Twelve samples, each containing five parts, were takenfrom a process that produces steel rods at Emmanuel Kodzi’sfactory. The length of each rod in the samples was determined.The results were tabulated and sample means and ranges werecomputed. The results were: a) Determine the upper and lower control limits and the overallmeans for x -charts and R -charts.b) Draw the charts and plot the values of the sample means andranges.c) Do the data indicate a process that is in control?d) Why or why not?
Checkout time at a supermarket is monitored using a mean and a range chart. Six samples of n = 20 observations have been obtained and the sample means and ranges computed:
Thirty-five samples of size 7 each were taken froma fertilizer-bag-filling machine. The results were overall mean= 57.75 lb; average range = 1.78 lb.a) Determine the upper and lower control limits of thex-chart, where s = 3.b) Determine the upper and lower control limits of theR-chart, where s = 3.

The accounts receivable department at Rick Wing Manufacturing has been having difficulty getting customers to pay the full amount of their bills. Many customers complain that the bills are not correct and do not reflect the materials that arrived at their receiving docks. The department has decided to implement SPC in its billing process. To set up control charts, 10 samples of 50 bills each were taken over a month's time and the items on the bills checked against the bill of lading sent by the company's shipping department to determine the number of bills that were not correct.
