Protective coatings of plastic and metal are commonly used on
manufactured goods to prevent wear and to add beauty to finished
products. Coating flaws of various kinds, from small holes to large
scratches, not only expose items to possible damage but also are
unattractive to consumers. The following c chart monitors the numbers
of surface flaws found on certain kitchen appliances. In this chart, 15
appliances are selected each hour, and the total number of coating flaws
found on the collection of items is graphed on the chart.
