a

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:The value ofa for the control chart is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:Control charts are used to measure the effectiveness of the process determining the average value and control limits of the process. The Upper Control Limit (UCL) is the larger value and the Lower Control limit (LCL) is the smaller value of the sample. These limits gives a range to the data available.

b

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:The value of UCL and LCL based on three − sigma limits are to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:Control charts are used to measure the effectiveness of the process determining the average value and control limits of the process. The Upper Control Limit (UCL) is the larger value and the Lower Control limit (LCL) is the smaller value of the sample

c

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:The probability that the shift is detected on the first subgroup after the shift has occurred is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:Control charts are used to measure the effectiveness of the process determining the average value and control limits of the process. The Upper Control Limit (UCL) is the larger value and the Lower Control limit (LCL) is the smaller value of the sample

At Webster Chemical, lumps in the caulking compound could cause difficulties in dispensing a smooth bead from the tube. Even when the process is in control, there will still be an average of 4 lumps per tube of caulk. Testing for the presence of lumps destroys the product, so Webster takes random samples. The table below shows the results of the study. Determine the two-sigma upper and lower control limits for this process. Tube # Lumps   Tube # Lumps   Tube # Lumps   1 6   5 6   9 5   2 5   6 4   10 0   3 0   7 1   11 9   4 4   8 6   12 2
A manufacturer is selling pharmaceuticals that have a weight specification 199.8 to 200.2 mg, with a target value of 200 mg. Before sending its next shipment, the company collects a large sample of product and determines the mean weight of the sample is 199.89 mg, with a standard deviation of 0.035 mg. The process capability index for the current process is ____. Round to three decimal places.
An automatic filling machine is used to fill 1-liter bottles of cola. The machine’s output is approximately normal with a mean of 1.0 liter and a standard deviation of .01 liter. Output is monitoredusing means of samples of 25 observations.a. Determine upper and lower control limits that will include roughly 97 percent of the samplemeans when the process is in control.b. Given these sample means: 1.005, 1.001, .998, 1.002, .995, and .999, is the process in control?
