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. Number of Number of Sample Breaks Sample Breaks 1 3 11 2 12 4 3 4 13 6 1 14 7 5 5 15 8 6 3 16 6 7 2 17 5 8 4 18 7 19 8 10 2 20 6arrow_forwardWest Battery Corp. has recently been receiving complaints from retailers that its 9-volt batteries are not lasting as long as other name brands. James West, head of the TQM program at West's Austin plant, believes there is no problem because his batteries have had an average life of 60 hours, about 10% longer than competitors' models. To raise the lifetime above this level would require a new level of technology not available to West. Nevertheless, he is concerned enough to set up hourly assembly line checks. Previously, after ensuring that the process was running properly, West took samples of 5 9-volt batteries for 25 test to establish the standards for control chart limits. Those 25 tests are shown in the following table: Sample Data Sample Data Hour Hour Sample Taken 1 Sample Taken 1 2 4 5 R 2 3 4 R 1 60 61 60 59 67 61.4 8 14 62 69 51 62 56 60.0 18 55 57 70 56 46 56.8 24 15 67 53 63 69 70 64.4 17 60 45 58 49 57 53.8 15 16 72 58 51 44 64 57.8 28 66 81 61 51 60 63.8 30 17 49 49 58 68…arrow_forward
