Quality Engineering question
What is Statistical Process Control? With what purpose is it used for? Please explain breifly with an example.
Please answer in your own words.
One of the stages in the process of making denim cloth at the Southern Mills Company is to spin cotton yarn onto spindles for subsequent use in the weaving process. Occasionally the yarn breaks during the spinning process, and an operator ties it back together. Some number of breaks is considered normal; however, too many breaks may mean that the yarn is of poor quality. In order to monitor this process, the quality-control manager randomly selects a spinning machine each hour and checks the number of breaks during a 15-minute period. Following is a summary of the observations for the past 20 hours.
Construct a c-chart using 3 limits for this process and indicate if the process was out of control at any time.
Quality control in a factory pulls 40 parts with paint, packaging, or electronic defects from anassembly line. Of these, 28 had a paint defect, 17 had a packaging defect, 13 had an electronicdefect, 6 had both paint and packaging defects, 7 had both packaging and electronics defects, and 10had both paint and electronic defects. Did any part have all three types of defect? If so, how many?

- West Battery Corp. has recently been receiving complaints from retailers that its 9-volt batteries are not lasting as long as other name brands. James West, head of the TQM program at West's Austin plant, believes there is no problem because his batteries have had an average life of 60hours, about 10% longer than competitors' models. To raise the lifetime above this level would require a new level of technology not available to West. Nevertheless, he is concerned enough to set up hourly assembly line checks. Previously, after ensuring that the process was running properly, West took samples of 5 9-volt batteries for 25 test to establish the standards for control chart limits. Those 25 tests are shown in the following table: Sample Data Sample Data Hour Sample Taken 1 2 3 4…arrow_forwardQuality Engineering question Why is decreasing variability so important during data collection and sampling?

Thank youarrow_forwardQuality Control of Doughnuts: The Hudson Valley Bakery makes doughnuts that are packaged in boxes with labels stating that there are 12 doughnuts weighing a total of 42 oz. If the variation among the doughnuts is too large, some boxes will be underweight (cheating consumers) and others will be overweight (lowering profit). A consumer would not be happy with a doughnut so small that it can be seen only with an electron microscope, nor would a consumer be happy with a doughnut so large that it resembles a tractor tire. The quality-control supervisor has found that he can stay out of trouble if the doughnuts have a mean of 3.50 oz. and a standard deviation of 0.06 oz. or less. Twelve doughnuts are randomly selected from the production line and weighed, with the result given here (in ounces). 3.43 3.37 3.58 3.50 3.68 3.61 3.42 3.52 3.66 3.50 3.36 3.42 Construct a 95% confidence interval for σ, and then determine whether the quality-control…arrow_forward

Hyundai cars ranked 26th out of 35 car brands in terms of initial car quality as measured by the influential J.D. Power Initial Car Quality survey.

So he sent a visible, meaningful message that poor quality would no longer be tolerated. During one plant visit, Chung demanded to see under the hood of a car on the production line.
