Second generation Computers

Limitation of those computers

Who is who ? : Inventors

Second generation 1956-1963• Transistors replaced vacuum

tubes

• A device composed of semiconductor material that amplifies a signal or opens or closes a circuit.

• Invented at Bell Labs, transistors have become the key ingredient of all digital circuits, including computers

Second generation 1956-1963Advantages • was far superior to the vacuum tube, • allowing computers to become

smaller, faster, cheaper, more energy-efficient

• more reliable than their first-generation predecessors.

• High-level programming languages were also being developed at this time, such as COBOL and FORTRAN

• Stores memory, which moved from a magnetic drum to magnetic core technology.

Limitation

• generated a great deal of heat that subjected the computer to damage

• Second-generation computers still relied on punched cards for input and printouts for output

Next Issue – Third Generation of computer – Integrated circuits

QWERTY Keyboard Christopher Sholes

Interesting Questions&

Answers

My understanding is “‘count’ based data is Qualitative in nature”– please clarify.

Mr.V M Ramachandran of Sri Ganesh Ram Enterprises, Chennai

During S P C workshop

Qualitative are more of ‘Information’ only, a perception based status. An example would be,

‘Good machine’. It has NO numbers and hence, can not be treated as a data.

It is perfectly perception based and hence ‘Qualitative’ in nature.

When we have Numbers in it, then it becomes ‘Quantitative’.

What will be the ‘n’ for the X-MR chart ( Individual Moving Range Chart “ ?

Mr. Diwakar, Krysalis, Chennai

During S P C workshop

It is 2, always. The very important point is, when we pick up the Constant D4, we have to refer

the constant value for the Sample size 2 only. Many people miss it !

Why Quality Management System for automotives is called TS ?

Mr.Rajive kumar of Preethi Home appliances, Chennai

During FMEA workshop

The Working Committee of International Organization for Standardization ( of Geneva ) will

prepare Drafts ( of Standards ) first.

The draft will be sent for a Voting then ! ( Voting, with out any influences from any Politicians,

for a Change !!! )

The members will vote and at the end,

If the Draft won 75 % and above, it will be called as a STANDARD – directly.

If the Votes are more than 66 % but less than 75 %, then it will be released as ISO / TS

( Technical Specification )

If the votes are more than 50 % and less than 66 %, then the same will be identified as

ISO / PAS ( Publicly Available Specification ).

Any draft, got votes less than 50 % are not considered at all.

The status will be reviewed once in 3 years by the ISO committee.

If we wish to arrive at UCL & LCL for the Process control charts, how manySamples are required ? What is the ideal procedure for Bulk production ?

Mr. R Pradeep Kink of ELGI Equipments, Coimbatore

During QC tools workshop

The ideal practice is to –

1. Collect 125 samples –with out any adjustments.

2. Plot them in a Process Control chart ( Say X bar R chart )

3. Let’s remember, the Chart will not have any Control limits, as we are yet to capture the

same.

4. Ensure Process stability, by looking at the Patterns ( No Non-random Patters permitted )

5. Calculate Control limits, with Average of Ranges observed., by applying the formulae.

6. The ‘n’ shall be 5 &

7. The ‘m’ shall be 21 minimum for all Statistical analysis.

We shall go by Homogenization way also, which is acceptable. No change in the Sample

sizes, compared to the last method.

Are the costs related to Design improvements considered as ‘PreventionCost’ ?

Mr. R Pandurangan of TAFE, Madurai

During FMEA project review

Generally ‘yes’. Whereas , when a Field complaint is analyzed and improved through a

Product Design solution, it is more of a Failure cost only.

Good question !

Can we conduct M S A Studies, before PPAP run ?

Mr. Abhishek of Eicher, Bhopal

During APQP workshop

Quite possible.

For the Bias or Linearity studies, we need only 20 samples maximum. They shall be taken

from the Pre-launch production itself.

Only for the Attribute GRR study, we require more samples.- which shall be done during PPAP

study time.
