Chapter 13.5, Problem 13.29ACB
Weight of packed frozen scallops. In Quality Engineering (Vol. 28, No. 3, 2016), control charts were used to monitor the weight of frozen scallops packed at a marine products plant. During packing, the scallops are placed In plastic trays. The target total weight (scallops and plastic trays) is 2 kilograms. To monitor the packing process, the quality control department takes 5 samples of 5 plastic trays In the overnight shift every day and records the weight of each tray. An R-chart of weight for the first 40 samples is shown to the right.
- a. Identify the rational subgroups used to construct the R-chart.
- b. Is the process in control? If not, what do you recommend?
