(a)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: a control chart for evaluating mean and range is to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

A control chart is used to find out the defects in the constant sample size. Control chart is generally used when it become difficult to detect the actual number of defects.

(b)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: the value of the sample size through 16 to 25 are to be plotted on the basis of solution emerged in part a and deciding whether the process is in control.

Concept Introduction:

A control chart is used to find out the defects in the constant sample size. Control chart is generally used when it become difficult to detect the actual number of defects.

(c)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: If the process in part b, is not in control, whether it will be included in the mean as increase in the variability or both is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

From the above calculations it has been concluded that the means of the process is not in control.

Process Capability (Cpk and Cp) The operations manager of an insurance claimsprocessing department wants to determine the claims-processing capability. Claims usually take a minimum of four days to handle. The company has a commitment to handle all claims within 10 days. On average, claims are processed in eight days and processing has a standard deviation of one day.a. Compute Cp and Cpk for the claims-processing department. Based on these computations, should the claims department improve its process?b. Using the same data, recompute Cpk, but use an average claims-processing time of seven days instead of eight days.c. Using the original data, recompute Cpk, but use a standard deviation of 2/3 of a day. Which change made the most improvement—the change in mean in part b or the change in standard deviation? Can you explain the results?
Given the following list of processes, the standard deviation for each, and specifications for a jobthat may be processed on that machine, determine which machines are capable of performing thegiven jobs.Process Standard Deviation (in.)

15-19 A new president at Big State University has made student satisfaction with the enrollment and registration process one of her highest priorities. Students must see an advisor, sign up for classes, obtain a parking permit, pay tuition and fees, and buy textbooks and other supplies. During one registration period, 10 students every hour are sampled and asked about satisfaction with each of these areas. Twelve different groups of students were sampled, and the number in each group who had at least one complaint is as follows: 0, 2, 1, 0, 0, 1, 3, 0, 1, 2, 2, 0. Develop upper and lower control limits (99.7%) for the proportion of students with complaints.
