the best price and bang for your buck, so I decided to take his advice and go for it. I just purchased a house a few months back and have been doing many renovations. Full remodel on 2 bathrooms, dining room and kitchen upgrades. I have installed these EVERYWHERE!!!!!! So far up to date I have installed 64 throughout every freaking room!!!! I can honestly say I can't stand lamps, cords etc etc.... Recessed lighting is the cleanest and most economical way to go, they are out of sight and out of mind. I have used these LED lights in every fixture, including inside both showers!!!! The gasket material and springs work very well to keep a tight seal and no moisture buildup whatsoever. I have a couple extra for just in case a problem arises but so far so good, not one problem. My ceiling cans range from 5" to 6", both old work and new construction as well as standard Edison socket and dedicated LED cans... Pretty much have tossed these LEDs in almost every recessed can type you can buy and not one problem experienced. Highly recommend installing a dimmer switch as I find I rarely ever find myself using them up to full brightness and might as well save a few pennies for Uncle Sam throughout the year. These are WARM lights, kind of a yellow but natural color tone to them. I have used DAYLIGHTERS in the past and find the blue hue just messes with your eyes and causes headaches... Literally headaches.... So all in all in the end... I highly recommend you buying the 2-Pack version if you can find them and save a couple of bucks along the way as it's cheaper than singles and even the 12-pack case version (which is odd to me) and that's my story.

The battle against Thrym began with Thrym's attack. Surviving the initial attacks, the fairies and Freyja managed to bring down Thrym's HP to two bars. However, after they survived a breath attack, Freyja approached Kirito and Leafa and requested them to find her family treasure, a golden hammer, hidden within the room, as they would not be able to defeat Thrym otherwise. Under Leafa's advice, Kirito used Lightning Fallto find the hammer hidden in the piles of treasure. Unexpectedly, once the hammer was returned to Freyja, she transformed into a giant man, the god of thunder, Thor. With Thrym's attention occupied with Thor, the fairies rushed to help Thor with their own attacks. Once Thrym's HP was nearly depleted, Thor finished Thrym off with his hammer. Before Thor took his leave, he rewarded Klein with a miniature replica of his hammer.

Columbus, Ohio Residential Exterior Painting
Does the exterior of your Columbus, Ohio area home need painting? Prim Painting is the only company you need to call. Plus, for a limited time only, we're offering 10% off on all exterior painting services! Contact us today for a free quote.
Painting or staining your house does more than improve the appearance; it helps extend the life of your investment by protecting the exterior surfaces from the elements. That's important because your home is one of your biggest investments. Paint acts as a shield from dust and debris, two things that can deteriorate your house.
Painting the outside of your home can drastically improve its appearance. Your house can go from being "just another home on the block" to a stunning home with great curb appeal. This project has a high return on investment, and can add thousands of dollars of value to your home.
Our professional painting contractors ensure the best results by:
- Carefully preparing the surface of your home to make sure the paint properly adheres
- Caulking where needed and covering unpainted areas and windows with plastic or paper
- Filling any holes or cracks and applying primer, when necessary, for added protection
We will select the appropriate paint or stain product to ensure optimal results. At the end of every day, our workers clean up the mess and discard any loose paint chips. Some painting companies leave a mess at the conclusion of the work day. Prim Painting believes cleaning up is part of the job.
Columbus, Ohio Home Exterior Painting
Our painting contractors are prepared to answer your questions about our products and processes. If, for some reason, we don't know the answer, we always know where to find it. We have established relationships with experts at the top paint brands in the business. This means you are always getting top-notch advice and work. We believe this separates us from the competition. Other painting companies may say they know what they are talking about; few have the kind of relationships we have to know the business as well as we do.
We also paint commercial office, warehouse, and apartment complex exteriors.
When you call Prim Painting, you'll always get a responsive, honest quote for the work that needs to be done. At the end of the day, our goal is to do the right thing—even if it means turning away work that doesn't match our expertise. We would never take on a project just for money; quality is always the most important thing for us.
For an exterior house painting company in Columbus, Ohio, contact Prim Painting at 614.686.PRIM (7746).

In a video released Sunday by al Qaeda, American hostage Warren Weinstein said he will be killed unless President Obama agrees to the militant group's demands.
"My life is in your hands, Mr. President," Weinstein said in the video. "If you accept the demands, I live; if you don't accept the demands, then I die."
Weinstein was abducted last August in Lahore, Pakistan, after gunmen tricked his guards and broke into his home. The 70-year-old from Rockville, Md., is the country director in Pakistan for J.E. Austin Associates, a Virginia-based firm that advises a range of Pakistani business and government sectors.
In a video message posted on militant websites in December, al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri said Weinstein would be released if the United States stopped air strikes in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen. He also demanded the release of all al Qaeda and Taliban suspects around the world.

