Quincunx
Quincunx Simulator
This spreadsheet simulates a mechanical Quincunx. The Quincunx is
a powerful teaching aid that can be used to fully understand Process
Capability studies by simulating a production process. Red beads are
the container allows one bead to be dropped into the Quincunx. The
bead falls left or right over the pins, randomizing the drop. The bead
then falls into a bin at the bottom of the page, accumulating in a
Histogram showing the full range of variation of the process.

variation can be adjusted using the
spinners - Data is recorded in a single column
suitable for pasting into any Process
Capability spreadsheet. - A run chart at the bottom of the page
