(a)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:The c-chart is to be constructed.

Concept Introduction:

The representation of defects in a constant sample size is done by the c-chart. This is basically used at that the time when the identification of actual number of defects is difficult.

(b)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: It is to be concluded when the next five samples have 15, 18, 12, 22, 22 irregularities.

Auto pistons at Wemming Chung's plant in Shanghai are produced in a forging process, and the diameter is a critical factor that must be controlled. From sample sizes of 5 pistons produced each day, the mean and the range of this diameter have been as follows: Day Mean (mm) Range R (mm) 158 4.3 151.2 4.4 155.7 4.2 153.5 4.8 156.6 4.5 What is the UCL using 3-sigma?(round your response to two decimal places). 1. 2. 4.

6 of 11 5 3. The manager of a building-supplies company randomly samples incoming lumber to see whether it meets quality specifications. From each shipment, 100 pieces of 2 x 4 lumber are inspected and judged according to whether they are first (acceptable) or second (defective) grade. The proportions of second-grade 2 x 4s recorded for 30 shipments were as follows: a. Construct a control chart for the proportion of second-grade 2 x 4s in samples of 100 pieces of lumber. b. Explain how the control chart can be of use to the manager of the building supplies company. Shipment No. Proportion of second grade 1 0.14 2 0.22 3 0.21 4 0.15 0.19 0.26 7 0.18 8 0.22 9 0.23 10 0.21 11 0.2 12 0.14 13 0.25 14 0.2 15 0.19 16 0.18 17 0.22 18 0.22 19 0.17 20 0.21 21 0.21 22 0.13 23 0.15 24 0.2 25 0.23 26 0.23 27 0.12 28 0.19 29 0.19 30 0.26