Possibly as a result of listening to this song on repeat and looking out my office window to the scene above – I've been battling major depression for the past couple of weeks. Two things I did recently to improve my mood:
1. Climbed Mount Kearsarge on Saturday. Only two hours from my home and a decent 3 mile hike with great views of the surrounding mountains.
Our dog recently weighed in at a hefty 100 pounds so the diet and exercise program began on that day. He is a good hiking companion.
2. The other thing I did was earlier tonight I sang the song below while dancing with my girls. Man, this song is sure-fire depression cure. I can play it on the drums if someone can play along on the keyboard and sing. Shoot me an email.

Preparation is one of the most important stages in the entire trading process. In the same way as failing to warm up before a gym work-out can lead to injury, failing to prepare properly for a trading session can lead to unnecessary.
There are a number of methods that you can introduce into your daily routine to ensure you are always in an optimal trading state.
In this lesson, we will guide you through the preparation process, showing you how to create a daily prep sheet and trading plan and how to approachand analysis.
We will also show you ways to prepare yourself physically and mentally, to ensure that when you sit down at your trading terminal you are calm, comfortable and alert.
How to prepare for your trading day
To begin with, set aside around 60 minutes before each trading session to work through the following steps.
Once you have developed your own preparation routine this can be cut to 30 minutes or even less.
Step 1: Create the right physical and mental state
Getting yourself in the right physical and mental state for trading is an underestimated but crucial stage in your trading prep. The following pointers will help make sure you are alert and focused from the moment you sit down:
- Give yourself plenty of time: don't expect to be at your best for trading just ten minutes after you wake up – you'll still be groggy and will be prone to making mistakes.
- Dress for success: ditch that dirty t-shirt or dressing gown for something smart but comfortable. Surveys show that 55% of workers believe that smarter attire at work makes them perform better.
- Exercise: doing some light exercise – even if it's just a brisk walk around the garden to take some fresh air – will help you concentrate and improve your reactions.
- Fuel up: hunger and thirst make it harder to concentrate and can spoil your performance. So eat something light before you trade and make sure you're hydrated.
- Tidy up: working at a cluttered desk can make it harder to concentrate. Your daily trading plan (see below) should be in front of you at all times and you may miss a trading opportunity if you're searching for it.
Step 2: Create a daily trading plan
Your daily prep sheet or trading plan is a one-stop-shop including all the data you will require over the course of the day. This is how to make one:
- Take an A4 sheet of paper and turn it to the landscape position – human beings naturally look at things in wide screen and it will also fit easily between you and your keyboard.
- Limit it to one page and be concise – trading requires fast reactions so it's important that you can see everything at one glance.
- Date it – keeping dated copies of old prep sheets will help you evaluate how you are progressing as a trader.
- Draw two boxes and split them down the middle, top to bottom.
- Label the left-hand box as 'news/events and technical analysis/patterns'. Label the right-hand box as 'trade ideas'.
- Create a long, thin box at the bottom of the page.
- Label it 'other information' – you can fill this with any notes or observations you make throughout the day concerning your trades and conditions.

Step 3: Analyse the markets
Once your daily trading plan is created, you need to fill it. Use technical analysis, fundamental analysis or a combination of the two to identify whichyou think markets you will trade will move in; plus any key technical levels like and . Then note all of this down in the appropriate boxes.
This will help you find new trading opportunities and manage anythat are already open.
Fundamental analysis
Read the news and make a note on your daily prep sheet of anything that could impact on your trading day. This could includemeetings, economic data releases, geopolitical events or company news.
Once you know what to look for and where, this shouldn't take longer than five minutes.
Technical analysis
Take another ten minutes before you start trading to scan overand make a note on your daily prep sheet of any levels you plan to trade.
Note down your reason for placing the trade, your planned, entry level, placement and .
In this lesson you have learned that …
- … preparation is one of the most important stages in the trading process – failing to do it properly can lead to unnecessary losses.
- … preparing for your daily session will take around 60 minutes to begin with but can soon be cut to 30 minutes or less.
- … make sure you are well rested, fed, hydrated and dressed smartly but comfortably before you start trading – this will help you remain calm and speed up your responses.
- … make sure that your desk is tidy and you can see your daily trading plan at a glance.
- … a daily prep sheet should comprise just one piece of A4 paper, viewed in landscape mode.
- … date it and divide it into three boxes – one for news/events and technical analysis/patterns, a second for trade ideas and a third for other information.
- … conduct technical and/or fundamental analysis on the markets you plan to trade and make notes on your prep sheet – this will help you find new trading opportunities and manage existing positions.
- … for fundamental analysis you should scan the news for central bank meetings, economic data releases, geopolitical events or company news and note which could affect your trading day.
- … for technical analysis you should scan charts and make a note of any key levels that you plan to trade, plus details as such your anticipated entry levels, targets and stop losses.

