Answer to Problem 10P

The value of σx is 0.61.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The following information is given:

EBK PRINCIPLES OF OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT, Chapter 6.S, Problem 10P , additional homework tip  1

Sample size is given as 5 and process standard deviation is given as 1.36.

Determine σx :

The standard deviation of the sample means denoted by σx¯ is calculated by the following formula

σx¯=σn

Here,

σ refers to process standard deviation

n refers to the sample size.

The given values are σ=1.36 and sample size n=5 , substitute the values in the above formula:

σx¯=σn=1.365=1.362.23=0.61

The standard deviation of the sample means σx¯=0.61

Answer to Problem 10P

The UCL value of x¯ is 11.83 and the LCL value is 8.17.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The following information is given:

EBK PRINCIPLES OF OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT, Chapter 6.S, Problem 10P , additional homework tip  2

Sample size is given as 5 and process standard deviation is given as 1.36.

Determine the control limits for the mean chart if the value of z is 3:

Formulae to calculate control limits:

UCL=x¯¯+z×σx¯ (1)

LCL=x¯¯z×σx¯ (2)

Here,

The value of z=3

x¯¯ is the mean of the sample means

the standard deviation of the mean σx¯=0.61

Calculate the average for each sample:

EBK PRINCIPLES OF OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT, Chapter 6.S, Problem 10P , additional homework tip  3

Working note:

Average for sample #1:

It is calculated by dividing the total of sample #1 and sample size.

Average=Total of Sample #1Sample size=515=10

Note: The same continues for all the samples.

Calculate the value of x¯¯ :

It is calculated by dividing the sum of average of all the samples and the number of samples. Hence, the value of x¯¯ is 10.

x¯¯=Average of all samplesNumber of samples=10+10+10.2+10.2+10.4+9.8+9.6+9.8+9.8+1010=10

Substitute the values in equation (1)to determine the value of UCL as follows:

UCL=x¯¯+z×σx¯=10+3×(0.61)=10+1.83=11.83

Hence, the UCL value is 11.83.

Substitute the values in equation (2) to determine the value of LCL as follows:

LCL=x¯¯z×σx¯=103×(0.61)=101.83=8.17

Hence, the LCL value is 8.17.

Answer to Problem 10P

The UCL value of R-chart is 6.9795 and the LCL value is 0.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The following information is given:

EBK PRINCIPLES OF OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT, Chapter 6.S, Problem 10P , additional homework tip  4

Sample size is given as 5 and process standard deviation is given as 1.36.

Determine the control limits for the mean chart if the value of z is 3:

Formulae to calculate control limits:

UCLR=D4×R¯ (3)

LCLR=D3×R¯ (4)

Here,

D3 refers to the lower range factor

D4 refers to the upper range factor

R¯ refers to the average range

Substitute the values in equation (3) to determine the value of UCL as follows:

UCLR=D4×R¯=2.115×3.3=6.9795

Hence, the UCL value is 6.9795.

Substitute the values in equation (4) to determine the value of LCL as follows:

LCLR=D3×R¯=0

Hence, the LCL value is 0.
