2) The specification for a Lindemann’s stainless steel chimney liner requires a thickness of 7.1 mm ± 0.1 mm. The firm’s quality analyst determines that the liner process operates at a mean thickness of 7.13 mm with the standard deviation of the process being 0.02 mm. a) Calculate the upper and the lower limits for the stainless steel chimney liner. b) Calculate the Cpand Cpkfor this process. Hint: Cp = (Upper Specification Limit – Lower Specification Limit)/6sigma Cpk = minimum of [(Upper Specification Limit – Xbar)/3sigma], [(Xbar – Lower Specification Limit)/3sigma]
A shirt manufacturer buys clothes by the 100-yard roll from a supplier.

Quality control programs often establish control limits that are three standard deviationsfrom the target mean of a process. If the mean of a sample taken from the process iswithin the control limits, the process is deemed satisfactory.A process is designed to fill bottles with 16 ounces of soda with a standard deviationof 0.5 ounces. Determine the control limits above and below the mean for this processusing a sample size of n = 30.
