Question

Canine Gourmet Super Breath dog treats are sold in boxes labeled with a net weight of

ounces

(425

grams) per box. Each box contains

individual 1.5-ounce packets. To reduce the chances of shorting the customer, product design specifications call for the packet-filling process average to be set at

44.0

grams so that the average net weight per box of

packets will be

440

grams. Tolerances are set for the box to weigh

440±14

grams. The standard deviation for the packet-filling process is

1.03

grams. The target process capability ratio is

1.33.

One day, the packet-filling process average weight drifts down to

43.0

grams. Is the packaging process capable? Is an adjustment needed?

Since the process capability index,

Cpk,

nothing,

the process

▼

is not capable

is capable

(Enter

your response rounded to three decimal

places.)

Since the process capability ratio,

Cp,

nothing,

the problem is that

▼

the process is not centered adequately

the process variability is too large

(Enter

your response rounded to three decimal

places.)
