Chapter 19, Problem 9E
Below is a p-chart for a manufacturing process.
- a. What is the mean proportion defective? What are the upper and lower control limits?
- b. Are there any sample observations that indicate the process is out of control? Which sample numbers are they?
- c. Does there seem to be any trend in the process? That is, does the process seem to be getting better, getting worse, or staying the same?

- A well-known company predominantly makes flat pack furniture for students. Variability with the automated machinery means the wood components are cut with a standard deviation in length of 0.45 mm. After they are cut the components are measured. If their length is more than 1.2 mm from the required length, the components are rejected. a) Calculate the percentage of components that get rejected. b) In a manufacturing run of 1000 units, how many are expected to be rejected? c) The company wishes to install more accurate equipment in order to reduce the rejection rate by one-half, using the same ±1.2mm rejection criterion.
