Sample Mean Range Sample | Mean | Range | 1 | 7.2 | 0.7 | 2 | 7.6 | 1 | 3 | 7.1 | 1.4 | 4 | 7.8 | 1.1 | 5 | 7.8 | 0.6 | 6 | 7.5 | 1.2 | _ a. Calculate the 3 X-chart and R-chart control limits. X bar = Average (Mean) = (7.2+7.6+7.1+7.8+7.8+7.5) / 6 = 7.50 Avge Range R bar = Avge (Range) = (0.7+1+1.4+1.1+0.6+1.2) / 6 = 1.00 Using Constant Table, we find the value of A2 for Subgroup of n=6 as A2 = 0.483 Now Upper control Limit UCL(X) = X + A2*R = 7.50+0.483*1 = 7.983 & Lower control Limit LCL(X) = X - A2*R = 7.50 - 0.483*1 = 7.017 Now we calculate the Upper Control Limit for Range. Recall that when n <7, LCL( R) = 0. Here n=6. So LCL(R) =0 & UCL (R ) = D4*R Looking up Contant Table, we find for n=6, D4 = 2.282 So UCL (R ) = D4*R = 2.282*1 = 2.282 b. Calculate the mean (X) and range (R) for the following sample, which was taken from the same process at a later time. Item number: 1 2 3 4 5 Weight: 7.5 8.0 8.2 7.5 7.4 Mean (X) = Avge(Weights) = (7.5+8.0+8.2+7.5+7.4) / 5 = 7.72 Range (X) = Highest Value of Weight – Lowest value of weight = 8.2-7.4 = 0.8 Based on this sample and the control chart limits that you calculated in part (a), is the process in control? Why or why not? Based on X & R UCL & LCL found in (a ), we can say that Process is in Control. This is because, all Mean of samples
