- Background information: Allison collected additional days of data to monitor the process. Steps to monitor using the control charts: Now monitor the process. An additional ten days of data have been collected, see table labeled “1st 10 Days of Monitoring Reservation Processing Time” in the Data File. Develop Xbar and R charts for the 1st 10 days of monitoring. Plot the data for the 1st 10 days on the Xbar and R charts. Is the process in control? If the control chart indicates an out-of-control process, note which days, the pattern, and whether it is the Xbar or R chart. Now that we have set up the control charts using enough data from a stable process, the 30 days of data, we will monitor the process. While monitoring the process, what will we use as the lower control limit for the X-bar Chart to compare against our new x-bar values ? Enter your response to three decimal places.
