a

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether specifications are consistent with statistical variation in sample or not.

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

b

Summary Introduction

Auto pistons at Wemming Chung's plant in Shanghai are produced in a forging process, and the diameter is a critical factor that must be controlled. From sample sizes of 5 pistons produced each day, the mean and the range of this diameter have been as follows: Day Mean (mm) Range R (mm) 158 4.3 151.2 4.4 155.7 4.2 153.5 4.8 156.6 4.5 What is the UCL using 3-sigma?(round your response to two decimal places). 1. 2. 4.
4.  Organic Grains LLC uses statistical process control to ensure that its​ health-conscious, low-fat, multigrain sandwich loaves have the proper weight.   Based on a previously stable and​ in-control process, the control limits of the x​- and​ R-charts are:   UCLx ​= 5.35​, LCLx ​= 4.93​; UCLR ​= 0.894​, LCLR ​= 0.   Over the past few​ days, they have taken five random samples of four loaves each and have found the​ following:                                                                                               Net Weight Sample Loaf​ # 1 Loaf​ # 2 Loaf​ # 3 Loaf​ # 4 1 4.9 5.2 5.1 5.0 2 5.3 5.1 5.2 5.3 3 4.9 5.2 4.9 5.2 4 5.5 5.5 5.3 5.5 5 5.3 5.2 5.3 5.0 Part 2 Based on the x​-chart, is one or more samples beyond the control​ limits? ▼   No Yes .
Twelve​ samples, each containing five​ parts, were taken from a process that produces steel rods at Emmanual​ Kodzi's factory. The length of each rod in the samples was determined. The results were tabulated and sample means and ranges were computed. The results​ were:                                                                                                                                                                                                        Sample Sample Mean (in.)    Range (in.)    Sample    Sample Mean (in.)    Range (in.)1               9.700                          0.044                7                  9.703                          0.0212               9.700                          0.051                8                  9.707                          0.0583               9.689                          0.042                9                  9.695                          0.0394               9.706                          0.037               10…
