Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The control charts are to be drawn based on the given data.
Concept Introduction:
The control chart is used to determine the changes in the process over the time. The control chart consists three lines which are upper control limit line, lower control limit line and central line.
(b)
Interpretation: The values of the Cp and pic for the initial capability study are to be determined.
Concept Introduction:

- Explain what might cause a process to be out of control in managing quality ?arrow_forwardSan Angelo Manufacturing Company was concerned about a growing number of defective units being produced. At one time, the company had the percentage of defective units down to less than five per thousand, but recently rates of defects have been near, or even above, 1%. The company decided to graph its defects for the last 8 weeks (40 working days), beginning Monday, September 1 through Friday, October 24. The graph is as attached Identify two important trends evident in the quality-control chart. What might management of San Angelo do to deal with each trend?arrow_forwardAn explanation of importance of the quality and identification of atleast one cost of quality for each category of costs of quality.arrow_forward
- Six sigma is considered a symbol of quality. Identify the areas it focuses to acheive quality. Explain the statistical concept using illustrations.arrow_forwardA shirt manufacturer buys cloth by the 100-yard roll from a supplier. For setting up a control chart to manage the irregularities (e.g., loose threads and tears), the following data were collected from a sample provided by the supplier. SAMPLE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 IRREGULARITIES 3 5 2 6 5 4 6 3 4 5 Determine the c¯�¯ , Sc�� , UCL and LCL for a c-chart with z = 2. Note: Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Suppose the next five rolls from the supplier had three, two, five, three, and seven irregularities. Is the supplier process under control? multiple choice Yes Noarrow_forwardExercise : Control chart for X-R variablesThe data shown in the table represent the internal diameters (mm) of automobile engine piston rings.Each sample is made up of five parts and a total of 25 samples were collected. a) Construct limits and control charts for this critical quality characteristic.

- Describe a situation where a control chart is the right tool for quality conformance. If you were a Quality Manager, would you be an advocate for the use of control charts? Why or why not?arrow_forward1. Differentiate the two schools of thought relating to the cost of quality: traditional (ECM) and TQM perspectives based on the role of variations and process inspection approach. 2. How are outcome variations related to prevention and appraisal costs? 3. Which parameters are required to compute process capability?arrow_forwardThe manager of the customer service department of Data Tech Credit Card Service Company is concerned about the number of defects produced by the billing process. Every day a random sample of 250 statements was inspected for errors regarding incorrect entries involving account numbers, transactions on the customer’s account, interest charges, and penalty charges. Any statement with one or more of these errors was considered a defect. The study lasted 30 days and yielded the data in Table. Sample Data For Data Tech Credit Card Service Samples Number of Errors in Sample of 250 1–10 3 8 5 11 7 1 12 9 0 8 11–20 3 5 7 9 11 3 2 9 13 4 21–30 12 10 6 2 1 7 10 5 8 4 a.
