In a fabric manufacturing factory, the quality control process using control charts from SPC. In an hour there are a total of 5 samples are taken each having 5 observations regarding the thickness of fabric in measured in millimeters. In a particular hour, the sample means (X-bar) are noted to be: 172.11, 219.51 . 208.24, 112.44 and 123.30 respectively. In the same sample, the corresponding ranges are: 13.1713.3815.34, 13.04, and 13.02 respectively What are the lower and upper control limits for the R chart?
Cartons of Plaster are supposed to weigh exactly 32 ounces. Inspectors want to develop process control charts. They take five samples of six (4) boxes each and weigh them.