Beijing to start selling off state-owned enterprises
Beijing city will start selling off its state-owned enterprises en masse next month, according to the agent responsible for the auction.
Forty medium and small state-owned enterprises would be put up for sale, China News Service quoted an auction house in Beijing as saying yesterday.
The enterprises, covering electronics, chemicals, food processing and tourism, have combined assets estimated at 400 million yuan (HK$372 million). The sale will include their land but not their liabilities and staff, indicating that the new owners will not be responsible for old debts or compensating workers.
Many cities have started to sell off inefficient state-owned enterprises since the Communist Party concluded its 15th Congress last month, when party leaders decided the state would promote shareholding and allow more enterprises to go bankrupt.
Last week, auctioneers in Guangzhou sold a bankrupt camera factory.

Accidents are the major cause of all household insurance claims in Britain at 48 per cent. But in East Anglia the figure rises to 57 per cent, way above the average. It is the second year running that East Anglia has topped the league.
NatWest's annual analysis of its own claims data for 1998-99, accumulated from more than 360,000 policy holders, suggests that butter-fingered Brits have more to fear from their own clumsiness than from crime or the weather.
The most common mishaps are damage to bathroom fittings such as toilets and wash basins. Unfortunately, NatWest does not go into how people actually damage their toilets, only the insurance claims they make as a result.
Other "accident blackspots" include breakage of glass, spilling red wine over pale carpets, dropping the TV and hi-fi, soiling by pets, damage by over-energetic children and decorating disasters.
Reading NatWest's report it seems a wonder that any houses are still standing after their occupants have got to work on them. In contrast crime, much in the news at the moment, accounts for only 22 per cent of the nation's insurance claims.
London is the UK's worst affected area with 29 per cent of all insurance claims made for theft from buildings, cars or individuals. Northern Ireland is Britain's safest place from theft with just 8 per cent of claims in the region made for robbery.
When it comes to that great British pastime of talking about the weather, NatWest's findings show that the elements account for only 15 per cent of insurance claims nationally.
Northern Ireland and Scotland bear the brunt of the gales and rainstorms, with 45 per cent and 33 per cent respectively, while London gets off lightly with just 7 per cent.
Some of the claims submitted to NatWest's insurance division have startled even the most hardened staff. Below are some of the answers to the question: "Please state how the loss or damage occurred."
"My husband has a habit of leaving false teeth on my side of the bed. I have moaned for years [that he should] cover them up. Alas, unknown to me he wrapped them in tissue. I got up and saw a dirty tissue so I flushed it down the loo."
"Following a party a friend staying with us urinated over my computer. Not sure if this is classified as water damage."
"Burglary, entry gained through backside."
"Labrador puppy ate my glasses while we were sleeping."
"Damage to TV: I have now left this TV with the repairer as it is of no use to me in its present state. However, I must say it improves your marriage not to have a TV in the lounge."

