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.

Ness Engineering is a private limited company mainly engaged in the continuous production and assembly of domestic products. The annual turnover is $900,000,000. The largest area of expenditure is raw materials and components where the annual spend is approximately $450,000,000. The Managing Director, Bill, considers that profit margins are too small and has asked you to suggest how profitability might be increased. Bill suggests that this might be done by appointing additional sales staff and by an advertising campaign, which would, hopefully, increase turnover and thereby reduce overhead cost per item. You find that purchasing is little more than a post-office function. Specifications are received from the design or user departments and sent either to supplies designated by the directors or to the supplier providing the cheapest quotation. The company does, in fact, deal with many suppliers and issues many orders for low-cost items. All purchasing is done by manual means. None of the…
The oasis outpost of Abu Ilan, in the heart of the Negev desert, has a population of 20 Bedouin tribesmen and 20 Farima tribesmen. El Kamin, a nearby oasis, has a population of 32 Bedouins and 8 Farima. A lost Israeli soldier, accidentally separated from his army unit, is wandering through the desert and arrives at the edge of one of the oases. The soldier has no idea which oasis he has found, but the first person he spots at a distance is a Bedouin. 1. What is the probability that he wandered into Abu Ilan? 2. What is the probability that he is in El Kamin?
