The steel cast parts production technology by the lost-wax method requires the detailed work procedures observation. On the base of statistical processing data of given types of casting products, it was possible to assess the significance of each particular checking events by using the statistical hypothesis testing. The attention was focused on wax and ceramic departments. The data in technological flow were compared before and after the implementation of the change and statistical confirmative influences were assessed. The target consisted in setting such control manners in order to get the right conditions for decreasing poor quality parts. It was evidenced that the cast part defect cause correct identification and interpretation is important.}, type={Article}, title={Some Possibilities of Using Statistical Methods While Solving Poor Quality Production}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/118986/PDF/AFE%201_2021_03.pdf}, doi={10.24425/afe.2021.136073}, keywords={Poor quality, Statistical hypothesis, Production process, Investment casting, Wax pattern}, }
