It can be costly and stressful to learn about out-of-control processes late or to react to them with incomplete information. If you are one of the tens of thousands of JMP users working with control charts, you don't want to miss this talk. It gives you an updated look at a much-requested JMP Live 19 feature (now improved in JMP Live 19.5)  that can help you find and resolve issues more quickly, more accurately, and more confidently.

In the latest version, you can communicate with your colleagues, not just about a control chart but about an individual warning:

  • “It’s being dealt with.” (Status)

  • “Here’s who is responsible for it.” (Assignment)

  • “Here’s what we think is going on.” (Notes)

Review and download detailed information about the warnings and the decisions made about them, as well as focus your efforts by tracking the overall triage progress of your control chart. Browse and filter control charts based on whether they “need attention," are “under investigation,” or are “fully addressed.” You can also set up notifications so that you only receive them from charts that still urgently “need attention.” The improvements help you stay top of the warnings that are assigned to you for investigation.

 

 

Hello, I'm Aurora Tiffany-Davis, one of the developers who works on the Warnings Triage feature in JMP Live. I'm going to talk about what's new in the triage feature in JMP Live version 19.5, and I'll also share some tips and tricks. Before I get started, I'd like to do a quick background on the triage feature in JMP Live.

JMP Live does not attempt to maintain a deep statistical knowledge about control chart warnings. We leave that to JMP. JMP Live's job is to help you collaborate on those warnings with your colleagues, ultimately to make finding and fixing issues in your processes faster and easier. To that end, JMP Live provides notifications about control chart warnings in your processes.

It provides the ability to browse and filter processes to find those that most urgently need your attention. The ability to browse and filter individual warnings, the ability to triage warnings, of course, that's the core of the feature, and the ability to download various information about warnings.

What's new in this feature in 19.5? One of the things that's new is that you can now assign warnings more freely. Previously, when you triaged a warning in JMP Live, you could only assign that warning to your colleague if your colleague had access to the report on JMP Live.

That sounds like it makes perfect sense. Why would we change this? Well, our thinking is this, if you know who the correct person to investigate a warning is, you want to assign the warning to that person directly without thinking about their access. You don't want to assign it to some other person who's good enough just because they have more access.

If you assign it to the correct person, and they find out, "I can't see this report," well, okay, now they know that there's a report out there that they really need to get access to. Another thing that's new in 19.5 is that we now notify an assignee when a warning moves backwards. What does that mean? We have this idea of an order to the triage statuses.

Ideally, a warning would move from the open status to investigating to addressed. If you're the person responsible for a warning and somebody moves it backwards in status, you now get a notification showing you the notes that were made when it was moved backwards. Another thing that's new in 19.5 is that you can now download a history of all of the warnings in a report in a single operation.

Now, you already had the ability to download the history of one warning in a report, and you had the ability to download the current state of all the warnings in a report. Now you have a third option that kind of combines those, and that's the ability to download the history of all the warnings in a report.

Okay, let's move on to some tips and tricks. The first one, and this is an important one, is to define Static Control Limits. Until you define Static Control Limits, your chart will be using the control limits that were calculated by JMP based on your data. As you get more and more data in, those calculated limits could change. They could widen or narrow.

When those limits widen or narrow, you could have warnings appear or disappear, even in your historical data. That scenario that I'm describing is a little bit unstable, and so it doesn't work very well with the JMP Live triage feature, which is a feature intended to help you communicate really clearly with your colleagues about known problems.

Because of this instability, JMP Live enables the triage feature for a report only when that report has Static Control Limits defined.

Okay, so how do you define Static Control Limits? There are three ways to do this. The first is in your data table. In the column that you're monitoring, you can open up the Column Info, go to the Control Limits column properties, and type in control limits for the chart of interest. In the screenshot here, the chart of interest is the individual measurement chart.

The second way that you can define Static Control Limits is in a separate limits table. There's a really easy way to create a separate limits table directly from your chart in JMP. You can go to Limits, Save Control Limits in New Table. What that will do is it will create you a limits table based on those limits that are calculated by JMP based on your data.

Then you can go into that limits table and tweak those limits to be the ones that you know are appropriate for your process going forward. The third way to define Static Control Limits is in JSL. Okay, let me take a look at some more tips and tricks.

One is a handy feature that's called Set Last N Subgroups. What is this for? Let's say that you have a lot of historical data about your process, but you don't want to see all of that historical data every time you look at your chart.

You just want to see the Last N Subgroups. So this Set Last N Subgroups feature leaves all your historical data in place, but it just shows you the window that you want to see, and that window automatically slides forward as new data comes in.

This is a handy feature generally, and it's specifically really helpful on JMP Live when you're doing triage because the alternative approach would be to delete your historical data. When you do that, you could impact warnings that JMP Live is keeping track of for you. You can set the Last N Subgroups in JMP interactively right from your chart, or you can set it in JSL.

Another tip is that you can edit your report script directly on JMP Live. I've mentioned JSL twice already in this short talk. First, because it's one of the ways that you can define Static Control Limits. Again, I mentioned it because it's one of the ways that you can set Last N Subgroups.

So if you want to apply these tweaks or any other tweaks to your control chart, you can do that directly in JMP Live, assuming that you have the right permissions on the report.

If you do, you'll see a script tab over on the left. If you click that script button, you'll see the script that your report is based on. You can edit that script right here on JMP Live, click Save, and then click the Regenerate button, and that's going to regenerate your report based on the script edits that you've made.

We also have a View Original Script option in case you want to go back to a clean state. Another tip is to assign warnings to groups. This is a small thing, but just remember, when you're triaging a warning, you have the ability to assign that warning not only to an individual user, but, if you prefer, you can also assign that warning to a group of users.

In this case, a group of users called Chemical Engineering. Another tip is Multi-triage. Let's say that your scheduled data refresh took place last night. When you come in this morning, you see that you have three new warnings.

Let's say that based on your domain knowledge and the kind of warnings they are, you think it's very, very likely that these three new warnings share a root cause. In that case, maybe you want to assign all of these warnings to the same user with the same notes.

You can do that in JMP Live by drawing a box around those warnings in your chart, right-clicking, and then selecting Triage to do them all at once. The last tip that I have for you in this short talk is just to not miss out on the flexibility of the warnings list on the homepage. This warnings list, by default, shows you those warnings that are assigned to you and that aren't addressed yet.

In that way, it serves as your own personal to-do list. But by changing the assignee, you could also see, for example, warnings that are assigned to your colleague who's on vacation this week, and maybe you're supposed to be covering for them. Or, you could change the assignee to see those warnings that are not yet assigned to anybody. Maybe it's your job to get them assigned. Or, by changing the status filter, you could see warnings that are addressed in case you want to review what you and your colleagues have accomplished. This is a really flexible list. Play around with it and see what it can do for you.

Okay, that was What's New in Warnings Triage in JMP Live 19.5 and Other Tricks.

Thank you for watching.
