A machine is used to fill cans of motor oil additive. A single sample can is selected every hour and the net weight of the can is obtained. Since the filling process is automated, it has very stable variability, and long experience indicates that s = 0.02 oz. The process target (process mean when in control) is 8.02 oz. A tabular cusum is being used for this process with standardized values h=4.5 and k=0.5. If the values of Cumulative sums at the end of measurement 7 were C," + = 0.030 and C,¯ = 0.0 , and measurement 8 is equal to Xg = 8.071, what will be the Cumulative sum at the end of measurement 8, that is C3 + = ? 0.041 0.071 0.051 0.046 0.061
Cartons of Plaster are supposed to weigh exactly 32 ounces. Inspectors want to develop process control charts. They take five samples of six (5) boxes each and weigh them. Sample means (X-bar) are: 33.8, 34.6, 34.7, 34.1, and 34.2 respectively. Also, the corresponding ranges are: 1.1, 0.3, 0.4, 0.7, and 0.3, respectively. The lower and upper control limits of the R-chart are respectively O a. O and 0.15 O b. 0.01 and 1.13 O c. O and 1.18 O d. None is correct O e. 0.03 and 1.18

You want to develop a three-sigma "R" chart. You know the average range is 5 based on several samples of size 10. What is the resulting UCL? (D3 = 0.22 and D4 = 1.78).
Taguchi Loss Function Panguitch Company manufactures a component for tablet computers. Weight and durability of the component are the two most important quality characteristics for the tablet manufacturers. With respect to the weight dimension, the component has a target value of 100 grams. Specification limits are 100 grams, plus or minus five grams. Products produced at the lower specification limit of 95 grams lose $20. A sample of five units produced the following weight measures: Unit No. Measured Weight 1 100 2 105 3 110 4 90 5 85 During the first quarter, 100,000 units were produced. Required: 1. Calculate the loss for each unit. If required, round your answers to the nearest cent.$_______ Per Unit Calculate the average loss for the sample of five.$______ 2. Using the average loss, calculate the hidden quality costs for the first quarter.$_________

C-Spec, Incorporated is attempting to determine whether an existing machine is capable of milling an engine part that has a key specification of 4 ± 0.003 inch. After a trial run on this machine, C-Spec has determined that the machine has a sample mean of 4.001 inches with a standard deviation of 0.002 inch. Calculate the capability index ( Cpk�� ) for this machine. Note: Round your answer to 3 decimal places. Should C-Spec use this machine to produce this part? multiple choice Yes No
Aspen Plastics produces plastic bottles to customer order.The quality inspector randomly selects four bottles fromthe bottle machine and measures the outside diameter ofthe bottle neck, a critical quality dimension that determineswhether the bottle cap will fit properly. The dimensions(inch) from the last six samples are Assume that only these six samples are sufficient, and use thedata to determine control limits for an R- and an x-chart.

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.)
