- Production phase After the pre-production phase, the product entered the production phase without introducing any changes in the process. Since it seemed to be stable SPC was not performed for several months, with process stability and variability being assessed by the level of nonconformities it it produced. However, after a time, an increasing number of customer complaints due to products supplied outside the specification/. The Quality Engineer decided to take 20 samples from the process with regular spacing between samples. Each sample is made up of 3 parts. The data obtained for the highlighted dimension samples are presented in Table 2 below: measurements in mm for critical sample dimension number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Observations 2 3 50.767 1 50.972 50.785 50.956 50.97 50.914 51.066 50.933 51.086 50.917 51.081 51.092 50.948 50.828 51.054 50.859 51.083 50.789 50.984 50.961 50.943 51.013 51.02 50.734 50.898 50.956 50.885 51.004 50.984 50.839 Table 2: Measurements in mm for critical…arrow_forwardplease provide upper and lower limitsarrow_forwardK- The Tyler Apiaries sells bees and beekeeping supplies Bees (including a queen) are shipped in special packages according to weight. target weight of a package is 1.2 kg.
