Summary Introduction

Interpretation: by using x¯ chart find out when would the process stop.

Concept introduction: Mean(x-bar) charts:

X bar charts is a type of statistical process control chart which measures a central a shift in the central tendency of the process. In other words, X- bar charts monitor the mean or average of a product characteristics. The central line of the X-bar chart is the average of the samples and limits are defined as

Upper control limit =x¯¯+A2R¯

Lower control limit =x¯¯A2R¯

( A2 is a factor for mean chart)

Abbreviations:

  x¯¯= Average of the sample means

  R¯= Average of the sample ranges

  z= Standard normal variable ( 2 for 95.44% confidence, 3 for 99.74% confidence)

  σx¯= Standard deviation of the distribution of sample means, computed as σn

  σ= Standard deviation

  n= Samplesize (number of observations per sample)

R chart:

R-chart or range-chart is also a type of statistical process control chart, but it monitors the range of dispersion or variability of process. The central line of the r- chart is the average range and limits are:

  UCL=D4R¯LCL=D3R¯

( D4,D3 are factors for range chart)

The data corresponding to sampling of the given firm is given below

Mean of the diameter (x¯¯) is 0.015 inch.

Average range (R¯) is 0.002 inch.

Control limits are 3 sigma.

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: by set up x¯ chart find out, when the process would be stopped.

Concept introduction:In probability sampling method,the systematic sampling is a form of it. In which from a larger population sample member are chosen with a fixed, periodic interval but this starts with random sampling.

A metal fabricator produces connecting rods with an outer diameter that has a 1 ± 0.04 inch specification. A machine operator takes several sample measurements over time and determines the sample mean outer diameter to be 1.003 inches with a standard deviation of 0.020 inch. Calculate the process capability index.
A Quality Analyst wants to construct a control chart for determining whether three machines, all producing the same product, are under control with regard to a particular quality variable. Accordingly, he sampled four units of output from each machine, with the following results: Machine Measurements #1 17 15 15 17 #2 16 25 18 25 # 3 23 24 23 22 What is the estimate of the process mean for whenever it is under control? What is the sample average range based upon this limited sample? What are the x-bar chart upper and lower control limits?
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?
