Concept explainers
a)
To determine: The largest standard deviation that the machine that fills the bar mold can hold.
Introduction:
Process capability index is the measure of the capacity of a process which is the measure of ability of the process to produce the required output within specified limits.
b)
To determine: The capability of the process.
Introduction:
Process capability index is the measure of the capacity of a process which is the measure of ability of the process to produce the required output within specified limits.
c)
To determine: The lowest setting in ounces for filling machine in terms of six-bar box that will provide capability.

- Please do not give solution in image format thanku Canine Gourmet Super Breath dog treats are sold in boxes labeled with a net weight of 9 ounces (255 grams) per box. Each box contains 6 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 43.5 grams so that the average net weight per box of 6 packets will be 261 grams. Tolerances are set for the box to weigh 261±15 grams. The standard deviation for the packet-filling process is 1.01 grams. The target process capability ratio is 1.67. 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, is (____), the process is (_____) . (Enter your response rounded to three decimal places.)

- A process screens a certain type of potash granule, resulting in a mean diameter of 0.067 cm and a standard deviation of 0.004 cm. The allowable variation in granule diameter is from 0.048cm to 0.087cm. Is the process capable? a. Cannnot be determined because sample size is not available b.

Problem 8.29 The number of imperfections in bond paper produced by a paper mill is observed over a period of several days. Table 8-28 shows the area inspected and the number of imperfections for 25 samples. Construct a control chart for the number of imperfections per square meter. Revise the limits, if necessary, assuming special causes for the out-of-control points. TABLE 8-28 Area Area Sample Inspected (m?)

- answer only if you can answer both.arrow_forwardOne of the stages in the process of making denim cloth at the Southern Mills Company is to spin cotton yarn onto spindles for subsequent use in the weaving process. Occasionally the yarn breaks during the spinning process, and an operator ties it back together. Some number of breaks is considered normal; however, too many breaks may mean that the yarn is of poor quality. In order to monitor this process, the quality-control manager randomly selects a spinning machine each hour and checks the number of breaks during a 15-minute period. Following is a summary of the observations for the past 20 hours. Construct a c-chart using 3 limits for this process and indicate if the process was out of control at any time.arrow_forward A fast food franchise tracked the number of errors that occurred in customers orders. These included; * wrong menu items *wrong size drink *lack of condiments *wrong price total *and so on... Some orders may have more than one error. In one week, 1500 orders were filled, and a total of 72 errors were discovered. Find the control limits for a C – Chart to monitor the number of errors per order. Is order accuracy, good or bad ?
