Interpretation: The control over production process is to be assessed using the
Concept Introduction:
Answer to Problem 2CSQD
The mean and range values are well within the control limits as seen from the x bar and R charts. Hence, the production process is in control.
Explanation of Solution

From the 3-sigma standard control chart, the coefficient values are obtained as follows:
And the control limits are calculated
The
The mean and range values are well within the control limits and hence the process is in control.
