Chapter 3, Problem 11P
Summary Introduction
Case Summary: In Gr’s Garage, the proportion of average number of customers who comes back again for the same fault is 0.10, during the warranty period of 30 days. Every month, 100 customers are tracked by Gr, in order to find out whether they are returning for same repair works during the warranty period and the same is plotted as proportion to report progress against goal. By setting the control limits on both sides of goal, at two standard deviations, the control limit for the chart needs to be determined. From the sample group 8 customers out of 100, has returned for repairs, for which the repair process is under control or not, needs to be assessed.
Interpretation: The standard deviation gives information as to how various values are spread out when compared to the mean value.

Garcia's Garage desires to create some colorful charts and graphs to illustrate how reliably its mechanics "get under the hood and fix the problem." The historic average for the proportion of customers that return for the same repair within the 30-day warranty period is 0.12 Each month, Garcia tracks 70 customers to see whether they return for warranty repairs. The results are plotted as a proportion to report progress toward the goal. If the control limits are to be set at twostandard deviations on either side of the goal, determine the control limits for this chart. In March, 5 of the 70 customers in the sample group returned for warranty repairs. Is the repair process in control?

- Cost-of-Quality (COQ) Reporting; Spreadsheet Application Carrie Lee, the president of LeeEnterprises, was concerned about the results of her company’s new quality control efforts. “Maybethe emphasis we’ve placed on upgrading our quality control system will pay off in the long run, butit doesn’t seem to be helping us much right now. I thought improved quality would give a real boostto sales, but sales have remained flat at about $10,000,000 for the last 2 years.”Lee Enterprises has seen its market share decline in recent years because of increased foreigncompetition. An intensive effort to strengthen the quality control system was initiated a year ago (onJanuary 1, 2020) in the hope that better quality would strengthen the company’s competitive position and reduce warranty and servicing costs.

- (CO 3) The soup produced by a company has a salt level that is normally distributed with a mean of 5.4 grams and a standard deviation of 0.3 grams. The company takes readings of every 10th bar off the production line. The reading points are 5.8, 5.9, 4.9, 5.2, 5.0, 4.9, 6.2, 5.1, 6.7, 6.1. Is the process in control or out of control and why? Group of answer choices It is out of control as one of these data points is more than 3 standard deviations from the mean It is in control as the data points more than 2 standard deviations from the mean are far apart It is in control as the values jump above and below the mean It is out of control as two of these data points are more than 2 standard deviations from the meanarrow_forwardwhat types of error are attached in statistical process control? define and draw example.
