A production line is a set of sequential operations established in a factory plant where components are assembled to make a finished product or where materials are put through a refining process to produce an end-product that is suitable for onward consumption. Ford have seven production lines in their manufacturing plant for their automotive parts where each production line produces 120, 100, 80, 116, 77, 94, 112 output per day.
(a)
As the Production Manager at Ford, you are required to submit the daily report of the production plant. Calculate the mean, median, and mode from the data based on the output that has been provided.
(b)
Also calculate the three critical parameters for measuring spread in the following ways:

If the bed turnaroundtime is excessive, it can cause problems with patient flowand delay medical procedures throughout the hospital. Thiscan cause long waiting times for physicians and patientsthus creating customer dissatisfaction. The admissions RNhas assigned a patient care associate to measure the bedturnaround time for a randomly selected bed each morning,afternoon, and evening for 30 days. Following are the bedturnaround time sample observations:a. Develop an x-chart to be used in conjunction with anR-chart using 3 limits to monitor the bed turnaroundtimes and indicate if the process is in control usingthese charts.b.
