The specification for a plastic liner for concrete highway projects calls for a thickness of 6.0 mm ± 0.1 mm. The standard deviation of the process is estimated to be 0.02 mm. The process is known to operate at a mean thickness of 6.03 mm. What is the Cp and Cpk for this process? Determine whether this process meet 3-sigma requirements, 6-sigma requirements, or doesn’t meet any requirements.

- West Battery Corp. has recently been receiving complaints from retailers that its 9-volt batteries are not lasting as long as other name brands. James West, head of the TQM program at West's Austin plant, believes there is no problem because his batteries have had an average life of 60 hours, about 10% longer than competitors' models. To raise the lifetime above this level would require a new level of technology not available to West. Nevertheless, he is concerned enough to set up hourly assembly line checks. Previously, after ensuring that the process was running properly, West took samples of 5 9-volt batteries for 25 test to establish the standards for control chart limits. Those 25 tests are shown in the following table: Sample Data Sample Data Hour Hour Sample Taken 1 Sample Taken 1 2 4 5 R 2 3 4 R 1 60 61 60 59 67 61.4 8 14 62 69 51 62 56 60.0 18 55 57 70 56 46 56.8 24 15 67 53 63 69 70 64.4 17 60 45 58 49 57 53.8 15 16 72 58 51 44 64 57.8 28 66 81 61 51 60 63.8 30 17 49 49 58 68…arrow_forwardStudies on a machine that molds plastic water pipe indicate that when it is injecting1-inch diameter pipe, the process standard deviation is 0.05 inches.
