- Control charts for X-bar and R, using a subgroup size of 5, are to be applied to control thecritical dimension of a certain manufacturing process. Specifications call for a nominal dimension of1,250.000 + 0.050 mm. The process is believed to have a σ of 0.015 mm Determine appropriate control limits for the X-bar and R charts. a) After 12 subgroups have been drawn and X-bar and R plotted on the charts, a computation of X-double bar give 1,250.015. b1) What is the probability that a value of X-bar will fall within the limits if this is the true value of the mean setting? b2) What is the probability that all 12values fall within the control limits? b) Make the necessary calculations to determine if the process can meet specifications by solvingfor Cp, Cpu, CpL, Cpk . Assume a normal distribution of product output. Illustrate how the processwould look like relative to the result of the computations of the process capability analysis.arrow_forwardA process considered to be in control measures an ingredient in ounces. Roberto Baggio, a quality inspector took 20 samples, each with 8 observations as follows: thats in the pictuer after that using this information, obtain three-sigma (i.e., z=3) control limits for a mean control chart and control limits for a range chart, respectively. It is known from previous experience that the standard deviation of the process is 0.693. First: perform all actions and calculations needed to answer the question. All equations/calculations needed to be fully written STEP by STEP. No short calculations or direct answers/results will be accepted. This applies to the calculations for both types of control limits (mean and range). Second: Explain the process followed to identify each type of control limit and any observations made in the problem-solving process. thank you very mucharrow_forwardYour supervisor, Lisa Lehmann, has asked that you report on the output of a machine on the factory floor.

- Specifications for a metal shaft are much wider than the machine used to make the shafts is capableof. Consequently, the decision has been made to allow the cutting tool to wear a certain amountbefore replacement. The tool wears at the rate of .004 centimeter per piece. The process has a naturalvariation, σ, of .02 centimeter and is normally distributed. Specifications are 15.0 to 15.2 centimeters.A three-sigma cushion is set at each end to minimize the risk of output outside of the specifications.How many shafts can the process turn out before tool replacement becomes necessary?arrow_forwardWhat is the significance of the order of observation in process control?arrow_forwardYou work for Raider Data Systems where thousands of insurance records are entered by clerks each day for a variety of client firms.
