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:
