Solution: Exhibit 1 and 2 shows the X̅-chart and R-chart with a plot of all sample means and ranges of the samples. All the points are well within the control limits, although sample 24 is close to the X̅ lower control limit and samples 17 through 22 are above the target. 3. Twelve additional samples of curetimes data from the molding process were collected from an actual production run. The data from these new samples are shown before. Update your control charts and compare the results with the

Question 2: Welz Case To advance work process and attain Six Sigma, the frames of iterations are Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. Six sigma is most prevailing problem solving system which mostly has a data related analytical approach (Hans Skalle, 2013). 1. Define: The main objective of the define stage is to concentrate the change exertion on the right issue and set clear range of quantifiable improvements. As the term goes, it basically defines the problem or the issue in the system

that quality is expected throughout a product 's life cycle and not just during production. Ishikawa was honored with the Deming, Nihon Keizai Press and Industrial Standardization prizes and the Grant Award from the American Society for Quality Control. (Beckford, John. Quality: A Critical Introduction, p 121.) Ishikawa 's ideas for the future of quality He created many of these ideas and trainings so that companies not just in Japan, but in other countries such as the US and others would continue
1. What was W. Edwards Deming’s quality philosophy? The key ideas of Deming 's on quality lies in his understanding the importance of change.

Deming was engaged with, why things do not behave as predicted? Every system will have variation, but he disagrees that it is crucial for managers to be able to differentiate between common and special causes of variation
Tools for Process improvement Numerous process improvement methods exist and have been proven over the years. A common tool mentioned in the last section Six Sigma is highly popular in organizations. Yet the most simple and effective process to date has been considered the Deming cycle (B). The Deming cycle “is a simple methodology for improvement that was strongly promoted by W. Edwards Deming. It was originally called the Shewhart cycle after its founder, Walter Shewhart ”(B). The process is a
