Chapter 3, Problem 32P
Summary Introduction
To draw: The control chart and to indicate if the process is in control or not.
Introduction: Statistical process control is a statistical technique used to analyze the functioning of production process. It helps to determine the factors that leads to poor quality in the production process. It also determines the measures that has to be taken in order to correct the production process.

A. Choudhury’s bowling ball factory in Illinois makes
bowling balls of adult size and weight only. The standard devia-tion in the weight of a bowling ball produced at the factory is
known to be 0.12 pounds. Each day for 24 days, the averageweight, in pounds, of nine of the bowling balls produced that dayhas been assessed as follows:
a) Establish a control chart for monitoring the average weights
of the bowling balls in which the upper and lower control lim-its are each two standard deviations from the mean. What are
the values of the control limits?b) If three standard deviations are used in the chart, how do thesevalues change? Why?
Valtec Electronics
Valtec Electronics fills orders for its electronic components and parts by truck to customers through
several distribution centers. A measure of its supply chain responsiveness is order fulfillment lead
time, which is the number of days from when a company receives an order to when it is delivered to
the customer. A distribution center manager has taken 20 samples of 5 orders each during the month
and recorded the lead time for each as follows.
Construct an Xbar chart and R-chart using 30 limits for this data and indicate if the process is in
control.

Webster Chemical’s nominal weight for filling tubes of caulk is 8.00 ounces ± 0.60 ounces. The target process capability ratio is 1.33. The current distribution of the filling process is centered on 8.054 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.192 ounces. Compute the process capability ratios Cp and Cpk to assess whether the filling process is capable and set properly.

- 7arrow_forwardA manufacturing company produces steel rods. The length of these rods is critical to their customers. The company aims to manufacture rods with a mean length of 150 cm. However, due to variability in the manufacturing process, the lengths of the rods follow a normal distribution. The company's quality control department samples 30 rods and finds that they have a mean length of 151 cm and a standard deviation of 2 cm. Calculate the Process Capability Index (Cp) and the Process Performance Index (Ppk) for this process. Assume the customer's specification limits are 147 cm and 153 cm for the length of the rods.arrow_forwardhw3q4arrow_forward
- Thirty patients who check out of the Rock Creek County Regional Hospital each week are asked to complete a ques-tionnaire about hospital service. Since patients do not feel well when they are in the hospital, they typically are very critical of the service.

- com sells books, videos, DVDs, and CDs through its internet Web site. The company ships thousands of orders each day from seven national distribution centers. BooksCDs.com wants to monitor the quality of its distribution process, specifically the number of “problems” orders. A problem order is one that is delivered to a customer late (i.e., after five days), incorrect or incomplete. The company sampled 500 orders every other day for 20 samples and tracked them to final customer delivery.

Previous studies involved asking a set of 25 questions of a large number of IRS telephone representatives to determine the proportion of correct responses. Historically, the averageproportion of correct responses has been 72 percent. Recently, IRS representatives have been receiving more training. On April 26, the set of 25 tax questions were again asked of 20 randomly selected IRS telephone representatives. The numbers of correct answers were 18, 16, 19, 21, 20, 16,21, 16, 17, 10, 25, 18, 25, 16, 20, 15, 23, 19, 21, and 19. a.