Should you focus taxation on wealth or on income? It is a question raised by the Lib Dems' "Mansion Tax", intended to raise funds to cut income tax at the bottom of the scale. Though the plan has been modified with the threshold increased from £1 million to £2 million – they clearly don't want to lose too many votes in leafy South West London – the issue remains a hot one.
The issue is hot not because this particular wheeze is going to happen but rather because we are about to go though the greatest squeeze on public spending that will ever have occurred in peacetime, coupled inevitably with some increases in taxes. That is not politics; it is arithmetic.
We have the largest fiscal deficit relative to the size of our economy of any large country in the entire world, developed and emerging nations alike. If it were not tackled we would find our debt downgraded and long-term interest rates rising. As the investment bank Morgan Stanley has just warned its clients, Britain is the first of the major economies to risk flight of capital and a full-blown debt crisis over coming months were sufficient action to correct the deficit not taken.
The UK is not alone in having such a problem; it just has a more serious version than anyone else. Countries in less of a mess are also taking action – France announced a plan yesterday to cut its deficit to 3 per cent of GDP by 2013 – and that will put more pressure on us.
The trouble is correcting the deficit will pitch people against people. There is no nice way to do it. As the Lib Dems suggest, most of the adjustment will have to come in the form of spending cuts and that will heighten the tension between the public sector and the private sector. But some will have to come in higher taxation. That will pitch people in London and the South East against people in the North and in Scotland and Wales. It will pitch young against old and working people against retirees. And inevitably it will pitch the wealthy against, not so much the poor, but the middle-earners. We have already seen some hostility against high-earners, particularly in the financial services industry but also in other parts of the economy, including Parliament itself. We will, I am afraid, experience much more of it.
The core of the problem is that we require taxation to do different things. Of course it has, first and foremost, to raise revenue, but it has to do so at the lowest possible cost. There is no pointing bringing in a tax that costs almost as much to administer as it takes in revenue. A good, or maybe bad, example of an inefficient tax is Inheritance Tax, where about one third of the revenue raised is absorbed by the cost of collection. The London congestion charge is similarly inefficient.
Taxes should also, in the main, distort the economy as little as possible. You don't want a tax that hits one bit of the economy at the expense of another. A prime example of that was the Selective Employment Tax in the 1960s, which put an extra tax on employment in service industries but not on manufacturing. It was abandoned as unworkable but not before all sorts of arguments as to what was a service and what was not. Newspapers, you will be pleased to know, were and are manufacturing as we produce a physical product. If you want to support British manufacturers hang in there.
Then there is fairness. We all want a fairer world, and the core idea of a progressive taxation system is that it should compensate for inequalities of income and wealth. It does so on a massive scale. Here in Britain the top 1 per cent of earners pay nearly a quarter of income tax, while the top 10 per cent pay half of it. Indeed the increase in the top tax rate to 50 per cent may make the tax system less progressive, not more, for it seems likely to cut the revenues from high earners, rather than increase them. We cannot know for sure but the Institute for Fiscal Studies reckons the higher rate will make no difference to revenues. It seems that once income tax rates approach 50 per cent people make adjustments to their lifestyle – they move abroad, work fewer hours, retire earlier – and the net result is a reduction of tax paid. Fairness, even if we could agree on what it constitutes, is hard to achieve.
There is the conflict between targeting and complexity. You do ideally want taxation to be targeted: to take into account different people's circumstances and adjust for that. Gordon Brown, while Chancellor, went down the targeting route, with all those announcements of small amounts of money being spent on new "initiatives" and the much more substantial tax credit system. We now can see that the initiatives had little impact, while the tax credit system – a good idea in theory – was too complicated to be administered effectively. As a result billions have been wasted.
There are further problems. Tax systems have to be competitive at a company level or companies move their headquarters, maybe even their entire operation, to another country. Tax is not the only issue of course; availability of skilled labour, wage rates and so on matter too. Like many people I don't have a lot of time for companies, or indeed people, who bleat about moving abroad and then don't. But plainly, if a company does move its headquarters it will be hard to get it back. And it does not make much sense to give some foreign company a grant to build a factory in the UK at the same time as pushing our own companies to move offshore. As for people moving, ask yourself why so many of our top sportsmen and women live in Switzerland or Monaco – or why so many rich Swedes live in the Home Counties. Human capital is mobile and the more people earn the more mobile they are.
One apparent virtue of the Liberal's mansion tax is that you cannot move a house but ponder what might actually happen were it to be introduced. There would certainly be a plunge in top-end house prices. People would split large houses into two flats, as they have in the past, and maybe give part to their children. Or they would not trade up in the UK but buy a property abroad. Or they would simply spend less on their home and more on holidays. Not so bright after all.
Ultimately taxation has to be by consent. It has to be accepted as fair not just by the broad mass of the electorate but by the people who pay it. That requires a better-crafted tax system, one that is simple and straightforward. That is the mountain the next government will have to climb.

ERCOT Update on UFLS Annual Survey with TSP/DSP September 2014
2 ERCOT coordinated and conducted an annual survey on May 13, 2014 with the TSPs and DSPs to ensure that the required automatic under-frequency load shed circuits were configured to provide the appropriate load relief in an under-frequency event as required by table below from Operating Guides 2.6.1(1) Requirements for Under-Frequency Load Shedding: Background on UFLS Survey Requirement
3 Below is a list of dates and activities reflecting the timeline and coordination of this survey: 04/23/2014 - ERCOT announcement of survey timeline and effort to OWG 04/10/2014 - ERCOT email notification sent by Client Services to TSP/DSP Authorized Representatives 05/13/2014 - Survey test day 06/13/2014 - Survey results due back to ERCOT September/October- Results compiled and being reported to OWG/ROS/TAC Results of UFLS Survey Requirement
4 The results of the requirement were successful and are reflected below: Execution of UFLS Survey Requirement Frequency response block Minimum Requirement Survey measurement Block 1 response at 59.35%6.7% Block 2 response at 58.9 10%11.3% Block 3 response at 58.5 10%11.8% Total25%29.8% ERCOT Reliability and Compliance contacted several participants to request that the 5%, 10%, 10% breakdown be adhered to, if possible. Some participants met the 25% total but had more load in the 5% or one of the 10% brackets and not quite 10% in the other bracket
5 Execution of UFLS Survey Requirement The survey submitted by the participants indicated that they all could meet the 25% minimum requirement. Some participants met the cumulative 25% total by having more load in one bracket but not the minimum amount in another bracket. The load was reallocated to different relays to meet this minimal requirement of at least 5%, 10%, 10% in each bracket.
